Lots of classic pinball fun.

Lost many hours playing this game.

Excellent Pinball

I love this, then forget how much I love it and rediscover it again. I like the simplicity of of the layout (I also love Littlewing’s Crystal Caliburn, which is not simple). If the developer is reading this, I would be thrilled if you released Loony Labyrinth for iPadOS, best pinball game I ever played.

It’s probably me but I…

Used to play this game way back and spent many hours at it. Terrific. Now I am old and was excited to see it but… Two things for an old fart:

One. Why don’t I get any sound? The volume is turned up on where it says sound and also a music but………

Two. How do you quitWithout actually turning off and restarting my iPad pro 2020?

Any help from you young whippersnappers would be great

Old and great

Pinball the way it should be

So much fun. And real technique works.

Slap saves and love catches are all possible and it is a blast to play. Finally a table that’s easy to learn the rules of and difficult to master. Bravo!
Played this decades ago and this portable reboot is great.

Note to others shake the table to the left by jerking the iPhone or iPad left while hitting the right flipper (by tapping). And often this will save a ball that’s about to drain down the middle. Basic pinball technique actually.
Cheers!

Great pinball

Very fun and simple pinball game with good physics. Only suggestion would be to add a “Tilt” function. Worth the price.

Xanija is garbage

This game is really fun.

Audio ?

Loved this game since playing it on an old 286. Is there a trick to get the music and audio on iPad Air 2? Tried everything. My iPad has no issues.

Fun, but there’s one problem

This game is fun, and has enough elements to keep me interested. But there’s one glaring problem, that many others have pointed out. I read the reviews and just thought these people were whiners, but now I see what they mean. The gap between the paddles is just too large, making it impossible to hit the ball way too often, thus killing the fun of having a good streak going. The ball tends to travel towards the middle of the screen most often and seems to find it’s way between the paddles so often, with no chance of hitting it, that it becomes frustrating and I turn the game off and play something else. I really recommend to the developers to fix this somehow, by either reducing the gap or making it less likely for the ball to drop down the middle so often by adding another obstacle to the middle. That’s my two cents. Good game, but kinda ruined at the same time... gonna go play some other pinball apps now...

Addictive retro type like pinball

Very great pinball in all aspect. A great polished game with retro look. An absolute must have for any pinball fan.

Thank you for updating this to 64 bit!

Best Pinball Ever

These guys do a real great job of making pinball on computers seem real!

Perfect as always - still the best pinball

I've enjoyed this game on several platforms for almost 20 years. Never change! I'm writing because I sometimes get a message that the game may soon become outdated for futre iOS versions. I hope this never is the case.

Please update for 64 bit

I love this game. It's wicked fun to play on my iPhone and iPad. One of the best virtual pinball games ever. Now my devices are warning me that this game needs to be updated to 64 bit in order to remain compatible with future versions of iOS. Hey Littlewing, please update this game so that it will continue to work on future versions of iOS. Release it as a new version and charge me again, that's fine as long as I can keep playing Tristan on iOS.

Fun pinball!

Great fun and challenging. Little Wing, can you please make sure it's updated for future versions of IOS??

Never gets old

I had the original on my 1993 386 PC and loved it. This plays as good as the original although the left flipper is a little balky and the tiny screen doesn't help, either. A great app, though.

Good but...

It says to shake the phone to tilt, but no matter how/when I shake my phone, it does not nudge like it did when I played this on my Mac LCII :(

Best there is!

I've been playing this game for years. The physics are the best, most realistic feeling. I have tried the other pinballs in the App Store. This one beats them for physics.

Good game play that you won't soon get tired of. I wish they were still making new ones.

Still Best Pinball Ever

Played this a thousand times on the PC back in the 90's and am very glad to use this version on the iPad the last couple of years. Not quite as easy in this version as I feel less control since the iPad moves as it's played compared to using a PC with a keyboard. Still it's loads of fun!
