How to play Pinball
Start Pinball by looking at the playing area and its controls. Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Original compact two-flipper table with three bumpers.
Build a steady rhythm
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
