How to Play
Pinball is a browser arcade game. Hold Space (or Launch) to charge the plunger, release to fire the silver ball into the playfield, then use the two flippers to keep it alive and rack up points before it drains.
Smash the three bumpers for combo multipliers, knock down the yellow drop targets across the top for a Target Bonus, and light all bumpers for Bumper Rush. Reach 12,000 points for an extra ball. You start with three balls; each drain costs one.
This version features charged launches, combo scoring, smooth physics, and a local high score saved in your browser. It works on desktop (arrow keys / A–L) and mobile (tap sides or the FLIP buttons).
The table is 460 by 640 with a 9-unit ball under gravity of 0.155 per frame, capped at 14 units of speed and simulated in four substeps per frame so fast shots do not tunnel through flippers. The three bumpers pay 50, 75 and 50, and the combo window is 90 frames — about a second and a half at 60fps, which is why chaining matters more than any single hit.

Tips & Tricks
- 1Hold the plunger longer for a stronger launch into the bumper nest
- 2Chain bumper hits quickly to climb the combo multiplier before it resets
- 3Clear all four yellow targets for a big Target Bonus
- 4Tip flips are stronger than heel catches — time the flip when the ball is near the tip
- 5Don't hold both flippers sealed shut — leave a drain gap or you'll never end a ball
- 6The combo window is 90 frames, roughly a second and a half — a bumper chain only counts if the hits land inside it
- 7The middle bumper pays 75 against 50 on the outer two, so aim rebounds through the centre when you can
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I score points in Pinball?
Bumpers, slingshots, and drop targets award points multiplied by your combo. Clearing all targets or lighting all bumpers grants bonus awards.
How many balls do I get?
Three balls to start, plus an extra ball at 12,000 points. Each drain past the flippers costs one ball.
Can I play on mobile?
Yes. Tap left/right sides or use the FLIP buttons, and hold Launch to charge the plunger.
How big is the table?
460 by 640 units, with a 9-unit ball under gravity of 0.155 per frame.
Is there a speed limit?
Yes. The ball is capped at 14 units per frame and simulated in four substeps, so it will not tunnel through a flipper.

90 frames, about a second and a half. Any scoring hit inside that window extends the multiplier.
