An example before you play
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
