How it plays

How does Devil's Crush play?

The game uses a vertical, multi-screen pinball table viewed from a mostly fixed overhead perspective. The objective is to keep the ball moving, hit targets and enemies, activate bonuses, and score as many points as possible before losing all balls.

Players operate the left and right flippers, launch replacement balls, and use table features to reach upper areas or bonus stages. Targets can open routes, multiply scoring opportunities, or trigger enemy encounters. Progress is score-based rather than a conventional stage campaign, although the table's separate sections and bonus screens provide short-term goals.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Devil's Crush?

Prioritize targets that open routes or activate bonus areas, but do not sacrifice ball control for a difficult shot. Learn the rebound angles around the upper table and use the flippers late, since premature input often sends the ball into the outlanes.

Keep the ball near the center whenever possible, watch for dangerous returns from targets, and treat bonus stages as opportunities to build extra balls and score rather than simply chasing individual enemies.

Before you begin

What should you know before playing?

    Target bonus triggers when the ball is safely above the flippers.
