Read before your next round of Pinball
Read the aim of Pinball, then make your first move. Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Something to practise
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.
What the game asks you to do
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Making your moves
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
How your actions work
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
An example before you play
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.
One detail worth checking
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
