Controls
- Flippers
- Hold the left or right half of the screen. Hold to cradle the ball, let go to drop it.
- Launch
- Drag down on the right side while the ball is in the BOOT lane, then let go. Further pull, harder shot. A tap gives a standard shot.
- Nudge
- Bump the phone. A sideways bump pushes the ball the other way; a forward bump lifts it. iOS asks to allow motion when you tap BOOT. Turn it off with BUMP NUDGE on the start screen.
- Tilt
- Four nudges in a few seconds is TILT: the flippers go dead and you lose that ball’s bonus. DANGER is your warning.
Scoring
- L-O-A-D lanes
- Light all four to raise the bonus multiplier: 2×, 4×, 8×, 16×. Flipping shifts the lit lanes.
- Punch card
- Knock down all five drop targets: 10,000 and 2 core bits.
- Bus ramp
- 2,500 and 1 core bit.
- Core memory
- Sink the saucer: 1,000 and 1 core bit. Eight bits make a byte: 50,000.
- Tubes & tape
- Bumpers 100, slingshots 10, tape spinner 25 a spin.
- Balls
- Three balls. A ball that drains in the first 8 seconds is saved. Each ball ends with its bonus times the multiplier.
