About

Tiltworks

Features
Read full description

Tiltworks is a pinball machine with twelve original tables. All twelve are included. There is nothing else to buy, nothing to unlock, and nothing to wait for. TWELVE TABLES, TWELVE RULESETS Every table has its own layout, its own art, its own music and its own complete ruleset: four timed modes, a lock ladder into multiball with a jackpot sequence and a super, a wizard mode most players will never see, a bonus multiplier, a combo system and a skill shot off the plunge. Tin Alley Jazz is built to teach you. The Bramblewood and Grand Aviary are built to beat you. PHYSICS THAT BEHAVE The ball is solved with continuous collision detection at 480 Hz โ€” swept circle against capsule, resolved to the exact moment of impact. That is what stops a ball travelling at full speed from passing straight through a flipper. Flippers are kinematic bodies with a real angular impulse curve, so where the ball meets the bat changes where it goes. Shots that come up short rattle back out of the ramp at your feet, exactly as they should. EVERY CONTROL A PINBALL PLAYER EXPECTS Hold either half of the screen for that flipper; both work at once. Flick the screen to nudge the cabinet and save a ball โ€” too hard and you get warnings, then a tilt that kills the coils and takes your bonus. Drag the plunger for the skill shot. Trap on the flipper, aim, and shoot. A WORKING OPERATOR MENU Balls per game, ball save length, tilt sensitivity, replay threshold, extra balls, shot hints, and the setting every pinball player argues about: outlane width, which physically slides the guide posts on every table between closed, stock and wide open. TOURNAMENT MODE Fixed seed, three balls, no ball save, outlanes wide open, no extra balls. The same machine for everyone, with its own separate score table. LOCAL HIGH SCORES Ten scores per table with three-letter initials entry, separate standard and tournament boards, and a record of the modes you have completed, the multiballs you have started and the wizard modes you have reached. ONE PURCHASE, AND THAT IS ALL No advertising. No in-app purchases. No subscription. No account, no sign-in and no data collection. Tiltworks makes no network connections at any point โ€” it behaves identically in aeroplane mode, and it will still work in ten years. EVERYTHING IN IT IS ORIGINAL Every playfield illustration, backglass, dot-matrix animation, sound effect and music bed was generated for this game. There is no licensed machine, no trademark and no third-party artwork or audio anywhere in it. That is exactly why all twelve tables can be included in one purchase. Requires iOS 17. Plays on iPhone and iPad in portrait.

Blocks Falling's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
