What you are aiming for
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How to proceed
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
Input guidance
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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Pay attention to this rule
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
