Phones join with the 4 letters on the TV (or the QR code). Your phone is two big buttons: left flipper, right flipper. Hold one to keep it up. When your car's on the plunger, the middle of your phone is the plunger: pull down and let go. Watch the TV, not your phone.
There's one set of flippers, but everybody has their own, stacked in the same spot in their own color. Yours only touch your car. Everybody else's go right through it. Mash them too fast and they overheat and go floppy.
Mushrooms: hit one and it's yours, and it pays you every time anybody bounces off it (hit somebody else's three times to take it). Ramming: hit a car hard and you score the damage you did. Wrecking somebody: 150 (and sometimes something to throw). The ducks, the high striker, the Ferris wheel, the pigs, the tractor.
Down the middle and your car's gone. Your next one comes with bigger flippers. NUDGE shoves your car three times; the fourth is a TILT (dead flippers).
Ring the high striker's bell, knock all five ducks down yourself, or wreck somebody, and you can get something to throw at somebody's flippers: a corn dog (short, fat), a wet noodle (floppy), a funnel cake (greasy), a shrink ray, a mirror (backwards). And now and then, Mushroom Hour.
Three heats of 75 seconds (your car comes back), the pit between them (spend points, your score stays), then the Feature: three cars each, no coming back. Last car running. Keyboard: A/D flippers, hold S to launch, W nudge, Q throw. J/L, K, I, U. Esc pauses.
