How your actions work
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
One way to understand the rules
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
