PINOUT




With hundreds of different pinball simulations I've played so far I can say I finally found one that's unique as a computer game. Instead of recreating some original machine in its physicality and movements, PINOUT lets go of the simulation and becomes something more - a game that could last for tables on end. Combining the genres of endless runner and pinball simulation was an incredibly smart thing to do. You jump from one beautifully designed table to another until you've reached a checkpoint.

The retro is strong with this one- a Tron-like retro-futuristic envirnoments  accompanied by appropriate  retrowave/synthwave music is a treat for a retro gamer;  there is a ton of  classic powerups that reach new heights here (random, motion link, slow motion, time freeze etc ) , altered and distorted; all  bonus mini games are exquisite homages to 8-bit classics (a racing game,a blasteroid-type game, a horizontal  space shooter etc) with 8bit sounds and themes and no retrowave colouring, so that you're able to enjoy them the same way you did on pinball machines in the late 80s/early 90s.

If you've ever enjoyed any pinball game on any of your machines you've ever had, get PINOUT- you won't be disappointed.
