Although the title of the game may indicate a pinball game, it is actually a game more inspired by Breakout. The basic gameplay features the player bouncing a ball off of a paddle into a wall of bricks, chipping them off one brick at a time. Each brick destroyed earns the player points depending on its color. Once the ball bounces off the wall of bricks, its up to the player to maneuver the paddle under the falling ball in order to hit it back up into the wall of bricks.


The player loses a life if they miss a ball with their paddle and the ball falls into the abyss. The game ends when the player loses 7 balls. To keep up with the pinball motif, the wall of bricks are referred to as different colored skill lanes, the walls on the side as side rails, and the paddle as a flipper. The game offers 132 variations of this gameplay idea, including variations with different sized paddles, ball speeds, invisible bricks, and even one where the paddle shrinks when the ball is hit.
