Overview
A new and unique pinball experience where you play on six different interconnected tables as you try go for the highest score possible. For $3.99 you'll get some stunning graphics and sounds, but that price is a little high compared to the gameplay of other pinball games out there.Features
As I mentioned above, the game has six interconnected tables included in it to keep things interesting so you're not on the same table for the entire game. The game runs at 60 frames per second, which gives you some very smooth gameplay.
The game also features the option to pause, save, or resume any game that you are playing. Other than the touch controls on the flippers, there is also an accelerometer tilt feature as well. The game has local and online high score boards too.
The Breakdown
The Good:
As the app states, the gameplay is very smooth and works really well. The graphics are very vibrant and stunning to look at. They really look great here. The sounds do a great job of giving the game that "realistic" feel as you play it.
The six interconnected tables are a great feature here and easily the best part of the game. Instead of the usual one table pinball play like most games. this one has six that you can keep climbing up on as you play the game. It really makes things more interesting and it's a lot of fun trying to get to the next table.
The Bad
Although the six table feature is "good," it's also got some "bad" too it as well. At times it can get confusing as you go from one table to the next and sometimes you lose a ball and others you go down a table. It becomes a little jarring at times.
Again, there is six tables and that's great. However, each table doesn't have that much to on it so there isn't really a lot to go after in terms of where to aim the pinball.
