BUILD IT. PLAY IT. MAKE IT YOURS. PicoPinball Studio puts an entire pinball creation platform in your hands. Play a collection of original tables, then open the built-in editor and create a pinball game of your own—directly on your iPhone or iPad. Start with a complete table or one of several flexible starter layouts. Place and adjust flippers, bumpers, targets, ramps, walls, spinners, saucers, lights, sensors, and more. Fine-tune the physics, build scoring systems, create combos, trigger multiball, design jackpots, and turn your ideas into a fully playable game. PicoPinball Studio is made for anyone who loves pinball, game design, or building interactive worlds. You do not need to know how to program. The visual editor and flexible table system let you create through direct placement, adjustment, and configuration. PLAY ORIGINAL PINBALL GAMES Jump into a growing collection of included tables, each with its own visual identity, sounds, music, objectives, scoring, and gameplay. Whether you want a quick game or a deeper challenge, PicoPinball Studio brings responsive digital pinball to your phone or tablet with touch, keyboard, and supported controller input. CREATE YOUR OWN TABLES Use the built-in visual editor to create, adjust, test, and refine your games. Build with features including: • Flippers, bumpers, targets, walls, ramps, spinners, saucers, and sensors • Adjustable physics, gravity, bounce, friction, and object behavior • Custom scoring values, multipliers, bonuses, jackpots, and extra balls • Combos and event-driven game logic • Multiball and ball-launch behavior • Custom lights, colors, flashes, and light sequences • Dot-matrix display artwork, messages, and animations • Background art and decorative playfield shapes • Original music, sound effects, and gameplay audio • Game names, descriptions, themes, and presentation settings CREATE WITHOUT CODE PicoPinball Studio’s table format is visual and data-driven. Move objects, adjust settings, assign actions, and test your ideas immediately. Make a simple classic table, a fast modern game, an atmospheric adventure, an experimental layout, or something completely new. The same tools can be used for small adjustments or for building an entire game from the ground up. DESIGN DEEPER GAMEPLAY A great pinball table is more than a collection of objects. PicoPinball Studio gives you tools to create connected objectives and meaningful progression. Build sequences in which targets activate lights, completed shots start modes, repeated hits advance features, combos increase scoring, and major accomplishments trigger jackpots, multiball, music, sounds, or custom display animations. Your table can be straightforward and arcade-like or layered with goals, secrets, and long-term strategy. MAKE IT LOOK AND SOUND LIKE YOUR GAME Create a complete identity for each table. Choose colors and visual styles, add custom playfield artwork, build dot-matrix display scenes, select music, assign sound effects, and create feedback for important shots and achievements. The result is not just a layout—it is a complete playable pinball experience. SAVE, LOAD, AND KEEP CREATING Save your work and return to it later. Experiment with new ideas, revise existing tables, create alternate versions, and continue improving your designs as you play. PicoPinball Studio is built around the idea that creating and playing should be part of the same experience. Make a change, test it immediately, and keep refining until the table feels right. PINBALL FOR PLAYERS AND CREATORS PicoPinball Studio is a playable game, a portable design studio, and an open-ended creative tool in one app. Play the included tables. Learn how they work. Start with a template. Build your own rules. Create your own world. Your table. Your rules. Your game.
