If you make a pinball game, then PLEASE make sure you make the flippers and the flipper physics work well and consistently! That aside, make the flippers work, period! In my game, the right flipper just plain freezes up completely, or lags by SECONDS - completely unplayable. The flippers are also completely inconsistent and the same launch will produce completely different results (many of them looking plain unrealistic). Just so frustrating to be teased by something that looks and sounds like the perfect original, but instead just leaves you annoyed, frustrated and unsatisfied. Please please fix this perfect wonderful little game! ### 3/5 — A bit disappointing *2022-07-12, version 1.1.5* I’ll start out by saying that of course it’s gonna be hard to measure up to the expectations that come with nostalgia. The game does great in some areas. The noises are the same, the layout of the board is the same, the game’s mechanics work similarly. It’s good to play when you’ve got a few minutes. That being said, the game leaves much to be desired in some areas. Whenever the game would normally award you an extra ball, you get nothing here. Text comes up saying that you got an extra ball but you never get one. Games are limited to 2 balls, or 3 if you watch an ad. The physics that this game uses is a little different than the original. The ball can get stuck in some places, the most frequent seeming to be by the black hole under the ramp on the left. When this happens the game just spawns a new ball at the top of the board. My main thing is with the 2 ball limit with no way to get extras through gameplay. This really limits how far you can take the game, and when you can lose a ball through no fault of your own, the extra balls are an especially important mechanic. ### 2/5 — How do you manage to mess up pinball? *2022-07-12, version 1.1.5* As a pinball lover and above average player, I can tell you with certainty this game is not designed correctly. The flippers and overall ball physics are far from as they should be. The biggest problem with the game is the overly common occurrence of the ball falling right down the middle and leaving you hopeless, losing without a chance. Sure, it happens in pinball, but not anywhere near as common as this game is designed to make it out to be. I don’t know if it’s due to the size of the flippers or if the game is just designed to set the player up for failure, but seems like a failure from the development team of this app more than anything. ### 4/5 — A fantastic throwback! (With some room for small improvements from here) *2022-03-13, version 1.1.5* An excellent and very playable version of this classic. I love this so much! Everything looks and feels great, much like I remember. Reasonable in-app purchase to support the dev, none of that nickel and dime business. As for the small improvement opportunities: Landscape mode option would be fantastic, split screen for iPad with another app would go a long way towards restoring the original’s real intended purpose of being played on the side while you’r being “productive” with a spreadsheet or something. Support for Magic Keyboard input. Mapping flippers to Z and ? While launching ball with SPACE would make this completely perfect! ### 3/5 — Good game *2022-01-25, version 1.1.5* This is an awesome game back in the day when it was on windows. But there are some noticeable issues like the ball seems heavy & sluggish & when you hit the ball into the ramp on the right side sometime it doesn’t shoot out but instead it just resets the ball at the top also at times the ball will perfectly fall directly in the center & you can’t even stop it with the flippers, I’ve lost plenty of high scoring game because of this issue. Also the two far left & right shoots behind the flipper should be removed ### 3/5 — An almost amazing throwback *2022-01-07, version 1.1.5* This game is a near perfect recreation of the old space pinball on windows back in the day. However, there is a major issue, when the ball goes into any of the wormholes at the wrong speed it will just get stuck there. No way to jolt the table and break it free, and there’s no reset ball button option or even a way to report the issue within the game. I would love to leave a 5 star review but this glaring issue can mean you’ve played several million points and then have to back out of the game, even with balls still left simply because there’s no way to fix this glitch. Fix this glitch and the review will go to 5 stars for sure. ### 2/5 — OG Windows Edition > This edition *2021-12-27, version 1.1.5* If you download and play this game, you will start to figure out there are missions and stuff to do to get a higher score. BUT, if you’d like to do them, I would recommend uninstalling this and getting the windows edition. The original 3D space pinball has different physics than this game does, and many different features that this game doesn’t have to offer. Yes this game is fun, but if you are looking for a higher score, this game is actually pretty rigged. Look up the 3D space pinball .exe file and install it and play it on a computer. There are so many less bugs and it just works better than this does. ### 2/5 — Fix the mistakes *2021-12-26, version 1.1.5* I loved this game as a kid and I’m so happy I found the game on the App Store! However, there’s one HUGE mistake that this game makes that the original didn’t... when you complete a mission it stays until you lose all of your lives. In the mobile game as soon as you die, all of your progress is lost and it’s basically like playing another game all over again. PLEASE PLEASE fix this mistake! That’s what kept me from rating it 5 stars. Other than that, it’s pretty spot on with the original game which was super nostalgic ### 4/5 — Mostly Great With a Few Annoying Glitches *2021-11-29, version 1.1.5* I was thrilled to see this game on a mobile app, and it mostly plays great. As mentioned in other reviews there are a few sound effects missing, and there are a few glitches that mar the experience a little. Sometimes the ball will disappear, which isn’t a big deal as it will reset up top. More problematic is that at least on my version, the right bumper sticks pretty frequently/has a delayed reaction. Secondly, it seems as though the game resets the mission progress on a lost ball, which I do not think should be happening. Hopefully easy fixes in future updates. ### 4/5 — A Fun Classic! *2021-11-10, version 1.1.5* I was reminiscing earlier today on my Windows XP days where I would spend a lot of my computer time playing this game, so I typed in “pinball games” on my app store thinking of this game but fully expecting it not to be on a mobile app store. But to my surprise, amongst a plethora of pinball games, I found this game I spent so much of my childhood playing. It’s not a perfect copy of the original desktop/PC game. It’s missing some key sound effects and the slightly more refined mechanics of the original game, but it’s still enjoyable and brings back good memories. My only other complaint, and the main reason I rate this four rather than five stars, is that the ads got annoying really fast. I understand why they’re on a mobile game like this, but they’re way too frequent and I’ve had them interrupt in the middle of me playing the game and not just in between games. Other than those issues, which I hope can be tweaked or fixed, I’m glad I downloaded this gem of a game. ## Frequently asked questions about Old Space Pinball ### What is Old Space Pinball?
