About

This one-player pinball game tasks you with guiding a ball across three distinct tables, each with its own layout and difficulty. You start with five attempts, scoring points by hitting bumpers and targets. Advancement requires using a single ball to trigger specific targets and funnel the ball into a cup, mishaps send you back to earlier screens or cost a ball. The bottom screen is the most forgiving, but any drop there ends that turn. The tiered structure sets it apart, offering a clear challenge progression. Early pinball games rarely layered risk and reward this way, making it a relic of 80s design. While not flashy by modern standards, its mechanical simplicity and escalating tension still hold up for nostalgia players. The single-ball advancement rule adds strategic weight to each shot.
