DEMON’S TILT
The Developer has proved that the impossible can be achieved; to actually refine an already perfect game and make it even better with every subsequent update. Pinball goes back decades and the game that Demon’s Tilt is based on is actually around almost thirty years old. The Pc Engine hosted some amazing shooters (including it’s almost arcade perfect version of R-Type), Gunhed and the aforementioned Devil Crash, which was the best occult themed pinball game ever created and nothing could ever come close UNTIL Demon’s Tilt emerged nearly three decades on the heels of Devil Crash. Three decades is a very long time to wait for a worthy successor and surprisingly, nobody tried to replicate or improve on Devil Crash until now…first enter the developer of Demon’s Tilt and later the publisher who came on board and the game went from being pretty special to nigh-on-perfect with scaling, rotation, tons of large hand drawn sprites, shmup elements and the occult. Wow, this is like winning the lottery and every time you play this utterly stunning pinball game you are constantly rewarded with more discoveries and higher scores. The table is good stretching up three screens high and the mood is dark but when things liven up it does get hectic and very colourful. The music is straight out of a Megadrive/Genesis but the core game remains true to the Devil Crash formula. Occult pinball just got better and gets better with every update, the developer has to be seriously applauded for making the impossible happen, can you get better than perfect? He has proved that you can with a resounding YES. Every update of Demon’s Tilt either tweaks or adds something new. And we haven’t even left EA yet. For the price, you get the best pinball on Steam and for your time, you get happy memories created in seriously wanting to beat your high score again and again. Going retro with Occult Pinball with hints of Saturn, Neo Geo, and Playstation thrown in. The epitome of the perfect video pinball game 100/100 and it just keeps on getting better.

DEMON’S TILT
DEMON’S TILT is a retro-stylized pinball on a huge 3 sections table. I’ve played with Xbox controller and I believe it’s much more comfortable than keyboard for this game.
I can say only positive things about DEMON’S TILT:
-
Gameplay is very addictive and the game is a great fun for short playsessions
-
Cool music/sound effects
-
Game looks really good + there’s plenty of settings to adjust visuals/colours
-
I’m not super impressed by bosses in a current state, but the whole table in general is absolutely awesome.

Sonic Spinball™
Sonic Spinball is a spin-off of Sonic the Hedgehog games that combines Sonic gameplay with pinball genre. Actually, the most full name of the game that I found was Sonic The Hedgehog Spinball: Robotnik’s Pinball Revenge, haha. It was developed by Sega Techincal Institute, division of Sega of America I believe, that also outsourced most of game’s programming to Polygames. It was made as something to fill space between the second and the third Sonic main games. Came out in the end of 1993 as part of the event “Sonic Mania”, which also had Sonic Chaos and Sonic CD coming out at the same time. 8 Megabit ROM.

Creature in the Well
Panels;
Oozing with a mossy green, in the silhouette of an old machine, with mysterious songs ringing through hollow halls, and of beady eyes watching you from afar.
Then succumb - as does every engineer, into the never-ending trail of gears… of this well-oiled, unpreserved machine, the perfect provocation for a beast to kill.
But at its core, the beast remains, far too proud and of unearthly fame, and as the town Mirage has soon found out, this a storm that may never come to pass.
And so it goes, for the Creature in the Well, this the story of its ageless schemes and of our righteous revenge…

I love pinball, and I think it’s an underutilised game mechanism.
This game, as you’ll have gathered, uses this pinball mechanism, and brings it to a hack-and-slash-ish experience. You’ll probably die a lot, but that’s fine; shortcuts mean that getting back to your location usually takes 15 seconds or so.
Every “dungeon” focuses on particular mechanisms, and each is more gorgeous than the last. This game is a serious looker.
I think the first 70% of the game took me 8 hours, and the last 30% took me 1 hour. Two reasons for this:

So far the level design is pretty good (reached the fan trampoline) The gameplay is original, it looks like stick with it, but better. And yeah, will definitivly try to finish this one

Pinball
I have played all the 11 tables and I must say that this is a good pinball game. The tables are very creative and different one from another.
Do you remember the 3D Ultra Pinball series from Sierra? The tables have these kind of creativity and fun.
The graphics are ok, not ugly, not remarkably beautiful.
I have found bugs on one table, “Pirate Fantasy” and reported. Aside this, the game runs smoothy.
For the price, number of tables and creativity I highly recommend it.

Stay far away from this game and dev
This game is an asset flip and the dev even had the audacity to ban me from the community hub because i did the community a service and made the information available for all to see via links i posted.
So what grounds did he ban me on ?
“You have been permanently banned from the pinball Hub.
You were banned by a pinball developer.
Reason: “Posting spam””
First ban i ever had on steam or any where else on the web.
Besides of that he completely wiped away all comment from everyone else at that time so i can only wonder how many other people in those posts got banned as well.

Rebound Raver
There are currently 5 Stages each with a specific design and each Stage has 10 levels to complete. There are also lots of PinBall features.such as flippers, popup targets and bumpers.
The players paddle called a Rebounder also has flippers but these can be kept in position by keeping the left or right mouse button pressed. This is good to give a slightly different bounce angle on the ball when required.
The light FX on the borders and the lazers in the corners all react to the music that is playing, which makes the music feel more immersive and keeps with the atmosphere of the game.

Wow what a great arcade game with great music. I love all the elements; the Arknoid/Breakout bat and ball game with power ups and the pinball elements with flippers, bumpers and buttons you have to hit to unlock sections of the level. Love the banging music that goes with this game. If I had to make any complaints it would be the bloom effects at the bottom of the screen sometimes make it hard to focus on the paddle; other than that I would love more music and levels (level editor perhaps to much to ask for)

Super Steampunk Pinball 2D
SSP2D is a simple but fun pinball game. It contains a single main table and is focused around the bonus round, AKA the Infinite Tower of Peril. In the bonus round your objective is to climb as high as possible while a timer ticks down mercilessly. The tower is generated randomly each time you enter it. The main table provides no higher goal than reaching the bonus round, and the overall goal is getting a good score. Stickers are awarded for the bonus round, so collecting them all can get a bit grindy.

I have quite a few different pinball programs on Steam, as well as a few outside of Steam, and this is the game I start with every time.
Why?
Its super easy to play. No complicated rules to learn, just start shooting. No fancy 3d graphics (thus the title), which makes it easy to handle on very moderate hardware (such as my aging laptop.)
The developer is very active, squashing any bugs that show up, listiening to players comments and making adjustments according to the comments.
Contests. These are neat. At this time, the winner gets to select a skin for the ball in play, and its added to the game with a password. The password can (and usually is) passed out in the discussions for all to use.

Hyperspace Pinball
Meant to post this a while back, but steam was being cranky and didn’t let me so here goes again:
Hyperspace Pinball is awesome, I had a great time with it. I love pinball and innovative games, and this is both.
It’s obviously not a sim and it’s faster than normal pinball, but the physics are good and my real life skills translated well.
There are several modes and leaderboards, but the campaign mode is the meat of the game. There you destroy enemies until you open a timed portal to the next level, advancing until you reach the final boss.

Hyperspace Pinball is a quasi-Pinball simulator. It’s not completely faithful as it has random video game elements floating around on the screen.
Overall this was almost a good attempt at making a pinball game. While the graphics settings are rudimentary, they’re there, with support for 4K and even FSAA. The problem is more in the gameplay itself. Pinball sims rely on two main areas to succeed. Firstly, a good, robust physics system which accurately represents a real world table. Hyperspace doesn’t have that… the ball is janky and too light, and jitters when you hold it with the flippers. It feels wrong. Secondly, Pinball games need to accurately represent pinball tables. The tables in Hyperspace are very spartan and boring, relying on video game sprites to add interest. But these work against the game, as the tables aren’t predictable, the ball bounces off them randomly, removing the element of skill from the game and frustrating the player.

jetPIN
EDIT: After playing nearly one hour, and making almost zero progress, I have to say I would not recommend this game in its current form, except to elite players. This is very disappointing, and I hope my review shows how much I wanted to like this game. But when it’s often not possible to see both the ball off the flipper and the target at the same time, it’s quite difficult to gauge shots. And gauging shots is critical in jetPIN, due to the time element involved. (An option to zoom in and out might help greatly.) The great probability to lose all progress in an instant makes this the most frustrating PC pinball I’ve yet played, and I say this as an original moderator of one of Steam’s more popular pinball titles. (Somewhat the feeling of climbing a mountain in a bucket using only a hammer, if you know what I mean.)

this is like a pinball game made by someone who has played very little pinball themselves. i really really don’t recommend this one.
