How to Play

Controls

  • ← / Z Left flipper
  • → / X Right flipper
  • Space Hold & release to charge plunger

Mobile

  • Tap left / right of field for flippers
  • Tap the right edge to plunge

Goal

Hit gate targets in the order shown in the current mission panel.

Gates

  • H Puts a qubit into superposition
  • X Bit flip (quantum NOT gate)
  • Y Bit and phase flip combined
  • Z Phase flip on |1⟩
  • S Phase shift by 90 degrees (pi/2)
  • T Phase shift by 45 degrees (pi/4)
  • CX CNOT: entangles two qubits

Other elements

  • Reset target (orange): resets mission progress
  • Bumpers: random scoring, no mission progress
  • Top lanes: light all 3 to multiply your score
