User Reviews: 3D Pinball Space Cadet

Top reviews

  • Yes, it’s the actual game

    Fully playable and everything plus it sounds great, however it’s kinda buggy. The score interface can overlap score/mission text if the game is exited and reentered. Also, the sound can stop playing when exiting and reopening the app too. I think with some bug fixes this could be the best pinball game on ios. Pretty sure the game also runs slower than the windows original
  • Absolutely awful should get my money back

    Barely functional extremely choppy. Graphics are awful and it’s like playing in slow motion at 5 frames per second on an iPhone 15 pro
  • Empty

    Downloaded the app and it doesn’t even work. Screen is just blank with 3D pinball at the top and won’t even play. WTH?
  • Nostalgic, simple improvements needed to be a 5 star

    Echoing what some have posted:
    Ability to turn music on/off, sound effects on/off individually would be awesome! 👏🏼 High score table: I don’t see how to even edit the default name, “Player 1”. If high scores could be saved to my iCloud, maybe even shared with or forward-able to others, that would be great too. 😁 High scores right now only last as long as the app is open, kind of like a retro Super Nintendo or Arcade game.

    Also, the physics are super close; but when the ball comes out of the hyperspace launcher, in Windows XP, it would bounce perfectly into the engine launch ramp without any user input, like 90% of the time. On this one, the ball typically hits the edge of the ramp walls instead. Maybe it’s a minor physics difference 🤷🏼‍♂️
  • S

    Near perfect, it is with extreme appreciation that you went through the trouble to develop this game as I always thought it would have on Android first if it were ever to happen in the first place. I know even to this degree,I’m sure it was a lot of trouble to take an old windows PC Game and convert to Apple let alone iOS format so I won’t be so hard on the game because that in itself deserves appreciation that I am much grateful for. The only 2 complaints I have is I wish you could turn the music off like you can with the original. The sound effects are awesome. And you cant enter or even submit new scores. Aside from being alittle laggy which again I don’t expect that to ever be perfect but aside from that thank you so much for your troubles with this legendary game of the past.
  • Can’t save scores

    Can’t save high score even though it gives you the option. You can’t change the player name or hit ok to save. You can only hit the x to close the score window. Sometimes the bumper doesn’t react to you touching the screen. Overall just like the original game though.
  • Too Bad

    Love the nostalgia but what’s with the music? Can’t turn it off. I just want to hear the pinball sounds, not the music, but there’s not control in Settings.
  • Screensize

    Just use an iPad then the screen won’t be too small anymore.
  • Absolute nostalgia

    my literal only complaint is how small the screen is, however, it’s totally worth it for that little bit of nostalgia. The size is the only reason for the four star. Took me a hot minute to figure out how to make the little bumpers move in order to actually prevent the pinball from sliding down the center.
    How to play
    When you open it, on the right side of the screen, there’s an F2 an F3 and a bracket that basically supposed to be the space bar. For volume, as soon as the game opens tap F2 and it’ll start a new game and that normally turns on the volume. At least it has every time for me. F3 pauses the game. If you hold the 3rd button down that’s how you launch the pinball. tap each lower side of the screen in order for the bumpers to work to hit the pinball.
  • Doesn't work

    Doesn't work, can't use keys, won't stay on screen. Complete waste of money and no way to get a refund.
