I like the idea of tasks to complete and the gameplay looks good. I would get it except for the mentioned scrolling..

The way the ball seems to cling to the sides is so...un-pinball like. Part of the fun of pinball (real or video) is trying to manage bouncing with finesse, or tactics like cradling the ball if you can manage to keep it under control. But here is looks like when the ball hits a slope it just sticks and rolls down, like it's sticky. I can see that getting old very fast.

No tilt here...just good ol' flipper control. We wanted to stay true to the pinball game play mechanic and not just throw in tilt for the sake of it. To answer some questions;

More than just pinball (which am not to interested in) but the gameplay makes me want to get it. I think the graphics look great and hope they add new levels in an update. I think it looks great.

What do you think of that pinball video? I find the layout very boring, compared to Metroid Pinball and Flipper Critters (NDS). Hmm... What do you think of that pinball video?
