Level 47
When I first looked at this level, I thought it would be very hard if I played it. A fellow player of mine who has actually completed the level has rebuked me. Here is his input:
"I beat DX ball multiple times. You have a few errors but let me point out the most annoying one. level 47 is WAY easy. all that you need to do is get your ball stuck between some of the indestructible bricks to cause an infinite loop. most people do it by accident. any way, what happens is all the indestructible bricks become destructible after like 2 min. very easy. the end."
Makes sense to me. Thanks Joe.
Level 48
Eek, just when you thought it was over after 47, they throw 48 at you.
All the spaces in the middle are invisible pink bricks. I suggest working one layer at a time, trying to hit all the exploding bricks on the sides to help you get through all the yellow bricks. It doesn't help that theres only a 2-space opening at the bottom of this mess either.
Luckily, there are more bricks to destroy than in 47, which means that, sooner or later, you are likely to get a power-up and beat the rest of the level in style.
Level 49- "Patchwork Quilt"
This is kind of a breather after levels 47 and 48. The level alternates, in 3x2 boxes, colored bricks and gray bricks which take up the entire field. It, however, is similar to the other full-screen colored levels; just take your time and eventually you'll get a power-up or you'll just give up.
Level 50- "Last Level"
This is a very simple level intended as a victory dance for you. Just destroy all the bricks and pat yourself on the back for beating one of the most demanding games out there as far as patience goes. You probably just spent 2-3 hours straight hitting balls with a paddle. Reward yourself!

7) CHEATS
---------------
Note that cheats decrease the fun factor of the game and also your points if you use the blaster. However, I feel obligated to list them since I used the level editor cheat to help me with the descriptions of the levels. Note that the in-game cheats must be entered in each level.
- Level Editor: On the title screen (the one before you actually play), press ctrl and F1 at the same time.
- Grab paddle: While playing, hold control and press F2.
- Blasters: While playing, hold control and press F3.
- Enlarge paddle: While playing, hold control and press F4. You can only get your paddle one size above the size you start at with this cheat.
- Reverse all paddle power-ups and return the paddle to normal: While playing, hold control and press F1.
- To make the game play music, hold control and press F5. However, I suggest you play your own music instead :).
