About

Space Pinball

Features
Read full description

Space Pinball is a pinball game for people who miss the one that came with the computer — the plunger, the ramps, the ranks, the sound of a ball rattling around a lit playfield. Eight tables, each with its own art, layout and soundtrack. Deep Space is the classic cadet table. Retro CRT is pixel aliens and chiptune. Neon Arcade is a synthwave grid in hot magenta. Solar Flare burns molten gold. Ice Nebula is frozen gas and pale blue light. Crimson Void is blood red on black, with no stars left. WHAT'S IN IT • Real flipper physics — flip, hold, nudge, and tilt if you push too far • Eight tables with distinct layouts, bumpers, ramps and targets • Missions with fuel timers, drop targets and score multipliers • Ranks from Cadet to Fleet Admiral as your score climbs • Ball save, kickback and extra balls • Game Center leaderboards and achievements • Local high score table for your ten best runs • Plays entirely offline — no account, no sign-up CONTROLS Touch the left half of the screen for the left flipper, the right half for the right one. Drag down on the lane to pull the plunger. Swipe up to nudge the table, but three nudges in four seconds triggers TILT and your flippers go dead. PREMIUM The free game includes the first table and shows advertising. Space Pinball Premium is a single purchase — no subscription — that unlocks all eight tables, every table added later, and removes advertising completely. Family Sharing is supported.
