Developer please advise. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Great Game! *2017-10-12, version 1.7* Pinball Cadet is a delightful Pinball game. Good visuals, AWESOME retro soundtrack, and responsive screen and flipper movement. The only thing holding it back is the slowdown or frame drop I experience from time to time. Some more areas to the ship would be nice as well :) ### 3/5 — Good game *2017-10-04, version 1.6* Nice graphics, fun. But is kinda glitchy and delayed at times. But overall it’s cool ### 4/5 — Great *2017-10-04, version 1.6* The game is so much better and tolerable now that you implemented some free games keep up the great work! ### 2/5 — Glitch *2017-10-01, version 1.5* Farsight has done a great job in bringing classic pinball to the digital age. However I have now tried this on different platforms and it glitches out before I can even finish a ball. Please fix. ### 2/5 — Great game *2017-09-30, version 1.5* Would be a great game if we would acquire credits after time but they make you pay in order to play or watch ads not worth it ### 1/5 — 1 life ever ...? *2017-09-29* The game is really great and have good concept... but you can only play ONE PARTY! After you need to pay ... TERRIBLE GAME with terrible developper how we can accept "game" like that!!! I higly recommend not to download this game because you will play one time and then delete **Developer response:** Hi ezzGze, there was a bug where we were not properly calculating the time between Ads, but that has been fixed now. You only have to watch an Ad every 30 minutes in the current version. Hope you'll give the game another chance! ### 1/5 — Sleazy *2017-09-29, version 1.4* You only have one free play, then you have to watch ads or buy credits with real money to continue playing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Update purple screen no game?! *2017-10-10, version 1.7* Update purple screen no game?! ### 1/5 — Hello *2017-10-03, version 1.6* More better than pinball arcade! Thanks It s the end of Farsight as we now it! ### 1/5 — Game performance *2017-10-02* Looks ok but crashes within 15 seconds of starting every time without fail. Piss poor effort **Developer response:** Hi Squishmitten, there was a generalized crash for users of 32 bit devices. Probably that was your case. We fixed it and you should be able to play without problems now. Thanks for reporting the issue. ### 1/5 — Thought this could be great... I was wrong *2017-10-01, version 1.5* I downloaded this game yesterday played it until I lost all the balls they give you so I figured good time to stop I'll log on later and be able to play with no problem.....Nope went to hit launch and it tells me if you want to play watch a add or give us real money I LAUGHED HARDER THAN I HAVE IN AWHILE AND HIT THE DELETE BUTTON!! ### 1/5 — Pinball stinks *2017-10-01, version 1.5* A 0. Game gets 0. Nothing in the world more annoying then pinball games and this is the most annoying yet. Impossible goals. I hate not being able to control the object that most matters.....THE BALL! ### 1/5 — Busted u piece of crap *2017-09-30, version 1.5* Trick studio never made this game. Farsighted made it. It cuts off u cant even play it. IPad mini. Looks like farsighted cheap crap work. If u really made this pile of non working garbage. Go bankrupt now!!! Save yourselves from lawsuits later,like ur buddy. ### 1/5 — Malo :( *2017-09-30* Cuando estoy jugando , se me cierra el juego y lo tengo que volver a abrir:((. **Developer response:** Hola Eldiux, disculpas por el problema que experimentaste. Habia un crash generalizado en dispositivos de 32 bits, el cual ya se encuentra arreglado. Deberias poder jugar sin inconvenientes! Gracias por reportar el error! ### 1/5 — Entirely money grabbing *2017-09-29, version 1.5* You have to pay or watch a video for every single game. Not really a free to play game at all. Ads are a part of free to play games, but not for every single game ### 1/5 — It crashes before my ball can hit the flipper :( *2017-09-29, version 1.4* It crashes too much to even play ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gardiens *2020-09-13* Ce jeu est génial Ps: comment fait on pour activer les gardiens ??? ### 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! ### 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 !👍 ### 5/5 — Boss fights? *2017-10-11, version 1.7* Why in the description does it say Boss Fight[S]. As far as I can tell, there is only that one Worm boss fight. Edit: Thank you for replying dev! ### 5/5 — Finally pinball done right *2017-10-08, version 1.6* As a 44 year old, I grew up on pinball and still love to play. I just could not get into any of the pinball apps available on iTunes. That is until pinball cadet!! I tried em all. I really did. The longest a pinball app lasted on my iPhone was maybe 2/3 days. Been playing pinball cadet for a little over a week now and I don’t see myself slowing down. I really love everything about it. I’m trying to think of some helpful tips for the developers to improve the game. I’m reaching here. This isn’t a major issue but multi ball is a little hard to see, probably would be easier on an ipad but in my opinion, I think the camera should stay the same on multi ball just like it is when you have one ball. I understand that you can’t see what’s happening on top if it’s changed but I think it would still be better if it wasn’t so zoomed out. That’s about it. If I can think of anything else, I’ll be sure to come back and update my review. Bravo developers!! I can’t wait for future updates. Lol I saw one review where someone wrote money whores. Are you F’n kidding me?! It’s a free app dude! Have some patience and watch a video. Jeez. Don’t get some people. I would happily pay 5 bucks for this game. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-10-01, version 1.5* Nice ### 5/5 — cool *2017-09-29, version 1.4* Like the colors! ### 5/5 — Unique! *2017-09-29, version 1.4* This game is so weird, in a good way --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
