Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.

Controls
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
