About Orbel Pinball
An old orrery workshop kept five pinball tables built around its machines: a sun wheel, a comet track, a moon on a rail, a lodestone and a locked ring vault. The lamps still work. Each table's goals lead to its finale, and its finale opens the next table.
Pinball with real ball physics on five brass tables. Light the star inserts as the ball rolls, finish five goals per table and open the next one.
How to play Orbel Pinball
Pull the plunger to launch: hold the right side of the screen or Space, then let go. A light pull drops the ball into the top lanes, a hard one sends it round the top. Flip with the left and right halves of the screen, the arrow keys, Shift or Z and M. Hold a flipper to catch the ball and aim the next shot. Every star insert the ball rolls over lights up; a full constellation pays a large award and raises the end of ball bonus multiplier. Each table has five goals in order, shown at the top of the screen with their progress: ramps, locks and multiball on Sunwheel, the spinner and Comet Run on Comet Rail, a moving moon on Tide Moon, a magnet that catches and flings the ball on Lodestone, and a drop target bank that opens a walled vault on Ring Vault. Reaching goal 3 opens the next table. Swipe up, press the Up arrow or tap Nudge to bump the ball; nudging too often tilts the machine and loses the ball and its bonus. You have three balls, with a ball save at the start of each.

Features
Five tables, five mechanics
Sunwheel locks balls for a three-ball multiball, Comet Rail runs on a spinner, Tide Moon has a moon bumper that travels an orbit, Lodestone catches and flings the ball, and Ring Vault hides a mini playfield behind four drop targets.
A goal chain on every table
Each table has five goals in order and always shows the next one with its progress. Finishing all five awards an extra ball and restarts the chain with doubled awards.
Lamps that follow the ball
Every table carries a constellation of star inserts that light as the ball rolls over them. A full set pays a growing award and raises the bonus multiplier.
Real ball physics
The ball rolls, bounces and spins off bumpers, slingshots and flippers. Tap for a quick flip, hold to catch the ball and aim, and nudge to save a drain.
Daily table and Hard mode
The daily table is the same for every player each day, with a ranking against the day's scores. Hard mode drops the ball save and tilts on the second quick nudge.
Tips
- Hold a flipper up to catch the ball on it, then let go and flip again when the ball has rolled to the middle of the flipper: shots from there are the strongest.
- On the first launch of each ball, pull the plunger gently. The blinking top lane pays the skill shot, and the flippers move the lit lane before you launch.
- Bonus multipliers come from completing the top lanes and full constellations. They pay out at the end of the ball, so a long ball with a high multiplier is worth more than a quick jackpot.
- Nudge when a ball heads for an outlane, but wait between nudges: the second quick nudge warns and the third tilts.
- On Lodestone the needle sweeps across the top while the magnet holds the ball. Flip when it points at the target you need.
Frequently asked questions
How do I launch the ball?
Hold the right side of the screen, Space or the Down arrow to pull the plunger, then let go. A short pull drops the ball into the top lanes, a long one sends it round the top of the table.
How do I open the other tables?
Sunwheel is open from the start. Reaching goal 3 on a table opens the next one, and the table stays open on this device.
What is a tilt?
Each nudge adds to a tilt meter that empties over a few seconds. After a warning, one more nudge tilts the machine: the flippers stop and the ball drains without its bonus.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. Tap or hold the left and right halves of the screen for the flippers, hold the right side to pull the plunger and swipe up to nudge. Both flippers work at the same time with two fingers.
Is my progress saved?
