Answers based on the current game.
How do the flippers work?
Tap or hold the left and right sides of the table to control their flippers. Use two fingers when you need both. A well-timed upward return matters more than holding both sides continuously.
How do I complete a mission?
Check the mission briefing before you start. Score targets and timed flipper returns are required, with extra goals for higher stars. The mission timer and remaining balls are shown above the table.
What do the three bonus targets do?
The shield protects against one fall through the center gap. The clock slows table motion for five seconds. The bolt charges the ball for up to three block-breaking hits within twelve seconds.
How do I raise my multiplier?
Keep hitting different targets in a chain. The latest balance rewards deliberate play; returning through a ramp or goal in the opposite direction does not award another score.
How many missions are there?
There are 15 missions across Stadium, City and Neon, with up to 45 stars. Different layouts introduce blocks, rotating barriers, timed gates and a moving goalkeeper.
Does my progress save automatically?
Progress, earned coins, unlocks and settings are saved locally. There is no account-based cloud sync. Resetting progress or removing the app can remove that local data.
Progress & settings
Your progress.
On your device.
Levels, unlocks and settings are saved locally. There is no in-game account or cross-device cloud sync.
Use the game’s Settings to manage sound, music, haptics and reminders. Resetting progress removes your saved game after confirmation. Removing the app can also remove its data.
If you are troubleshooting, try restarting first. A progress reset should be a deliberate choice.
Quick fixes
A few things
to check.
I cannot hear the game.
Check the separate sound and music switches in Settings. Check your device volume and silent mode, and whether audio is playing through headphones or another connected device.
I stopped receiving reminders.
Check the reminder switch inside the game and the app’s notification permission in iOS Settings. Reminders are optional and are scheduled on your device.
The game or controls seem stuck.
Pause and resume, or close and reopen the app. For a recurring problem, include the level or mission, your iPhone model and iOS version in your support message. Avoid resetting progress as a first troubleshooting step.
How do I share my result?
Open the result card preview and use the system share sheet. You choose the destination. Sharing through another app follows that app’s privacy practices.
