Something to practise

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.

Your objective

Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Start here and follow along

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

Input guidance

Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

See how the rules apply

Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.

A mistake to avoid

A drained ball cannot be rescued. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
