Flipper Foxtrot Rhythm Explosion pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Flipper Foxtrot alternates between rhythm inputs and pinball shots. Match notes with the white and yellow buttons; when a ball launches, the red buttons control the flippers and Shoot Here marks the target. Choose a song and difficulty before starting that loop.
The goal
Choose a song and difficulty, match the notes with the white and yellow buttons, then use the red flipper buttons to shoot the shot marked Shoot Here.
Choose a song and play its notes
Choose a song and one of the five difficulty levels. Press the white and yellow cabinet buttons as the matching notes reach the guides at the top of the screen. A missed note launches a ball; on Hard and Challenge, pressing an explosive note also launches one.
How to return a launched ball
Use the red flipper buttons and shoot the shot marked Shoot Here. The marked shot awards 5,000 points and restores a large amount of health; any other shot awards 1,000 points and restores a small amount.
Finish the song
Continue until the song ends. Losing all health ends the song; draining a launched ball removes a large amount of health and returns play to the rhythm game.
