Making your first moves in Pinball
Make Pinball your next activity in the game library. Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Original compact two-flipper table with three bumpers.
A small practice goal
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you need to achieve
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
From the start of a round
- 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
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. Look for the relevant detail.
Keep this in mind
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
