About Pinball
Pinball brings the arcade table to your screen, drawn fresh in your browser. Launch the ball with the plunger, keep it in play with the two flippers, and rack up points on the bumpers, slingshots and lanes. Knock down every drop target to raise the multiplier, then shoot the ramp to cash it in. The daily table gives everyone the same mission, such as lighting the lanes or hitting the ramp a set number of times, for a big bonus.
How to play Pinball
- Hold the plunger and let go to launch the ball. Tap the left or right half of the table, or use the flipper buttons, to flip.
- Bumpers, slingshots and lanes score points; light all the drop targets to raise the multiplier, and shoot the ramp to collect it.
- The daily table gives everyone the same mission; finish it for a big bonus. A ball save covers the first seconds of each ball.
- Keyboard: Z or Left Shift or the left arrow for the left flipper, M or Right Shift or the right arrow for the right, Space or down arrow for the plunger. Three balls; scores are saved on this device.
Tips & strategy
- Flip late: let the ball roll down the flipper a little before you hit it to aim it higher up the table.
- Catch the ball by holding a flipper up, then aim your next shot calmly instead of flipping at everything.
- Light the drop targets first: every multiplier step makes the ramp and the mission worth more.
- Do not panic when the ball heads down the middle; a quick tap of both flippers can often save it.
Pinball: questions and answers
How do I play on a phone?
Tap the left or right half of the table, or the flipper buttons, to flip. Hold the launch button and let go to fire the ball.
What is the daily mission?
A goal that is the same for everyone today, such as hitting the bumpers or the ramp a number of times. Finish it for a bonus; free play has a new mission every game.
Can the ball fall through a flipper?
No. The game checks every collision many times a frame, so even a very fast ball bounces off the flippers and walls properly.
