Your goal

Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Step by step

  1. Start to launch.
  2. Use the two flippers.
  3. Bumper collisions score.
  4. Launch remaining balls after a drain.

Controls

Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.

A useful example

Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

A drained ball cannot be rescued. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
