Do you want to stare numbers or play a game?
You willl lose fast unless you nudge, which is super annoying. I hate having to nudge in pinball. The flippers are a tad too wide. It takes too long to start the next game! It scrolls through a bunch of numbers each time the game ends, so you are sitting and waiting for about half the time when you could be plyaing. The flippers are sluggish, as though they are heavy. And the worst part is that the music is horrible and can't be turned off sepately from the game sounds. You can't tell what is happening unless the sound is on. So you are playing "blindly" or you have crappy sounds that ring in your head long after the game is over. The table is cool and does a lot, but you spend more time staring at the board than doing anything fun. Too bad. It looks like a lot of work was put in, only to ruin it with small issues that could easily be fixed.
Too Much Lag
Playing on an M1 MacBook Air, using the built-in keyboard, and there's like a half-second pause from when you press the key to when the game responds. I've always preferred Pinball Arcade over Zen Pinball when playing them on PS4, but on this laptop I might have to switch because to me this is unplayable. And on the same machine, same controls, Zen Pinball is VERY responsive. So, I love you, but fix this please. I buy tables. Sets of tables. If fixed, I buy. :p
Pinball as it was meant to be
I've played pinball my whole life and was thrilled when this app came to market years ago. I've played some of the other pinball apps but always come back to this one because it is true to pinball form. The other apps lose the essence of pinball with points that continuosuly float up from targets and that also have bizarre ways adding 'challenges' to the already diffuclut challenge of getting a high score and beating the machine. This app is like the old genuine days when you put quarters in and went right for the flippers.
adding more pinball backgrounds
will you add South park to this game?
Won't even launch
I'm running Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave) and the game won't even launch.
All WMS tables GONE
I owned nearly ALL of the WMS tables and now I open this app and the only table I apparently own is Frankenstein?!? I get that you folks lost the WMS license, but I didn't know that YOUR loss would mean that all the money I paid to you to buy those WMS tables would cause me to lose them, too! This is BS of the highest order. If you're not going to support your longtime players, then I want the money I paid to you back.
This App is 100% Garbage
I purchased dozens of tables prior to the de-licensing of Williams and Bally tables in 2018. I counted myself fortunate until I downloaded the games. Multiples of the tables froze upon launching, including Bride of Pinbot and White Water. Very disappointing. I recently updated my IOS but unfortunately my ipad froze upon rebooting. Once I successfully updated, I had to reinstall some apps, including pinball arcade. Once I re-installed the app, multiple paid tables have disappeared. Mysteriously, several more disappeared a couple of days later. I have tried calling Pinball Arcade phone support on multiple days, but they NEVER pick up. Never, as in never. It’s not an actual phone support line as of course, they can’t be bothered to actually talk to you, their paying customer. Also, they DO NOT reply to email support. Ever. The ONLY WAY to contact them is via facebook messenger. HOWEVER, be WARNED THAT THEY WILL FORCE THROUGH A HUGE NUMBER OF HOOPS AND LIE TO YOU CONTINUALLY IN HOPES THAT YOU WILL GIVE UP. These clowns are absolute ripoff artists. Avoid this app at all costs.
