Your goal
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.
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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
A drained ball cannot be rescued. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
