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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Put the rules into context
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Check this before moving on
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
