Описание
В игре используется реалистичная физика поведения жидкости и графика, которая задает тон. Liquid Pinball бросает вызов игрокам, чтобы победить вам необходимо будет пройти все 60 уровней и 5 сценариев различной степени сложности.
В то время как игра несет в названии слово "Pinball" она не имеет почти никакого отношения к хорошо известным игровым автоматам. Нет резиновых колец, подталкивающих механизмов и металлического шара. Вместо этого у вас есть некоторое количество жидкости на поле, которое заполнено различными металлическими преградами и препятствиями со специальными отверстиями для выхода и покраски.
Это может быть не очeвидно из описания, но выходы принимают только жидкость определенного цвета. Большую часть времени вашей задачей будет покраска жидкости в определенный цвет, разделение на несколько частей и конечно-же продвижение к выходу минуя черные дыры и другие различные препятствия. Все движение осуществляется наклонами игрового поля при помощи WASD клавиш или же "стрелок".

Liquid Pinball is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. Worse, it's broken. The game crashes to desktop immediately on launch on the latest builds of Windows 11. It's unethical for developers to sell broken products on Steam, but here we are. If this mobile app did work, you'd find it was a simple physics puzzle game where you tilt your iPhone around to make fluid flow through various little obstacle courses. That's all there is to it.
From a technical perspective, the mobile app didn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers.
Because this is a mobile app, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the iPhones that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate handicaps and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was an afterthought for the iPhone developers who are to blame for this. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for mobile phones forces upon a game. Once more, mobile devs have made gaming worse for everyone. I didn't spend thousands on building a gaming rig just so I could pretend it's an iPhone.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. That, and, you know, the game is broken and can't be played on modern PCs.
You don't have to take my word about how bad the game is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. Liquid Pinball has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for getting through a level without changing the colour of your liquid, and only around 7 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this only appears around the same time that trading cards were applied to the game... so this is just card idlers getting their cards and moving on. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a few players every week running up the game (probably through an idling tool because the game itself does not launch properly) and idling it for cards, then deleting it. Because how on earth would these people be "playing" the game when it's broken? Yet the numbers are there, along with the Steam cards. You can buy this game when on sale for cheaper than the value of the sale of the cards, too.
Unethically, the developers have left this on the Steam store in an unplayable and broken state. This is harmful to Steam and to gamers, because it takes a share of the marketing space and visibility away from other games. It's polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuine games and for genuine indie developers who put months or years into making proper games find an audience.
Once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to scam PC gamers. On Steam, this is $1 USD, on app stores, it's free. Mobile devs must learn PC gamers are not here to be gouged, and can't be expected to pay a premium for a free mobile game just because it's been lazily dumped on Steam. This is unacceptable disrespect for PC gamers. Because this can be played free elsewhere, and because of the other defects, it's impossible to recommend. Who do they think we are?
god
buggy and forgotten it seems.
Jogo horroroso, chega a doer jogar isso aqui. Só comprei pra farmar carta pq é barato
Broken achievements = Negative review
(Developers didn't bother so why shoul I)
Multiple achievements in this game are glitched, there is no options/settings button, and the sensitivity is way too high, making the water incredibly difficult to control.
Very strange game, I have noticed that levels weren't tested as such. I'm sorry today, it isnt worth the UK Price 79P. Its nice but very odd.
This isn't pinball. This is just a bad version of one of those water toys. What is worse is that it has an unwanted system that reminds me of a mobile game. Just Don't Get This Game.
Innovative,
Balancing, splitting, mixing fluid physics to its endpoint on a tilting board.
Clock is ticking, Obstructions are disturbing.
Hard,
with some Patience, dexterous fingers, still too hard as
Three star and Clock rules are extremely Strict.
Tedious,
pressing ' Restart ' with mouse, and quickly moving to keyboard controls.
Broken Achievement for certain Stage levels,
personal knowledge to edit and code game files, may help.
Playable,
only if you can stand the frustration,
would have been more pleasant if the puzzles isn't such a rush.
Neutral recommendation for the
lack of a proper ' R ' button to quick restart for such ' repeat death ' games and not addressed issues on achievements.
OK pinball fans, there's one thing you need to know about this game before making a purchase decision. This game has nothing to do with pinball. It's a puzzle game, and one I couldn't get the hang of. I made it as far as level 4. Quite frankly I don't wish to play this game long enough to make it to level 5.
The object of this game is to tilt (oh, a pinball term) the puzzle area in order to get the liquid to flow over the correct dyes and then flowing to the correct drains, while being timed. Your controls are the arrow keys on your keyboard. There's music.
I love pinball. I like puzzle games. I like music. I DON'T like this poser calling itself pinball.
6/10
Puzzle game with tilting-ball type mechanices, but this time with a fluid instead of a ball. The first few levels were great and lead you in nicely, but I've got stuck at level 7 out of 60 levels, and I'm not sure if I will persevere or leave it there. A qualified thumbs up.
Just say no.
Each color has to go into it's specific place. If you have a blue and a red you need to divide your water into two parts and make half red, and half blue then take it to its designated spot. The catch is though it has to be very close to 50/50, if the two waters blend it's an automatic fail, the water can roll off the edge, and it's only possible to control both piles at the same time. If you move one section of water left, the other goes with it. You have to do all of these things all the while dodging black holes, razer blades, and obsticles that simply want to push the water around. It's really really hard. I only played the first 20 levels or so out of 60 and I doubt I'll ever finish it up, but for 50 cents it was a solid thirty minutes of fun, and I can't ask for much more.
buggy and forgotten it seems.
Could've been a good game had it been playtested and if it worked properly. It wasn't and doesn't, though, so stay away.
I cannot recommend a game that is not complete. Upon reaching a certain level in the game, the game crashes. This has happened to many users according to the discussion page. I have sent multiple emails to the developer over the past few months in an attempt to correct this issue, with no response. Save yourself the money.
ABSOLUTELY NOT - Broken in so many ways
I initially (REPEAT - INITIALLY) found this game to be really challenging, fun, and sorta ....... 'My kind of game' !!!
Well, that didn't last long. A couple of levels actually CRASH the game when selected (For ALL players - not just me) - known bug. Add to that the fact that the Achievements are OH, SO BROKEN. And YES, that IS a BIG DEAL. Too bad, too. It was a good concept, but pitifully implemented.
With so much broken, any Positive Reviews strike me as really, really fishy!!! At this point, Liquid Pinball is an ABANDONWARE game & just another steaming pile of poop dumped on the Steam Store by a Dev that is nowhere in sight. It is a pathetic mobile port that didn't make the transition to PC. Game specs claim full controller support, but it's really buggy with X360 Controller - shocking, I know - xD. I wouldn't touch this again if it was a Free to Play game, and seriously, how is it NOT?!
Please don't take my word for it - instead, read honest Neg reviews & go to the discussion threads for LP & see for yourself - I learned too late. Hope this helped some of you - Cheers
k
Good concept for a game poorly implemented
Upon reaching Level 7 you realize this game was never play tested.
