🎯 Pinball
Pinball
Real-physics pinball with bumpers, slingshots, drop targets, and a combo multiplier. Chase the high score across 3 balls.
📖 How to Play
- Mobile: tap left half = left flipper, tap right half = right flipper
- Desktop: ←/A/Z = left, →/L/ / = right, Space = launch
- When the ball is at the top with 'Tap to launch!', tap to start it
- Bumpers +100, slingshots +50, drop targets +250, all 3 down +2000
- Consecutive hits build a combo multiplier (×1.1, ×1.2, ...). 3 balls — survive!
About this game
Pinball is the arcade classic: keep a physics-driven steel ball in play with the flippers and rack up points off the table's targets. Bounce and acceleration are computed properly so the table feels like a real one.
The table has six bumpers, two slingshots and a bank of three drop targets. Bumpers score 100, slingshots 50, drop targets 250, and knocking down all three drop targets pays a 2,000-point bonus.
Hitting targets in quick succession builds a combo multiplier (×1.1, ×1.2 and up), so the longer you keep the ball alive in the upper table, the faster your score climbs. You get three balls; lose them all and the game ends. On mobile, tap the left or right half of the screen for the corresponding flipper.
Tips & strategy
- Don't mash the flippers — fire once, just before the ball arrives. Flipping early is the most common way to lose a ball
- Clearing all three drop targets is worth 2,000 points, so take that shot whenever the angle is available
- The combo multiplier grows while the ball stays in the upper table, so favour keeping it bouncing up there
- The drain between the flippers is the biggest danger — aim your returns toward one side rather than straight up the middle
- When the ball is moving slowly, cradle it on a flipper and set your angle instead of swinging wildly
- When you're about to drain, a light touch of the flipper kills the ball's momentum and buys a recovery
FAQ
Q. How many balls do I get?
A. Three. Once you've drained them all the game ends and you can submit that score to the leaderboard.
Q. What do things score?
A. Bumpers 100, slingshots 50, drop targets 250, and 2,000 for clearing all three drop targets. Consecutive hits add a combo multiplier.
Q. What are the mobile controls?
A. Tap the left half of the screen for the left flipper and the right half for the right. On desktop use ←/A/Z and →/L, with Space to launch.
Q. Is the physics real?
A. Yes — bounce, acceleration and gravity are simulated, so the same target behaves differently depending on your angle of approach.
Q. How long does a game last?
A. You get three balls, so a few minutes at first. As you improve you'll keep the ball alive longer and chain combos, which is where the big scores come from.
