Your goal
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
Controls
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
