Played this at the UK Pinball show. I like the LCD display integrated in the backglass, and how it will take a picture of you with it's built in camera when you get a good score. Nice bright cabinet and vibrant playfield, it comes across as something fresh and new in the pinball world.
Now as for the gameplay, I didn't like how it played at all. The dynamics of the ball as it moved over the plastic playfield, and how the ball stopped dead in it's tracks when it hit the metal at the top of the outlanes left me cold. A shame, as this could have been a whole lot better.

An interesting game of opposites and contradictions with a very retro early 80's play-field layout.
The good: Quirky electronic sounds and brightly lit play-field. The game also benefits from a large LCD on the back panel records scores and records pictures of players who achieve high scores. The rules are nice and progressive as the more shots you make the more things you light on the play-field. There are no moving switch parts in the game, which registers shots magnetically (I think).
The bad: Very retro so will disappoint players that are used with modern machines, no speech. The LCD is under-used as it doesn't have much animation. There isn't much flow in the game other than the shots into either corner and the bottom ball guides seem positioned to disrupt the flow of the game.
Overall this is a game that because of its simple layout, bright colours and quirky sounds will appeal to families and casual players rather than serious pinheads. This is no bad thing as there may well be room for a basic game in the pinball market to encourage new players. Pin-heads are liable to be disappointed but there is enough there in terms of innovation and game-play to make it worth putting a few coins into the game. I hope they are successful and that they make another title a more exciting theme.
