Practice beyond the first move
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.
The challenge in front of you
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
How to proceed
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
How to interact with the game
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
