Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The steps to play
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
How to use the controls
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
Pay attention to this rule
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
