Neon Pinball: Neon Rush

Neon Rush is a futuristic pinball table made of black glass and neon light. Two translucent ramps glow pink and cyan, the ball leaves a light trail, and a spinning vortex in the middle throws it off course. Free in your browser, no download.

The spiral ramp on the left makes a full loop in the air before it drops the ball back to your left flipper. The sky ramp on the right climbs over the hex bumpers and drops the ball into them from above.

There is a third flipper on the right side of the table. It moves with the right flipper button and lets you shoot the spiral ramp from above.

How to play Neon Rush

1. Launch the ball. Hold Space (or hold your finger on the table) to pull back the plunger, then release. A stronger pull sends the ball around the orbit; a soft one drops it into the top lanes.
2. Flip. Use the left and right flippers to send the ball back up the table before it falls between them. Each game has three balls.
3. Follow the mission. The mission panel shows what to shoot next. Missions lead to multiball and jackpots.

Neon Rush rules and scoring

• Combos. Any ramp pays 6,000 points times the combo. Hit another ramp within five seconds to raise the combo, up to ×5.
• Light the lock. A sky ramp shot lights the lock on the spiral ramp.
• Lock a ball. Shoot the spiral ramp while the lock is lit. Lock two balls this way to start a three-ball multiball.
• Jackpots. During multiball every ramp is a jackpot of 30,000 times the combo.
• Vortex. The spinning disc in the middle scores 500 and swirls the ball in a new direction.
• N·E·O lanes. Light the top lanes to raise the bonus multiplier.

Pop bumpers score 100 (200 during multiball), slingshots 30, and every feature adds to the end-of-ball bonus, which is multiplied by the bonus multiplier when the ball drains. An extra ball is awarded at 750,000 points.

Pinball tips for a higher score

• Don't flip at everything. Wait until the ball is just above the flipper. Flipping too early sends it down the middle.
• Catch and aim. Hold a flipper up and let the ball roll down onto it. With the ball resting near the base you can take a calm, aimed shot.
• Ramps need speed. A ramp shot has to climb, so hit the ball with the flipper while it is moving fast. A weak shot rolls back out.
• Cross the table. The left flipper aims at the right side of the table and the right flipper at the left side.
• Use ball save. For the first ten seconds after a launch, and at the start of every multiball, a drained ball is returned to you.
• Soft plunge. A gentle launch lets the ball drop into the top lanes instead of flying around the orbit.
