Retro Pinball
Retro Pinball by Fuse Powered Inc is a gaming app set up just like a classic pinball machine! The app offers ten different tables to play on including Cyborgirl, Deep Sea, Excalibur, Magic, Pot-of-Gold, Space Journey, Toy Factory, Super Android, Crash and Burn and Pangea! So, it’s a sure thing you will find a few that you love! Although there are plenty of tables, only three of them come free with your download: Crash and Burn, Pangea and Super Android. The rest will have to be bought through an in-app purchase.
Retro Pinball offers awesome gameplay with very realistic bounce back movements! I was given six balls to use for my very first game. It’s definitely challenging, much like a real game of pinball! I’m sure this is an obvious fact, but you cannot see the virtual pinball machine like you see a real one. It’s very small and has a lot of little routes your ball can take. My eyes aren’t perfect anymore, so I really had to focus on all the little crevices the table had. Even though it’s not as easy to play, I definitely appreciate just how real this virtual game is compared to playing on a real machine.
Retro Pinball’s ads are pretty obnoxious, coming across your entire screen and even making you wait a few seconds before giving you an option to close them out! That lowered my rating significantly. I understand free apps need to make money somehow, but to go as far as making you sit on an ad for a while before giving you an option to close it out is outrageous. I would still recommend downloading Retro Pinball, because it’s super fun to play! Just be prepared to quit after a few of those atrocious ads!
