Hang Glider pinball rules and strategy

In Hang Glider, use the left spinner or right orbit to keep the ball up top and build Bonus to 15,000. Shoot the right orbit while lit to double it. Collect the lit right Double Bonus lane to light the left spinner for 1,000 per spin. The center saucer scores and advances Bonus for each target already hit, but a miss there can drain.

The goal

Use controlled upper feeds to build Bonus. Shoot the right Double Bonus lane when lit to double Bonus and light the left spinner, then repeat the spinner while its return is controlled.

  1. Shoot through the left spinner or right orbit to keep the ball in the upper playfield and build Bonus.

  2. When the right Double Bonus lane is lit, shoot through it to activate Double Bonus and light the spinner.

  3. Repeat the lit spinner whenever its return feed remains controlled.
