Artur's Pinball

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

Is this Abandonware?

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 Video Pinball for the Atari VCS.

But it doesn't support controllers.

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 Pinball FX.

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 STILL not there is simply because the game has been abandoned by the developer.

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..

Although cheap, it seems like the flippers get a bit sticky? Rather frustrating otherwise it would be an easy suggest.

This is a great game for the most basic form of competing against your friends for the high score! I love this game!

No I am not biased (iykyk)

Imagine Pinball World from 1995 with no theme on any table created on a zero budget with the same music playing ad infinitum.

it's nice. I did not encounter any bugs.

Yes I recommend the game because I think it is a fantastic pinball game! However it needs work. 1 of the pinwheels moves into the wall and can capture the pinball, you can come to a complete stop in some areas, and the flippers sometimes freak out and are not functional. If that does not bother you then go for it because even with the little bumps in the road I really enjoyed this game and it felt very much like my experience on an old pinball machine I have played IRL.
TL:DR Good game has bugs, if you don't mind have a couple bugs the game is worth it.

It is fun and colorful and the sound is mellow and enjoyable,.

A true gem !

a good way to remember my Pinball times, excellent value for money.

Good game for the price. Makes you want to beat your record.

a very well produced game, with a lot of effect, that works very well

This is a nice prototype but it will take a lot more work to make it into a real game.

Fun little Pinball Game, decent for the price. I'm a sucker for any and all things pinball so I had to pick it up.


The Good:
-Unique Take on the formula
-Cheap Price
-Nice Presentation (Music, SFX & Graphics).
-Achievements

The Bad:
-No online Leaderboards.
-No In-Game instructions.
-Can't rebind the controls.
-No Menus at all, including settings. This means you can't adjust volume levels or video settings.
-Bug where the flippers sometimes get locked.
-No updates or any word at all from the Dev since release.

Not sure if its a feature or a bug but left flippers stick or just bend wrong way . annoying and game breaker for me .

Nice game...to me well worth the price.Easy to control with keyboard and no other adjustments I have found.
