An idea for your next attempt
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.
The objective of a round
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
The playing sequence
- 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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
Avoid this misunderstanding
A drained ball cannot be rescued. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
