The Pinball playbook
Start Pinball by looking at the playing area and its controls. Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Try a more deliberate round
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
How to proceed
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
Using the playing area
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Follow the example
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.
Pay attention to this rule
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
