About this game
Pixel Pinball is a single table set in a haunted arcade, with ghosts on the cabinet screens and a jukebox that swallows the ball. You get three balls and a scoring panel beside the table that shows what each shot is worth. Lit lamps build up an end-of-ball bonus, so a long ball pays twice.
Goal: Score as many points as you can across three balls by hitting the table's lanes, targets, ramp and hole.
Pixel Pinball is an original pinball table built for the browser in the style of 1980s arcade cabinets: pixel art, a chiptune soundtrack and CRT scanlines, all generated in code. It is free, has no ads and needs no download or account.

- On a phone
- Tap the left or right half of the screen to flip; use the Nudge button at bottom left, and hold and release the Plunger box at bottom right to launch. Tap the scoreboard at the top left to pause.
- Round length
- A three-ball game usually takes 3-8 minutes.
Tips
- Lighting all three top lanes raises the bonus multiplier and pays 2,000, and the multiplier resets with each new ball.
- The left ramp is worth 1,000 plus two lamps and the jukebox hole pays 500 plus a lamp, so both build the end-of-ball bonus quickly.
- Knocking down all three drop targets pays an extra 1,000 for the bank, and the targets reset shortly afterwards.
- Three nudges within two seconds is a tilt, which kills the flippers and wipes that ball's bonus, so space your nudges out.
Questions
How do I get an extra ball in Pixel Pinball?
Reach 50,000 points. It is awarded once per game.
How does the end-of-ball bonus work?
Each lamp you light during a ball is worth 250 times your bonus multiplier when the ball drains, unless you tilted.
How do I launch the ball harder?
Hold Space or Down, or hold the Plunger box on a touch screen, and watch the power bar fill. Let go to launch.
