Buzzer Run

This software is a game that challenges you to guide a pinball through various mazes without crashing into any walls. Using the four arrow keys on your keyboard, you must navigate the pinball to the exit within a given time limit. You start with 5 pinballs, and if you crash into a wall, one pinball is deducted, and you must restart the level. The game is over once all of your pinballs are used up.

When you complete a level, your score is based on the number of pinballs left, remaining time, and a bonus for that level. Additionally, you'll receive extra pinballs and time that carry over to the next level. Press the Enter key to proceed.

Each level has pickups scattered throughout the maze that offer a range of effects. The yellow Minime shrinks the pinball to a quarter of its original size, while the aqua Supersize doubles it. The dizzy Slow decreases the pinball's speed, and the flash Haste speeds it up. There's also a pickup that adds extra time and one that deducts remaining time. If the pinball encounters a new pickup while an effect is happening, the new effect replaces the previous one. But beware: except for timing pickups, effects last only about 20 seconds, so be careful.

Overall, this game is a challenging and engaging experience that rewards careful planning and strategy.
