Fantastic Pinball Thrills

First of all this game is not meant to compete with the likes of the well known pinball games on here with licensed tables and super fancy graphics. It's meant to give you a quick, fun and accurate pinball experience when you want to without all the bloat. I played all the tables briefly and there are some cool little animations on the pinball tables and also a simplified score board that just gives you the score and shows you objectives if you trigger a special event in game. The flipper controls are responsive, and it has full XBOX One controller support with everything you need to enjoy the game. Only thing I feel sometimes is that maybe the ball speed could be a little bit faster on the table. Not sure if others have noticed but it certainly picked my interest in that observation. A must buy to add to your Steam collection for an alternative to well known pinball titles.

Fun pinball with a nice variety of tables. I am at a complete loss to explain all the hateful comments and ratings. Some are absurd. One person said you can't control the speed of the ball at launch. So what? If that's a deal-killer for you, ask for a refund and only buy tables which offer this feature. Don't write a nasty review. I love pinball and own almost every table available on Steam. I set up a game room in my home with a 55 inch UHD TV and X-Box controller. There are many tables "better" than these, which also cost more. There are tables not as good which cost more. If you buy something and don't like it just drop the drama, get a refund and move on. To quote Bart Simpson: "Don't have a cow, man."

Full disclosure: I got the Triple Pack with this and the two other titles on the Winter Sale for $2.99 USD. And I have no idea what all the bad reviews are about. This is pinball, like machines were back in the 80s, no glitz or glamour, just something basic to bet your quarters against while you waited for pizza or hung out in the arcade. Here you get six tables in various themes, all with ramps and chutes, some with lower tables to earn multiballs on. You can make the trick shots and ramps, it just takes time, practice and a bit of luck. I thought the table designs were pretty cool in a retro sort of way, and honestly I had a lot of fun with the tables. They play like actual tables did, and sound like them too. This was as good as it got and honestly fancier than some tables back in the 80s. I'd certainly recommend this set on sale, in the bundle or full price if you want six new tables now.

Developed by Fancy Bytes and Reactor and published by United Independent Entertainment, Fantastic Pinball Thrills delivers a traditional arcade pinball experience that prioritizes accessible gameplay and score chasing over complex mechanics. It embraces the familiar formula that has made digital pinball enjoyable for decades, inviting players to master carefully designed tables through skill, timing, and precision. Rather than relying on elaborate progression systems or cinematic presentation, the game focuses on recreating the excitement of classic pinball machines in a digital format that is easy to jump into while still offering enough challenge to keep players returning for better performances. One of the game's strongest qualities is its collection of six distinct pinball tables, each built around a unique theme including medieval castles, outer space, high-speed racing, aviation, Oktoberfest celebrations, and fast-paced action. These environments are more than simple visual reskins, as each table features its own arrangement of ramps, bumpers, lanes, and objectives that influence how players approach scoring opportunities. Learning the flow of every table becomes an enjoyabl…

I cannot find the old Microsoft pinball game that came included on old computers. This is pretty close. I turn off the music and go at it. Lots of time wasting fun. Most games played with the airplane mode.

I am having a great time playing these tables. I have no issues with graphics or physics of the game.
