It’s not every day you find a good pinball game and being in a pinball craze lately, I’ve wanted to find an app that would give me the feeling of an actual machine, without me wasting a ton of quarters. War Pinball HD was my first choice, as it seemed the one to have the most realistic graphics. Turns out, there was more to than just a fun pinball game on my Android.

There are 3 tables you can choose from, all based on 3 different war movies; Platoon, Missing In Action (with a Chuck Norris model and everything) and Navy Seals. Each board has its own style, some with multiple flippers, some with just the classic two. They all have their own goals and special bonus points and each takes some time to master. They feature music and sound effects from the movies themselves, which if you’ve seen any of them, adds to the fun.

The game plays smoothly and the more you play, the more you’ll get a feel for each board. The Platoon board seems to be the most difficult; Navy Seals is easy to get a high score on and Missing in Action is somewhere in between.

The only downfall is that there does seem to be a split second lag when tapping the screen to flip your flippers; it doesn’t change no matter how well my phone was running, which meant I had to compensate for it to hit the ball exactly where I wanted. Also, it is a bit gimmicky, linking you to the Amazon.com pages of the movies so you can buy the DVDs. Easily avoidable, but still kind of off putting.

Still, overall, it’s the most fun pinball game I’ve experienced on a smart phone and I find myself going back to it on commutes and even just sitting at home. for $1.99, it’s totally worth the purchase.

070687_5Among iPhone gamer pinball fans, it seems like debate of which of the pinball series is the best on the platform is as hotly contested as Star Wars nerds arguing over which is the best movie in the original trilogy. I’m partial to Gameprom’s pinball games, as they all load very quickly, seem to have realistic pinball physics, come packed with online leaderboards, and have camera options to either follow the pinball or stay locked and display the entire table.

Wild West Pinball [Free] was released first, followed by The Deep Pinball [Free] and as of a few days ago, Jungle Style Pinball [99¢] is the latest in Gameprom’s pinball lineup. Normally both 99¢, Wild West and The Deep both went free to promote the launch of Jungle Style. On top of that, the previous two games also were recently updated to “Christmas Editions” which just amount to each of the tables having their art slightly modified to be more festive.

Jungle Style Pinball takes the same gameplay and adds a new jungle themed pinball table. Much like The Deep was an improvement on the table found in Wild West, Jungle Style takes this even farther with even more things to hit and hidden areas to boost your score.

The developer released the following gameplay trailer:

I highly recommend downloading The Deep Pinball and Wild West Pinball while they’re free. If you enjoy either of those games, you should like Jungle Style Pinball just as much if not even more.

photo 4In what must have been an App Store approval quirk, Illusion Labs has released updates to both Labyrinth and Labyrinth Lite which offers customers an early peek at the gameplay from Labyrinth 2.

The 1.7.0 version update includes the following features:

  • Improved performance
  • User interface improvements
  • Improved in-game graphics
  • Sound system improvements
  • Stability improvements
  • 5 Labyrinth 2 levels

Yep, play some of the new levels, complete with the new additional obstacles from within the original version. Labyrinth 2 has not yet appeared in the App Store, though we assume that it will appear at any moment. In the meanwhile, give the new levels a spin — though they do feel a bit out of place in the old versions of the game, and you miss out on the more gradual introduction of elements that is found in Labyrinth 2.
