Malzbie's Pinball Collection Reviews

great pinball sim

Fun pinball that keeps you coming back.

Well, these are not the super-realistic looking mind-blowing pinball tables one can play in Pinball Arcade, or Pinball FX 3. BUT (and this is a big "but") the passion with which the various pinball tables have been designed can be felt. There are so many nice ideas implemented, starting from the themes, like Playground, or The Garden, and the playability, and replayability is superb. And this is it which make me play Malzbie's Pinball Collection again and again. They are cute, they are creative, they are easy to play, but hard to master. No unnecessary fancy stuff. Considering the low price, it's a must buy for every pinball collector (like me).

I really like this Pinball title. It may not have tons of tables like some others but that is fine because these tables are fun to play. I have it on my virtual pinball cabinet and love it.

This is one dude making a pinball game, priced less than what it would cost to play 3 games in real life per table.. I'd say it's worth it if you're fed up with TPA/FX/Zaccaria

Not quite the best out there, but gave all the available tables a try and enjoyed them all at first glance. I did notice the flipper lag as mentioned in other reviews, so I just accounted for that when playing this game. I also managed to encounter a couple of bugs and interesting things happen during my first playthrough on Twitch, namely a stuck drop target in Playground that never fixed itself. For a one-person developer working on this game, I'd understand -- it's not easy working on a game all by yourself and expect to fix ALL the bugs right off the bat. I'm duly impressed.

"Malzbie's Pinball Collection" is a decent pinball game featuring generically themed tables. GAMEPLAY Decent, although I must admit that when I first started playing this game there was considerable flipper lag, which was irratating considering how fast the ball moves. However, when I reported this problem to the developer it was quickly tweaked and so now there is no flipper lag on my system. There are 10 tables to this game, although as of when this review was posted only 6 had been released to date. The devloper releases new tables promptly, so I expect the remaining 4 to be released one at a time over the next few months. UI (User Interface) Fairly straight forward. Click on Play Table to select which table you wish to play. Options allows you to customize your settings for Sound, Graphics, and to select a Language. Control gives you the choice of using a keyboard or game pad. Each key/button is remapable. Achievements calls up the Achievements Grid. LEADERBOARDS AND HIGH SCORES Each table displays the top 5 scores on Steam. If your score ranks below the 5th one it will be listed below the 5th place score with your score's position within' the ranking. Each score displayed includes the ranking, username. and score. ACHIEVEMENTS Each table has 5 possible Achievements to unlock/earn. You can see which Achievements that you've earned displayed on a grid. Each of the 10 tables has its own column, with icons for each Achievement earned in its own row. It's really easy to see your Achievements at a glance. TABLES (In Release Order) *Released* Time To Fight Back Carnival The Garden The Sheriff Ghost House Mud-Race *Future Table Releases* Playground Labyrinth Time Pilot Ghouls COST Very reasonable. At the time of this review posting the base game and the first table (Time To Fight Back) were FREE. The next 5 tables were available as DLC. .99 cents per table EXCEPT the most recently released table, 'Mud-Race,' which is still $1.99 (due to Steam pricing guidelines).
