[Blog] Pinball on Google Play

jaredmorgs · Jan 19, 2014

We all know there is some utter tripe on the Google Play store that claims to be "Pinball" (well at least, the app comes up in a "pinball" search).

With this in mind, I've decided to take on the (un)enviable task of reviewing each app on Google Play. The good. The bad. The ugly.

Come along for the ride, and discover if a game is Special, or if it is a Drain.

I can save you a little trouble here as I feel I have some expertise with this. I've already tried most, if not all of them.

With the exceptions of TPA, Zen, Revenge of the Rob-O-Bot, and hopefully soon Timeshock, the rest is all tripe.

Some more well intended than others but none the less fairly cr@p when being brutally honest.

I know this fact. In fact, I should probably put this as a byline on the blog. This is just for my pleasure, and for a bit if a laugh. Also, it should make me appreciate the apps that are doing it well. Perspective is everything.

Nice work, Jared. Looking forward to reading further entries as your quest continues.

For great justice, and driveway cheese for all!

http://pinballongoogleplay.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/pinball3dfree-by-aldime-games.html is the next one.

Drum trigger sounds for the mechanical noises is just a taste of the fail in this game.

Maybe review a good game (e.g. Momonga) next? Otherwise it might get rather depressing soon.

jaredmorgs · Jan 22, 2014

Yeah, I'm saving the diamonds in the rough. Because there aren't many...

DrainoBraino · Jan 22, 2014

I love these reviews, thanks! There sure are some junky pinball games out there. Keep em comin!

I got Momonga, but I really don't like it. Too slow and annoying. And I keep thinking, if I could just make this little rat RUN, I could easily beat all these levels. I mean, he can fly, but can't run?

Amusing to watch - nice work Jared. Maybe some of the Facebook whiners should go play these games instead!

Too bad it's only google play, you are missing out on the great iOS app Zaccaria, which is just superrrr.

Yeah - but we have Black Rose as compensation.

Yeah, I would love to see that come to Android.

I think we need a blog called "Aussie slang as explained by Jared".

What the heck is driveway cheese, Jared? It just doesn't sound good at all to me, but your use above of driveway cheese sounds like it's a good thing.

What's not to love about Jiggler, this game has everything a pinball table needs: a deep rule set.

Yea looks like a masterpiece. Can the ball trails be turned off, that kinda kills it for me.

shocked at your lack of enthusiasm Jared!

I for one laughed out loud when I watched that video. Utter genius. Kudos to the developer - brightened my evening up.... all but briefly.
