### 4/5 — Faithful, but some problems

*2026-07-01, version 1.0*

It’s a faithful recreation of a game I used to play as a kid. It’s fun, the sound effects are the exact same, but if you play more than one game in the same session, the sound just turns off for no reason, but that’s really my only gripe. Beyond that, it’s perfect.

### 5/5 — OH MY GOD

*2026-04-12, version 1.0*

i used to play this back in 2001 on our old AOL running pc 2hours before school and would be eating a bowl of frosted mini wheats w/milk whilst trying to get the highest score... i just hope they have this game in heaven too at least.

### 5/5 — Just like the old game I missed

*2026-04-11, version 1.0*

Exactly what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-04-07, version 1.0*

I very much appreciate no ads and functionality and for that you get 5 stars. however I haven’t been successful in getting the sound to work, which I would enjoy.

### 5/5 — My Childhood Favorite

*2026-04-07, version 1.0*

This game is my childhood. Saying thank you doesn’t begin to describe how thankful I am that this masterpiece still exists today. Thank you to whoever kept this game alive for all these years. I will play this game until the day I die. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!! 😎👍

### 5/5 — Peak Gaming

*2026-03-31, version 1.0*

Thank you so much for putting this on the App Store. Best pinball game ever!!

### 5/5 — It works and no ads.

*2026-03-28, version 1.0*

Works like the original. Couple notes. It would be nice to have it a little larger and to see top 10 scores. Also settings change after every game to music instead of sound.

### 5/5 — Nostalgia!

*2026-03-25, version 1.0*

This is exactly as expected, thank you for this labour of love! Brings me back!!

### 5/5 — So exciting!

*2026-03-12, version 1.0*

I randomly thought to look for a pinball game because of this game right here. I can’t believe I found this! I loved this on PC. Awesome, awesome!

### 4/5 — Nostalgie pur gratis

*2026-02-17*

Eigentlich ein schönes Spiel, aber warum fängt bei jedem neuen Spiel wieder die nervige Musik an? Die Sounds sind doch das geile an dem Spiel! Man kann die Musik jedes Mal im Menü abstellen, aber irgendwann wird es nervig. Wenn das behoben wird, die Einstellungen beibehalten werden, dann gibt es sofort 5*.

### 5/5 — Finally.

*2026-02-12, version 1.0*

Every few months I check back to see if anyone has ported this to mobile and we finally got it. It runs exactly like the original game so it’s already five stars, but some suggestions to make it shine:

- On-screen button or something for the plunger. It’s hard to tell how long it’s been depressed. 
- Personal leaderboard like the original so you can see like your top ten scores. 
- Quick restart button.
- Maybe zoom and stretch the image a bit so it fills out more of the screen, or reintroduce the original UI elements like the logo and number of balls so there isn’t so much negative space. 

Not even sure this game is legal, but thank you.

### 5/5 — Well done on this game!! Peak Nostalgia

*2026-02-09, version 1.0*

Remember my family’s first PC in the 90s had this game (included with Windows). So many great memories playing this with my dad and brother.

### 5/5 — Best game ever developed

*2026-02-09, version 1.0*

After trying to find this specific game over the years I came across it on a facebook page; and I couldn’t help myself from looking it up. After playing it a few times and a few days i realized something special and specific about this game. It literally has no ads. All these games talk about “no ads and fun to play” but this game finally got it. Whoever re-developed this masterpiece of my childhood is an absolute legend. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastical

*2026-02-05*

Thank you very much. A volume control would be nice. Also after the first game it turns music on

### 5/5 — The Original!!!

*2026-01-30, version 1.0*

This is the OG windows version of the game. I only wish the game had a bit better graphics. Other than that, everything is perfect just the way it was.

### 5/5 — Thank you very much for bringing this classic to iPhone?

*2026-01-24, version 1.0*

I have no idea how this developer got the game’s rights to make a port, it’s as fun as I remember it!

### 1/5 — Ball just goes to the middle

*2026-03-07, version 1.0*

The ball has a 1/5 chance to bounce around the screen for over a minute before falling directly in the middle where no flipper can reach. This happens to me no matter what sometimes for hours regardless of what my inputs are

### 1/5 — App funktioniert nicht

*2026-02-08*

Lädt zwar herunter, aber Bildschirm bleibt schwarz

### 1/5 — Nett aber…

*2025-11-21*

… völlig fehlerbehaftet und unausgereift. Wobei am Nervigsten ist, dass das Spiel sich keine Voreinstellungen merkt. Schaltet man das Musikgedudel aus, ist es im nächsten Spiel wieder an. Und das ist mit all den (wenigen) Einstellungen so. Und dann meldet das Spiel öfter einfach „Tilt“, obwohl man überhaupt keinen Nudge vorgenommen hat. Dass die Highscore-Liste dann immer nur den letzten Hiscore anzeigt und sonst nichts, fällt dann kaum noch in‘s Gewicht. Schade.

### 1/5 — Stressful

*2025-10-14, version 1.0*

This game is just no good. The windows version was my first ever video game but it’s not a very good one. I see the app icon with my other games but I just don’t want to play it these days. Humans are from Africa where there are wide open spaces. Compacting an entire outer-space adventure into a stagnant camera seems like a clever idea but it just doesn’t work.

### 2/5 — Digital Pinball badness.

*2025-10-12, version 1.0*

Game has lots of stuttering.

### 2/5 — なぜかBGMが鳴り出す

*2025-07-21, version 1.0*

一度ゲームオーバーになってもう一度プレイしようとすると、いままで流さなかったBGMが勝手に鳴り出す。

あとバーがたまに動かなくなる不具合有り。

### 3/5 — 🧌

*2026-07-13, version 1.0*

Works fine but their is only one machine

### 3/5 — weckt Kindheitsgefühle

*2026-06-12*

Geil! Dieses Spiel gab es früher auf dem PC und es ist genauso wie damals, Der Sound, die Optik, die Musik, die Auftrage, die Tricks... Aber... Sehr Schade dass es z.B. auf dem Ipad sehr pixelig ist, das sollte doch in heutiger Zeit behebbar sein. Es gibt auch keine Tasten, also müssten diese Einstellungen angepasst werden, sowie auch speicherbar sein. Mehrfach habe ich einfach nur den Flipper bewegt und war gleich TILT, äußerst empfindlich eingestellt, ich denke hier ist Handlungsbedarf, da etwas mehr Herzblut rein in diese Kleinigkeiten, dann gibts 5 Sterne!

### 3/5 — It has a few bugs but still fun.

*2025-11-06, version 1.0*

You can’t save the sound and screen settings, it resets after every game. The number of plays left is not displayed so it’s hard to track what number you are on.

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2025-10-20, version 1.0*

Just downloaded this game and found that it’s very laggy and slow. Not functioning smooth like the old computer game used to. Loved playing but will probably stop until issue is resolved

### 5/5 — Amazing port

*2026-04-25, version 1.0*

So much nostalgia. This feels like it was made for iPhone. I love it so much! Great job porting this over. Everyone should enjoy this game. I will say the centering is a little off but I can get over that. Devs if you could also change how it always turns music on after your game is completed that’d be awesome. Thanks!
