### 5/5 — read

*2024-11-23*

It’s really good an awesome thing soo fun!!!!.

### 3/5 — Nocturne's Pinball Game Review

*2019-08-24*

I downloaded this game because I needed something fun and simple. And this Pinball Game is just that. The pinball machines have nicely detailed themes, and bonuses you can win in every round, but that's about it.

I gave it a three star rating because it's easy to figure out the machines, there aren't any prizes you can exhange for points or anything exciting like that, and I was looking for more than just pulling a lever to watch a ball predictably bounce around. Otherwise I can't complain. I'd like for the game designer to have added a few more pinball machines just for the sake of having some more variety.

### 2/5 — Just like old skool hand held game too many ads

*2018-12-28*

This is a fun low tech game.  It works just like those old metal pin ball games with marbles.  Once the ball is released into play it could move a little faster to be more realistic.  Other than that it’s great.  After playing the game for one day the ads became so frequent I deleted it.  It takes more time to get past the ads than the actual time it takes to play the game and ads come after every game and every time the game is launched.

### 3/5 — New player

*2016-10-23*

This is a fun game, but I think it would be more addictive if your score would go up as the ball bounces around before it settles down.

### 5/5 — So fun!!

*2016-05-27*

Love this pinball game!! Haha its like space pinball. I am old. But space pinball is fun and so is this :) love the pirate theme!!

### 1/5 — Riddled with ads

*2014-10-04*

No sound, terrible game don't bother.

### 2/5 — So-so game

*2014-05-15*

This game has good graphics, good sound effects and good gameplay, but this is the
sort of game to play only when you are bored.
