how to play
- Hold SPACE (or hold the shooter lane on a touch screen) to pull the plunger, then let go. A full pull rides the orbit over the top and down through the spinner.
- Skill shot: each plunge lights one top lane in amber. A soft plunge (one or two chevrons) drops the ball onto the top lanes; flip to move the amber lane under it before it lands. Every skill shot in a game pays more than the last.
- Flippers: ← / →, A / L or Z / /. On a phone, tap the left or right half of the table. Each flip rotates the lit top lanes, and the skill shot lane with them.
- ↑ or W (a quick swipe up on a touch screen) nudges the table. Nudge too often and you get a DANGER warning, then another, then TILT: dead flippers and no bonus for that ball.
- Roll through all four H‑A‑C‑K lanes to light the Gibson and raise the multiplier, up to 5×.
- Slam the lit Gibson for the jackpot. That starts multiball: two more balls, a ball save, and another jackpot every time the Gibson relights.
- Crack the DA VINCI, ACID BURN and ZERO COOL targets to relight the left-outlane kickback. The spinner pays 5× while the Gibson is lit.
- Crack that target bank twice and the Da Vinci virus hits: 30 seconds to hit the spinner (grab the garbage file), then the Gibson, before the tankers capsize. The faster you are, the more it pays.
- Combos: shoot the spinner orbit, the Gibson or the target bank off a flipper, then hit another within five seconds. Each link in the chain pays more.
- HACK THE PLANET: play out a multiball and kill the virus in the same game and the Gibson lights for the finale. Slam it for 25 seconds of two-ball chaos where every switch scores 5×.
- Cracking the target bank a third time earns an extra ball, and so does reaching 150,000. A banked ball lights SHOOT AGAIN.
- Each lost ball counts up an end-of-ball bonus from what it did, times your multiplier. Flip to hurry it along.
- Three balls. A top-10 score goes on the high score table, and STATS keeps your lifetime totals, both in this browser. M and S toggle the music and sound; F (or the Full screen button) fills the screen; P pauses. After a game, Score card makes a shareable image of your run.
