Zaccaria Pinball

Love this game and bought pretty much everything on mobile and on Steam (PC version)... Still the Android version could get some refinements, servers are down (no ranking), campaign plunger UI value shows tons of 0 making other values impossible to read, UI options is sometimes very small for no reason, no gyro to control camera angle, etc... For a game selling for around 60€ of tables, updating it and fixing bugs should be a must!!!

This is an authentic pinball experience. It emulates completely mechanical pinball tables as they were built back in the day. Of course you can buy packs and get rid of ads, but, in this game, I'm glad they're there. Back when we played pinball in the arcades, each game started by dropping a quarter in the machine. The time spent watching ads is like a quarter. You want to get much out of that "time quarter" as you can. Extra balls, longer play time etc. It really is authentic.

This is an excellent Pinball game. The tables are worth the price and there are many of them, including remakes and new deluxe tables. The latest version which I'm using at the time of writing this review (version 4.0.2) has this particular bug: not being able to save progress and game settings when exiting the game. My workaround is to use the recent apps button and then go back to the game again, which for some reason triggered the save progress function (including game settings)

This is better as a way to demo games in the PC version than a way to experience them at their best. Most everything is on 1-ball free play which is great, and the gameplay is as solid as ever - Zaccaria has the best selection of virtual EM games and the configuration options are surpassed only by DIY tools like Visual Pinball. But there are performance problems. The deluxe tables are clearly not optimized for mobile and some of them don't perform well even if every setting is turned down.

Glad to see this back. Looks and sounds great on my device. Make sure to take advantage of the options so you can tweak the game to suit your device. My phone only as 2GB of RAM, initially there was a little latency but adjusted physics & graphics to suit & now plays amazing. All table packs at bargain prices compared to Williams & TPA. An essential addition to your digital pinball collection. Good, honest pinball.

This is indeed of the best pinball games out there. You get great recreations of Zaccaria's older EM and Solid State tables from the 70's and 80's, plus a section of additional imaginative remakes of some odd those tables as if they were more modern. You can play these tables for free by watching ads or pay to play them without ads. Loads of customization options as well like environment changes and lighting. My previous purchases from before the app was updated has carried over as well.

Absolutely gorgeous pinball! These are the most realistic graphics for Android pinball available. The recreations are older pinball tables which are much different for fans of Williams/zen and Stern pinball apps. They did make deluxe and remake versions of the old machines, some of which come off a little silly, but are still fun! My favorite part of this app is that it is so customizable. Gamepad, keyboard, or touchscreen can all be used. Graphics also fully adjustable to old or new devices.

I'd give more than 4 and less than 5 stars if that was possible. My favorite retro simulated pinball. Even though there are quests and leaderboards, I can ignore them an simply play without distraction. I love having access to the physics and other details and I'm especially grateful not to have to fart around with make-believe tickets and tokens, and not to be required to do any other non-pinball activity in order to access the good stuff.

game is great, BUT.... graphics and physics are easily the best of any virtual pinball available. however... the pricing scheme is a bit of a ripoff and the servers have been down for over a year. I paid money for these tables and a lot of the functionality is missing due to the servers never being online. such a shame that a game that's this good needlessly hobles itself with odd exorbitant pricing and broken features.

The largest assortment of pinball tables app and also free with ads if you like. The amount of customization from what room you are in, to what furniture is in it, to a thunderstorm where only the lights of the pinball table can be seen with flashes of lightning, to how the games are played are just astounding! Retro, new and everything in between. Most people may not of played any of these due to it was manufactured and distributed in Europe, but we were missing out! Some really great pinball!

I've been testing pinball apps on my phone before I decided which to use on my android cabinet I'm going to build and so far this is my number one. The options you have to customise the realism of the tables is fantastic. Also there is a huge range of table you can play for free. Of course there are option to pay for extras but the free version is great also. physics are also the best I've tested so far. So all in all a good app for which I think will be great on a virtual pinball cabinet.

extremely well done pinball sim of old scool and remastered pinball machiness, even the sounds are simulated as they were back in the day. works with touchscreen,gamepad,keyboard and mouse. simply incredible! amazing graphics, i cannot recommend this enough, well worth investment to buy some or a pack of pinball machines from the store.

I would love to give this a 5 star review. But after downloading an almost 800mb app, you can not even play it offline. The one ball limit I have no issue with for free play nor the other quirks. The company has to make it an incentive to buy after all. But not even being able to play it at all offline and having to sacrifice quite a few other less mb demanding apps for this, it's a real bummer and a waste of time. Like a tease. ^^!

Can't carry progress onto a new device! Zaccaria tables are mostly good, de/remakes vary wildly in quality, and Magic Pixel tables are not my thing. Physics are great in arcade and simulation modes. Options are amazing but placement is inconsistent.

Edit: bug: ball got shot/stuck in a reward lock with no new ball, halting the game. The deluxe Tables are an absolute treat but how do i switch accounts? I can't seem to choose which google account to log in as and my purchases are gone because it chose to log in to a different account.

I need help with the video ad play option. I choose a free play table, select a play with video ads option, and nothing happens. I can only ever play a one ball classic game. Real shame as this looks to be an excellent retro pinball app.

The game itself is outstandingly realistic, so far. But it doesn't remember your purchases on another device, although it's the same email account on both devices. So on EVERY new device you're supposed to do the same purchases again. And so, if you make a factory data reset: purchase again... No, sorry. Not with me. I'd download this game on all my devices - but not under these circumstances.

I can't fit my praise into the character limit because I'm a monster. This game is exactly what you want in a mobile game, and other companies should take note. Totally free play options WITHOUT ads, or you can watch ads to play a full round of pinball, or pay a modest price to play without limits. No in game currency, micro transaction, forced ad BS. Even if you don't care for pinball, the entire retro pack is only two bucks and worth it just to check it out!

The gameplay is horrendous. The ball physics have one purpose only and it's to drain. You can't plan shots because the ball doesn't behave how you expect. Overall a terrible experience.

Love it as a pinball geek. Ive collected, so far, all good pinball apps and this is my favorite so far. Very creative and it keeps gamplay interesting. Didnt know pinball could get more interesting! Giving 4 stars, tho,because issues with Story Mode and I dont understand the 1 free play thing. Would gladly give 5 stars if this was fixed. Keep up the fabulous work!!!

The newest update seems to have fixed long load times on my dragon max 10. Still cannot run the deluxe tables. I have another tablet Amazon fire hd 10 and that runs everything perfectly. Everything on medium settings. Those are the default settings. I also have an fire hd 8 the 2020 version. So if you have a fire hd 8 or 10 it should run all the tables fairly well.

FYI: There is no "free" game play in this app. You have to at least watch an ad between each game play, even when going from one game to the next on the same table. So it's more of a PINBALL TABLE PREVIEW APP than a pinball app. But I'm giving it 4 stars cuz the tables are really authentic and the ads, at least, are about games on Google Play that u might like. But I will be uninstalling, sorry to say.

The reason for the low stats is strictly because of the retro tables. I paid money to do nothing more than serve the ball. Each one is designed for you to lose and lose fast. I had a game where I didn't even get a chance to use the flippers because of how the table was designed. I feel completely ripped off

EDIT; 2020-05-10 update: My review stands BUT, the four new "Deluxe Tables" are only marginally playable on my device, even at the lowest graphic settings. Game slows, then speeds up. Plays other tables at highest graphic settings fine. PREVIOUS review: Played on Galaxy Tab S2 extensively. No glitches, bugs or shutdowns. As I'm writing this, the reviews average 3.8 -- which shows you that the user review system simply doesn't work. Many 1-star reviews of the "too hard, me no like" type drag down the score. This app is *absurdly* good, easily the best pinball game available for an android tablet. Huge library of tables, lots of different modes, so many ways to play each one. *Everything* is customizable -- the background sounds, the decoration of the room you're playing in, the smudges on the glass - the dust in the air. Fan-forking-tastic. You can play for free with ads that do NOT interrupt the game nor appear while playing. Majority of the games are simulations of actual tables that were in production. Yes, some are hard, eh, "ball eaters" -- but some pinball games were built like that. I still play Pinball Arcade whose tables have greater variety, but I'd give this collection the edge on presentation and graphics -- and the fact that you have access to all but the retro tables free -- just watch an ad for 20-30 seconds. Read the developers description -- it's better than they promise.

This is the first pinball game for Android to really get it right. It's a true pinball experience with real life physics and lighting (pinball tables should be unevenly lit), and lots of options/graphic settings/controls, etc. My only wish is that they add more deluxe tables and get in on that sweet sweet licensed IP action with themed tables.

This game sets the bar for Android pinball - and for Play Store apps in general. It's beautifully crafted, well executed, and the payment model is reasonable and fair. If your device can handle it, graphics reach the photorealism of Charles Bell. If not, get your tweezers. That's how finely you can tweak to that sweet spot of graphics and performance. Same for physics: if you don't think you have a real N-scale pinball machine in your hand, tweak it till you do. That's all they'll let me say

Stopped working suddenly. It won't open. Just closes on start. Doesn't even make it to the splash page. Otherwise, a fantastic pinball game. Great physics and control. Especially love the sounds.

I've played real tables since the late-60's. Zaccaria pinball tables were around -- but a rarity in the US. I've played digital pinball since the early-2000's. TPA, Zen, Pro Pinball (excellent), Zen Williams on multiple platforms. Increasingly, I turn to the Zaccaria solid state (also a few EM) tables for my digital pinball fix. Magic Pixel simply nailed it. The level of control borders on ridiculous. I'm playing on an Android TV Box using a 50" LG HD flat screen over HDMI and a Bluetooth controller. Using the graphics settings I was able to tweak the many, many settings (I mean really, what pinball app lets you adjust raytracing?) to achieve just the right balance between performance and realism. The app is rock solid and gives you tons of post-game stats and leaderboard. You van even adjust the weather -- I sometimes play during a lightning storm, which is neat. Unlike Zen/Williams they don't charge extra for "pro physics" (which Zaccaria calls "simulation mode"). Like any pinball manufacturer -- the tables are a mixed bag. There are many, many, many offerings, but I stick with the SS and EM tables. Zaccaria eschewed toys and gimmicks in their table designs, but many of their tables are works of art with innovative playfields and straightforward rulesets. Give me drop targets, spinners, and pop bumpers any day over 1000 "modes", complicated rulesets, ramps, and bash toys. My favorite SS tables are Time Machine, Robot, Mexico 86, Farfalla, Blackbelt,, Hot Wheels, Shoot the Rapids, and Locomotion. Also, they are very fair in allowing you to sample tables prior to purchasing. Their prices for all SS and EM tables is reasonable, you can buy them individually for $1-2 bucks a pop or all SS and EMs for $20. This is the best real table pinball sim available on any platform.

Best app on mobile for classic arcade pinball period. I also play this on Xbox, and every tables works great on mobile, ignore the negative reviews, if you need arcade pinball in your life, then get this app. Obviously you gotta purchase most of the tables, but they are all reasonably priced, cheaper than most of the other pinball apps out there. Just know that these are not modern digital tables like you would find in "pinball fx", they are recreations of original physical tables.
