### 3/5 — Great game but REALLY outdated

*2026-06-22*

ZEN usually delivers incredible pinball games and as a Portal fan I was excited to play this but the UI, graphics and quality look so ugly in comparison to more recent releases AND it’s missing the board guide that other ZEN games include on the pause menu… so I’m a bit disappointed. If ZEN decides to refresh the quality of the graphics (stuff like the Chell model for example) improve the UI design (currently it looks really really bad) And they add the table guide then this game would be a 10/10

### 4/5 — Fun but very buggy

*2025-12-28*

It works 👍

### 1/5 — No english ?

*2025-11-23*

Awful

**Developer response:** Hi, there is English language in the game. Is your phone's language set to English by default in the settings? Thanks for your feedback.

### 5/5 — Bestes Pinball Spiel aller Zeiten aaaaber...

*2021-11-25*

Alle 6 Tests zu schaffen ist ja schon wie ein Sechser im Lotto, aber warum sind alle Tests futsch, wenn man während des Kampfes mit Glados ein Ballaus hat, jedoch noch längst nicht Game Over ist??? Ist es euer Ernst, dass man dann alles nochmal von vorne machen muss??? Das ist doch nicht fair...... flenn, heul...

Wie dem auch sei, das Spiel hat Suchtfaktor hoch 10 und macht meeega Spaß! Langweilig wird es auch nicht, da es tausende von Effekten gibt, Super Musik, toll ausgedacht und so...

### 1/5 — Download issues

*2021-04-20*

I paid for this game and waited for it to download on my phone. Opened the game and then it says there’s a large download that needs to happen. Fine. I go to download it and it keeps giving me an unknown error. Try again. I was pretty excited for this game, and having paid for it I’m pretty disappointed I can’t even start it. Will change rating if the error gets fixed.

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry to hear that! Could you please contact us at support@zenstudios.com so we can look into this? We'd be glad to help!

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2019-11-23*

Impossible de télécharger les données ; il y a manifestement un bug. Achat inutile.

### 1/5 — Will not download

*2019-05-04*

Won’t download to either iPhone or iPad many tries = all fail DO NOT WASTE $

**Developer response:** Hi Plinthgarnel! Thank you for your honest feedback, and sorry for not hitting the mark. I will forward this to our developers, so, hopefully, we can do better in the future. Have a nice day!

### 1/5 — It doesn’t download

*2019-04-14*

For some reason when I downloaded this app it said I have to download and play and when I did it always said unknown error. Please help me I can’t download this app. I paid 1.99 for this app and it doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Hi Templar Knight! We would be glad to help you with this issue! Could you email us at support@zenstudios.com so we can solve this problem?

### 1/5 — Junk

*2018-10-13*

I bought this with the assumption that I could play this through the main Zen Pinball app. Why is it that I can buy this same game twice? I can buy the app or I can buy the exact same table in the Zen Pinball app? Link them? What the heck are you thinking?

**Developer response:** Hey! We can help you out regarding your problem, please write an e-mail to support@zenstudios.com! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Rad
