Pinball: a guide for your next round
Open Pinball, check the instructions and begin a round. 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.
Original compact two-flipper table with three bumpers.
Try a more deliberate round
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. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Start here and follow along
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.
Follow the example
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Notice this detail
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
