Pinball is a very interesting elimination game that has attracted countless players with its unique puzzle solving method and rich prop system. Today I'm going to share with you some key tips on how to successfully operate in pinball.
Assembly: Preparation Phase
First, you'll need a keyboard or mouse that fits your pinball ball and makes sure it works properly. Pinball is a one-handed game, so you can choose a joystick with multi-function buttons.
Installation
Turn on your computer and install the latest Windows operating system updates.
Download and unzip the latest version of Pinball (available via the official website).
Copy the pinball installation package to your desktop or USB drive and click to unzip it. The system will automatically start to search for pinball.
Adjust keyboard settings
To ensure smoother gaming, you need to adjust the function keys on your keyboard. Open Device Manager, find Touchpad (usually the pushpin in the upper left corner) and change it to Simulate touchscreen. This will use your physical fingers instead of a mouse to enter characters while you play the game.
game mode
There are six pinball modes, you can choose according to your preference. The game interface in default mode will display pinball balls, oak trees, and a background image. Other modes include:
Normal mode: Simple mode for one-hand control.
Multi-point mouse mode: Adjust game speed via the touchpad, which is much faster than simply using one finger.
Quick Key Mode: Use keyboard shortcuts to perform actions while playing games.
Operation skills
ball and oak tree
The core of pinball is an oak tree and a basketball. You need to select the correct ball according to the characters on the oak tree to eliminate the oak tree, while the area below the oak tree is determined by the pinball how to move to the next location.
Oak: On an oak, only green letters or numbers will appear on the screen. Click or touch the corresponding letters or numbers on the oak trees to eliminate the corresponding number of oak trees.
Balls and symbols around the oak tree: These marks represent specific options, such as the need to remove an area, or perform a certain action. Click or touch the balls to execute the corresponding commands.
move along the oak tree
Pinball's default duration is 40 seconds, which is usually enough for most gaming needs. But if your game takes longer, try adjusting the Speed option to keep it at the length you want in your game.
Moving Oak Trees: A number or letter will appear above the oak tree that appears on the screen to indicate its location and type.
Use keyboard navigation: press specific keys to move the oak tree to the next location. For example, the "A" button moves the oak tree 1 position to the left, while the "B" button moves the oak tree 1 position forward.
Repeat operation
Pinball does not rely on the current display order of the screen to play the game. You just need to press the key on the keyboard repeatedly to eliminate the corresponding number or character.
Repeat Oak Tree: Clicking the same location multiple times will repeat the action of eliminating the oak tree.
Repeat Letters/Numbers: Likewise, you can select multiple characters and press them continuously to move the oak tree repeatedly.
Find the small button
Pinball has four small buttons at the bottom of the screen that turn on hidden mode and unlock the game. These icons represent different game tips or options that can be accessed by just clicking on them.
Quick keys and touchpad
Although not recommended, you can take advantage of the touchpad to speed up gameplay in certain situations. Although there are no direct shortcut keys for operation, there are some shortcuts that can help players get closer to their destination faster:
Quick button above the oak tree: When you need to move or select a position during the game, you can click the small ball icon below to pop up the shortcut panel.
Keyboard fast forward button: Adjust the game time to the specified value by pressing the "E" key.
reverse operation
If you want to eliminate oak trees in an area in reverse order (e.g. from top to bottom), simply move the button above the oak trees to cancel the action.
Conclusion
Pinball is a very interesting elimination game that attracts many players with its unique gameplay and rich options. While it may not require as much manual effort as some other silencer games, you can complete most tasks with ease thanks to simple and efficient keyboard input. If you're having trouble playing or getting bored of certain parts, check in with yourself and adjust your technique over time.
I hope this tutorial can help you get better at pinball, and I wish you have fun playing the game!
