Some tables feature 3D animated characters on the edges of the tables that react to your play and sometimes leap into action while you're trying to complete a mission sequence. You'll see numbers indicating your score float out of the bumpers, targets, and lanes as you hit them, much in the same way as you'd see in an RPG or fighting game each time you land an attack. While the physics is strictly real-world, the game also takes advantage of the fact that it's a video game. You can even give the table a nudge in different directions, to try to get the ball to drop in the lane you want it to or to make a desperation save when the ball is making a high speed beeline for the gap between the bottom flippers. The ball is not following pre-programmed tracks across the table, instead giving itself over to the laws of physics in the same way a real ball would. The ball feels like it actually has weight as you send it back up the table with the flippers, and every ricochet and bounce looks perfectly accurate.

New tables are released several times a year, so you'll always have a variety of new tables to choose from, and any table can be demoed before purchase. However, the table designs in the game are all pretty good and include licensed tables from properties like Star Wars, Marvel, and Fox Animation. The tables are all original designs for the game so don't expect any licensed classics from the golden age of the silver ball. The game is free and comes with a single table, Sorcerer's Lair, with other tables available for purchase, primarily in themed packages that include two to four tables each. ![]() If you haven't played a pinball game from Zen Studios before, it's essentially a pinball arcade portal. ![]()
