You can control the flippers using the arrow keys on your keyboard or by touching the corresponding areas on the screen if you're playing on a mobile device.

The main objective is to control your flippers to keep the ball bouncing and scoring points continuously until the timer ends, while preventing the ball from slipping past your flippers.

While the core gameplay focuses on keeping the ball in play, some versions may include power-ups or special features that can enhance your gameplay, such as multiplying scores or extra time. Check the game details for specific features.

Flipper Ball is primarily designed for single-player experience. However, depending on the version, there might be options for multiplayer mode where you can compete against friends.

If the ball slips past your flippers, it will end your current round. The game will then either restart automatically or prompt you to start a new round, depending on the game settings.

To increase your score, aim to keep the ball in play for as long as possible, hitting targets and scoring zones within the game area. Some versions may also offer bonuses for achieving certain milestones.

Some versions of Flipper Ball may include different difficulty levels to cater to players of various skill levels. Check the game settings or instructions for details on how to adjust the difficulty.

Many versions of Flipper Ball allow you to save your high score, so you can compare your performance over multiple rounds. Check the game's menu or settings to see if this feature is available.
