Good tables, another effort in development and it will soon perfect ( especially several cameras)

not a bad game, needs some general cleanup ( minor portrait mode issues, some interface cleanup/button work) overall tho, fun I’m not going to compare this to TPA, or FX3, it’s not a fair fight. it works well, good flow to tables, good themes, fun to play… its developing quite well.

Flip-Out!
Flip-Out! is a challenging pinball game with a twist, the flippers can move! This combination of pinball and the Breakout-style gameplay of horizontal movement and brick breaking brings you a brand new way to play pinball with new challenges and strategies. Our first table, The Curse of Crab Cay, puts you in what should be a serene undersea grotto, but marauding pirates and ghostly skeleton crews overhead have disturbed the calm of the cay and it’s your job to assume the role of a local crab to restore peace and quiet. Hit your targets and you’ll get to face an even bigger threat!

Pinball Evolution VR
I am updating my review posted Aug 2017.
5 out of 5 Stars.
My user on Pinball Evolution is TW
Pro’s
This game is great. First off you can sit down and rest your hands however your want because the only functions are to activate flippers and the plunger. Specific hand placement is not needed
It is extemely realistic the physics are spot on.
The developers are responsive to comments by players.
The sound and visual effects are perfect for the style of table.
The real improvment over actual pinball are the effects on the balls, changing colors, on fire etc.

Whew, stunningly spooky pinball, a perfect Halloween experience!
The surrounding environment is a bit too “dark and empty” in my opinion.
It feels a bit too disconcertingly spooky for me personally.
I’d prefer something a little warmer, like a room in a castle
with stone walls, perhaps a fireplace or wall-mounted torches,
a dragon curled up sleeping perhaps, with a view out the window
of some stars and village lights, instead of this very ominous-looking
empty dark arcade.
If you check out the nightime lighting settings that you can

Pinball Wicked
One or two months before PinbalFX3 started releasing Williams tables I was playing ProPinball Timeshock!, developed a taste for more pinball and since I didn’t care for TPA, Zaccaria or the PinballFX3 originals I bought Pinball Wicked. It was and still is in Early Access, there are quite a few things wrong with the table but I did enjoy playing it. In all fairness making a pinball game that I like is not easy especially since PinballFX3 has raised the standard. They’ve made all other pinball games unplayable for me. A lot of issues I had with Pinball Wicked have been resolved and the bugs I encountered were all fixed. I hope this game keeps improving because I’d like to see more original pinball tables if not for me for the sake of pinball

Being a fan of pinball, I recently bought PW and I am glad I did!
The game runs silky smooth with all eye candy on at 1920x1080 on my i7 6700k, GTX 1080 and 32GB RAM (while this might sound obvious, “Zaccaria Pinball” sometimes manages to stutter slightly with this configuration…).
Among the first things I noticed is the excellent table design and the great game flow as a result of it.
The entire gaming experience just feels natural, the table is easy enough for newbies and challenging enough to satisfy seasoned pinball vets. The table design and the special effects/visuals are just gorgeous, there are many “little things” that show a incedible attention to detail.

Caromble!
Here’s a new original reinvention of the classic Arkanoid/Breakout game from The Netherlands. It has the paddle, blocks and multiple power ups with plenty of new features to make this more fun and challenging than its predecessors.
Powershot
At any time you can charge up your paddle with your lmb (left mouse button) for one power shot but the catch is you can’t move while charging up. When you release the lmb before you’re fully charged, the paddle’s energy level starts dropping. Once your paddle is fully charged you can let go of the lmb. With a powershot you can make the ball shoot through regular blocks and special blocks that can’t be destroyed with regular shots.

“So much more than a game…..CAROMBLE! IS ART !!!!”
For Christmas, 1973 I was fortunate enough to receive the very first console game system available in America….Odyssey by Magnavox. Though it advertised as having about a dozen games, in reality it was just a dozen forms of PONG with plastic overlays for your TV set to create slightly differing game effects. (Not a criticism…PONG was a great game!) Who would have imagined that over FORTY years later, the most exciting new game I’m playing currently is actually just an unbelievably amazing new version of the original master, PONG…..Caromble!.

Skully Pinball
This is a small pinball, 2 tables and it’s very cheap, so your expectation should be modified based on that. At the moment of this writing the game had all negative reviews which IMO are not fair.
Positives:
-
Nice physics
-
Easy on the eye, not too much lights and effect so you can play without
Negatives:
-
You can only see the high-score at the end of the game having it visible all the time would be much nicer
-
Following missions is difficult, but maybe I am not yet familiar enough with the game, and this is an issue for most of the pinball I played (real or software)

Developer/Publisher: RewindApp
Released: April 16, 2019
This is a very frustrating game to play. There are only two tables, “Day of Dead” and “Octopus Island.” These two tables are an asset swap from the Pinball Creator asset package. My understanding is that these were the 2 Demo tables from that package.
Although the graphics aren’t all that good, they are the best thing about this game. The music and sound effects are bare bones affairs. The music, in fact, gets on my nerves.

Zaccaria Pinball
I’m a proud owner of the Platinum Edition. As of this review I have all 82*** tables, but they are making and releasing new tables on a regular basis. Zaccaria was an actual pinball machine manufacturer in Italy from 1974-1990. At their peak they were the third largest manufacturer of pinball machines behind leaders Bally and Williams.
Their first efforts were EM (Electro-Mechanical) tables. 12 of those have been released so far (most recently “Topical,” originally manufactured in 1974). An excellent table by-the-way. This was offered as DLC just this month. Naturally Zaccaria transitioned to Solid State tables. There are 27 SS tables released so far. I say ‘so far’ because beginning in 1988 Zaccaria was reorganized and renamed Mr. Game. While only a few Zaccaria tables remain unreleased none of the 6 Mr. Game tables have been added. By-the-way, five tables were released from 1988-90 under the Tecnoplay name. Those remain undigitized as well.

What a great game. What. A great. Game.
TL;DR; - this game offers something for all pinball lovers, just spend some time to find out which machines you enjoy and pick just them. If you enjoy older machines, stick with the SS and EM machines. If you enjoy 90s flashy machines, check out the remakes. If you enjoy over the top flashy machines - deluxe is for you. Just spend some time with the free download to see what is to your taste, and only pay for the machines you like.
Now,
I own pretty much all the pinball games here on Steam, and I have to say that although I enjoy all the major players' offerings (Pinball Arcade, Pinball FX3, Pro Pinball Ultra) I have to admit that I like Zaccaria just a bit more than the others.

Space Block Buster
A friend let us played on his VR system & had lots of fun, time flew. Reminds me of playing racquetball but without knee aches. My family enjoyed hitting the blocks. Right now purchased it, we recommend it.

Breakout meets Racket Tennis 2019 for VR!
A highly polished VR game with great sound, graphics and game play. Both my 10 year old daughter and I love playing this game. It’s like a cross between a modern day Breakout and some sort of Racket Tennis. I love the power-ups but I think there are two de-buffs. I’m not sure if they are but the small ball and the baseball bat seem to make things harder. My favourite power-up is shooting gun. It really heaps blast away the blocks.
This game manages to keep things fresh and the Boss Battles are the best way of doing that. They are super challenging and help to mix up the play style. Highly recommended.

Marble Odyssey
Marble Odyssey is a rolling racer with a variety of obstacles and objectives. The faster you get through each level, the higher your score - but don’t miss out on the bonuses. 6/10
