## What is Pinball Breaker?

It is the world of the future. You can tell because everything is neon. First contact has been made with extraterrestrial life forms, and it is decidedly unfriendly. The last remnants of humanity huddle behind a shield that is only a couple of attacks away from crumbling. You are the last hope for our species. You are also a pair of giant pinball flippers.

Pinball Breaker Forever tasks you with repelling the nasty aliens who seek to destroy our planet. They keep descending, formation after formation, tirelessly attempting to lay waste to Earth. Use your giant pinball flippers to launch a ball at these conveniently brick-shaped foes and take them out before they can touch down. Just be careful, because while the monsters share the same general shape, they come in all kinds of types. 

You aren't without your own tricks. Break special blocks to earn power-ups that will give you the edge against your enemies. Collect coins and use them to upgrade your powers and abilities in order to survive longer and reach higher scores. Unlock new styles of flippers that make you look at least 7.46% cooler. Save the Earth now. Celebrate later. Pinball Breaker Forever.

Classic Gameplay: Take aim using your pinball flippers to destroy enemies. Aim for skill shots to earn extra points, and make use of classic brick-breaker techniques to clear out a bunch of invaders at once!

Hold the Line: If even a single alien gets past you, Earth's last shield will be destroyed. Allow another one through? Good-bye, humanity.

Retro-Future Style: If it's the future we're talking about, then it just has to be neon, right? Stylish visuals and awesome tunes keep you flipping to the beat.

Radical Power-Ups: Break the right blocks and you'll be able to make use of special balls, powers, and other helpful kinds of support.

Lots of Upgrades: Use the coins you collect to strengthen your power-ups, add new skill shots to the board, and pick up cool new flipper designs.

Multiple Modes: Choose from three different modes to find the challenge that's right for you. Do you have what it takes to survive Nightmare mode?

### 1/5 — Subscription!?!?!

*2025-04-24*

I loved this game before it got updated to only work with a stupid, practically unplayable subscription. If you have a device that runs an older version of iOS it is fun, but it is terrible otherwise.

### 1/5 — No landscape support on iPad

*2022-11-21, version 1.2.23*

Awkward to hold.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2022-07-29*

I first played this game on my moms iPad, and every chance I got to play on the game I’d take it. Now I have the game myself and I love it. I downloaded the game at the hospital because my 19 year old cousin stopped breathing😢, and this game distracted me from it. So thank you to the creators, god blessed you guys with such talent. 😃🙃👍👌❤️👾

### 5/5 — Pinball

*2020-04-22, version 1.2.8*

I had.so much fun playing this game. Super fun, super addictive. Love it😃

### 5/5 — I Love It💛

*2020-03-15, version 1.2.6*

That Game Is Sounds Like Bandai Namco💛

### 1/5 — requires subscription

*2020-02-10, version 1.2.3*

not for casual playing, requires monthly subscription commitment as it doesn’t allow you to buy it as a stand alone game. 
too much ask for a silly game imho

### 1/5 — GameClub is scum!

*2019-12-24*

No, seriously, who buys up the rights to an old game and then forces people who already own that game to pay a subscription just to access their content? GameClub and Playond, that’s who! If you haven’t already, I strongly recommend turning auto-update for your apps off, so you can control whether scumbags like GameClub can snatch your games out from under you.

**Developer response:** Everyone who bought this game prior to this update will continue to have full access to the game without starting a subscription. It sounds like this free upgrade benefit did not work for you — please write us at support@gameclub.io to get it straightened out.

### 4/5 — Fun game except one bug

*2019-12-09*

Merging pinball with breakout is a great combo, and it's mostly well done here. A bit of a tutorial/tips would be nice, especially in regards to the upgrades - some are not clear.

But the main problem is there are some spots on the screen where taps aren't registered, thus not activating the flippers! These spots are toward the bottom, on each side, around the shield icon and ball shute. PLEASE fix these!

Ugh, just discovered the sides of the screen outside the game board are bad too, which is ridiculous since those are great places to place your thumbs if the bottom corners don't work for you.
Also, this is playing on an iPhone 11 Max.

### 1/5 — Greedy!

*2019-12-06, version 1.2.1*

Subscription model, nearly $100/yr for a game with no online content or infrastructure dependency? Looks like another one I will be deleting.

### 1/5 — Physics  just not right

*2019-05-01*

I was lucky enough to play the first arcade video pinball machine some 38 years ago. This doesn’t hold a candle to it. Go play some real old school pinball machines and then adjust your physics to match!
