Nebula Pinball
Play Nebula Pinball now · free, no download, no sign-up
Nebula Pinball is a full-height neon pinball table set in space. Launch the ball with the plunger, then keep it in play with the flippers while it rattles off pop bumpers, slingshots, drop targets, a spinner and a long ramp. Missions on the score display pay big and lead to three-ball multiball.
It suits anyone who enjoys the click and flash of a real table: newcomers can simply keep the ball alive, while practised players can chase combos, lane bonuses and ramp jackpots for a high score.
How to play
- Hold to pull back the plunger and let go to launch the ball.
- Use the left and right flippers to keep the ball from draining.
- Bumpers, slingshots, drop targets, the spinner, the ramp and the left orbit all score.
- Light the three top lanes to raise your bonus multiplier; the flippers rotate which lanes are lit.
- Complete missions on the display; every second mission starts three-ball multiball with ramp jackpots.
- Chain ramp and orbit shots within four seconds for combos.

Tips
- Let the ball settle on a raised flipper before shooting, so you can aim at the ramp.
- Avoid flipping both flippers at once all the time; it leaves the centre open.
- Use the flippers to rotate the lit lanes so the ball drops into an unlit one.
- Focus on missions, since multiball is where the biggest points come from.
- During multiball, aim for the ramp to collect jackpots rather than trying to control every ball.
About the game
Pinball tables have filled arcades and bars for generations, mixing physics, skill and a little luck. Nebula Pinball carries over the real elements, from slingshots to a drop-target bank and an orbit, and wraps them in a space theme with a rotating set of missions.
The table is tall, so it fits a phone held upright with each half of the screen working as a flipper button. On a desktop, the keyboard gives fast and precise flipping.
