Play Bumper Bash Online

You wrestle with just two buttons—one to pull back the plunger, the other to fine-tune your shot, then suddenly they’re flippers as the ball ricochets off flashing bumpers. That weird scoring system keeps you guessing when targets randomly spike their points.

Game Overview

Bumper Bash is this weird little Atari 2600 pinball game that somehow makes a single paddle controller feel like a full pinball setup. You’d think two buttons wouldn’t be enough, but here’s how it works: right button pulls the plunger down, left button reduces its power, and pressing both together actually fires the ball. Then those same buttons suddenly become your flippers—it’s kind of genius once you get the hang of it.

The playfield’s got all the classic pinball stuff—bumpers that light up for big points, rollover targets, even these little spinners that rack up points if you nail them just right. The scoring’s a bit odd though—some targets randomly give 10x more when flashing, so you’re always chasing those moments. And yeah, ignore the difficulty switches; they literally do nothing here.

It’s janky in that very Atari way, but there’s something satisfying about mastering the two-button chaos. Just don’t expect modern pinball physics.
