Visual Pinball vs Chaotron

The official Visual Pinball app. Built by volunteers since 2000 and open source since 2010, Visual Pinball is the simulator the virtual pinball community has been playing for over two decades. More than 70 people have contributed to it, and this app runs the same engine as the desktop version, so every table plays with the physics, lighting and sound its creator intended. No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. Made by volunteers. Two years of work from the Visual Pinball volunteers, in one update. Thank you for your patience, and for playing! A FRESH NEW LOOK • Redesigned for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass • Favorites and recently played tables at the top of your list • Search, sorting and three tile sizes • Light, Dark or System appearance • New loading screen that shows progress THE FULL DESKTOP EXPERIENCE • The complete Visual Pinball in-game menu for graphics, sound, controls and table options • Remap every button on keyboards and game controllers • Save settings for every table, or just the one you're playing MORE TABLES, LOOKING BETTER • Show the backglass and score display (DMD, alphanumeric or reels) on screen, right where you want them • Support for PUP packs, FlexDMD, B2S backglasses, video playback and VNI colorizations • All the latest physics and rendering improvements from the desktop version • Much lower memory use: textures are compressed on first load, then cached EASIER TABLE MANAGEMENT • Import .zip files, along with .vpx and .vpxz • Share any table as a single .vpxz file • The web file manager can now upload whole folders, extract archives, edit scripts and settings, and show the log live AND MORE • Many stability and memory fixes This version requires iOS 26.6 or later.

A retro-style falling-block puzzle game with the grid taken out. Two rules changed, and all the chaos follows from them. ROTATION IS ANALOG Pieces are not limited to quarter turns. The right stick spins a piece to any angle at all, and holds it there. GRAVITY IS REAL A piece that lands is a rigid body. It tumbles, it slides, it settles wherever the physics puts it — on a corner, on a slope, wedged against a wall. The stack is a pile of objects, not a tidy grid of cells. So there are no rows to complete. A horizontal band clears when it is FULL ENOUGH: enough of its area covered, at any angles you managed. Only the blocks whose centres fall inside the band are removed. The rest of the piece survives, breaks into loose fragments if it has to, and keeps falling. Nothing is shifted down — the pile collapses on its own. PIECES THAT ARGUE BACK Most pieces are ordinary. A few are not, and you find out which the hard way. HEAVY — cast steel, several times the mass, falling faster than anything else in the well. It shoves the pile aside instead of settling on top of it, then freezes at whatever angle it stopped at. BOUNCY — Matte rubber. It will not land where you aimed it. STICKY — Slime. It splats where it touches and stays there, and whatever leans on it is stuck too. The one piece that will not slide down into the gap it was about to fill. SLIPPERY — Ice. It skates off whatever it lands on, and whatever rests against it is slippery too. MAGNETIC — It draws its neighbours in for as long as it is in the pile, and bends your falling piece off the line you aimed at. WEDGES — Right triangles. They stand exactly where they land and leave slope behind, which is the one thing in the game that can undo a hole instead of making one. BALLS — The only thing in the game that rolls: off the shoulder of the pile, down a slope, into a corner, dragging whatever it hits. CONTROLS Left stick steers. Right stick spins. The button between them drops the piece. External game controllers are supported as well. Free. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account required. Works entirely offline.
