Apple Arcade #4: The Pinball Wizard

He’s a pinball…wizard? He really is.

This is a solid idea that plays well, for a while: pinball machine meets dungeon crawler, you bounce your little wizard guy around each floor of the castle using the flippers, in order to fight (bounce into) enemies, acquire gold and find the key to the exit. Rinse and repeat.

I had fun, then I got bored and never returned. Could be there’s much more to it and I bowed out too soon, and there is skill progression, which helps — but…yeah. Give it a shot: it’s cute, beautifully constructed, original. Worth a download and a ten-minute play session; you’ll quickly figure out whether or not this one’s for you. I hope it is.
