Astral Atlas

16-ball condition challenge

A sixteen-ball observatory challenge built around a condition table, physical slot coverage, and one First Light target.

START reveals one or two initial slots and a separate first-ball target. Launch all sixteen balls, grow the covered set, and read the final condition on the backglass.

Session pattern
Sixteen manual launches share one durable session; repeat landings still count as physical outcomes but do not expand slot coverage.
What to watch
The numbered slot lamps show physical coverage, while the 4×4 backglass is a separate condition table. First Light belongs only to the first ball.
Machine rules

How this cabinet works

Astral Atlas is a 16-ball condition-grid session. The backglass grid shows reward conditions, not physical landing-slot destinations.

  1. Press START · 16 Tokens

    The server lights 1-2 physical landing slots and marks a different First Light target for ball one.

  2. Launch 16 star balls

    Pull the plunger for every ball. A new numbered landing slot adds one distinct light; an already-lit landing slot records a repeat without adding progress.

  3. Claim First Light

    If the first ball enters the flashing target landing slot, the title lights and the final Ticket award gains 10 Tickets.

  4. Read the final condition

    After all 16 balls settle, the server selects one backglass award. Six balls in one lane earns Replay; exactly eight lanes with two balls each earns 120 Tickets; otherwise the final lit count applies.
