Practice with a purpose
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success

Follow these playing steps

The controls to know
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
One detail worth checking
A drained ball cannot be rescued. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
