Pinvaders is a very fun and addictive game. Its a combination of the old Pinball and Invaders games. Fight the Invaders without any spaceship. Use only a ball and the sticks to get them. Can you do it?

Have you ever thought about how fun it can be to be a giant pin that is untouchable but touchable by everyone? We thought and made this great game for you! The blue character has a place to reach, but the red characters are more than willing to beat him up. As the legendary needle, befriend the blue character on this road and help him reach his goal. Hope you have a lot of fun hitting the bad guys...
