Artur's Pinball

[h2]Is this Abandonware?[/h2] This is an interesting take on pinball. It's not a 3D representation of a real pinball table, like most popular pinball games these days. It's a 2D overhead view, and the "table" is not confined to a single screen. You scroll around following the ball. More than anything, it reminds me of the old [b]Video Pinball[/b] for the Atari VCS. [h1]But it doesn't support controllers.[/h1] You have to play using the keyboard. That's a fatal shortcoming and the main reason that I cannot recommend this game. As it is, it's not on my regular play rotation. Every once in a while I'll see it on the library screen in Steam and play a game or two to remind myself why I don't play it more often. It usually doesn't take me long to decide I've had enough for the moment and go back to something like [b]Pinball FX[/b]. Using the keyboard is simply not a comfortable way for me to play a game like this. I need to be able to lean back on the couch with a controller. Controller support isn't really all that difficult to program, so even though it's been less than 2 years since the game appeared on Steam, I have to wonder if maybe the reason it's [b]STILL[/b] not t…

Might be worth two quarters but I'm gonna pull my hair out if I play anymore of this.

Simple, endless fun. Absolutely got my moneys worth - it's pinball alright.

Nice simple gameplay but poorly executed with janky physics and awkward nudging.

I got this game for 49 cents. It's a game I can come back to any time. I've not found many pinball games on Steam that scratch that itch. This one does. It's worth the price. I did have to restart once because the ball got completely stuck. I'd love to have the option of a ball bounce after a minute or so. It's a rare bug, but it does exist. Will give this a 4/5 only because of that. Even as it is now, I'll play this with my morning coffee.

adicted play. and good one for killing time..
