### 5/5 — Gardiens

*2020-09-13*

Ce jeu est génial 
Ps: comment fait on pour activer les gardiens ???

### 2/5 — Upgrade not registering

*2020-07-07, version 2.4*

I purchased the “no adds, extra ball” feature for $5 but the app is not acknowledging the transaction. 
Developer please advise.

### 5/5 — Purchase

*2020-01-21, version 2.4*

Purchased game to remove ads but won’t activate, pushed restore my purchases over and over and over no effect yet

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2019-08-05, version 2.4*

Great combination of sci fi game and pinball. Very cool missions to complete and realistic physics. Why isn’t this game more known? Great job folks!

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2018-09-19*

Eigentlich macht das Spiel Spaß ... jedoch wenn man viele Punkte erreicht hat hängt sich der Ball fest und beim Abbruch des Spiels werden nicht mal die bis dahin gesammelten Punkte gewertet

### 5/5 — Very cool Free next-level pinball

*2018-09-16, version 2.4*

This is a very well designed pinball game that the developers are offering basically for free. There are very few ads, but to be totally ad-free just buy it like a normal person. One-star reviews claiming they demand you watch videos are very unfair. Look forward to more games like this

### 5/5 — Top

*2018-04-17*

Top trop bien !👍

### 4/5 — Proper video pinball

*2017-10-18, version 1.8*

What annoys me about video pinball games like zen is that most of the tables could almost be done as a traditional mechanical pinball. If your making a video game you may as well use what can be done different from a mechanical pinball, and that’s what they’ve done here. This also reminds me of sonic spinball which is another reason I like it.
