Zen Pinball for Android
Only complaint is the lack of bundles. I'd buy every single table if that was the case. Or at least a Zen sale across all platforms. Some of these tables have been the same price for years. I just want to be rewarded for loyalty. Farsight Studios' Pinball Arcade offers table packs and season bundles on every platform. Zen Studios should adopt and capitalize on a similar strategy on Android. They bundle on PlayStation store but on console the prices are much more exorbitant. I implore you Zen! As a player for years I'd love to own all your tables, but not at full price. Or at least offer similar pricing on PlayStation. Aside from that, keep up the wonderful work!
It's such a sadness that greed overwhelmed sensibility here. The modes for these tables need to be rethought as there are many factors that negatively affect game play on mobile devices. Everything from screen size to the touch screen controls, and especially the framerates apparently affecting the physics engine. Maybe tables should have been redesigned for mobile devices or exclusive mobile-only tables could have been developed. The tables I have tried are impossible to complete on a mobile device.
Just a fantastic digital pinball suite. Zen Studios really outdo themselves with each new table. Tight controls, excellent mechanics, meticulous attention to detail, and just plain creative design. Unlike actual coin-op tables, these aren't designed to drain the ball as quickly as possible; there's plenty of challenge to be had, but you can actually play a game for a decent amount of time and have fun with it without having to be a wizard. I suppose the ability to buy bundles of tables would be nice, but the per-table prices really are a bargain to begin with when compared to some other pinball suites out there.
As long as you buy the right tables. The demo table is good. But the ones you buy are mostly awesome. Especially the marvel tables. Update.. I switched phones and they let me keep my tables but they act like I never had any extra ball tokens. I had at least 15. Where did those go Zen?
When Zen Pinball first come out, kthe game was in a league of it's own.. But now it is table branded. Compare ball physics to the first four tables released in particular Eldorado and there you can see the true flavours and spirit of what Zen Studios. Your tables now the balls are floaty and lack weight. The flippers buttons are much harder now since need to press in corner of the screen and lastly If you uninstall the game don't expect all the tables back you bought..
These games are truly amazing and perfectly though out. It's sad to see bad reviews. But if you have a decent phone or laptop. You shouldn't be having any issues. Also, please take time to read the instructions on playing these tables. Once you understand how to play the tables, you truly start to enjoy these games. All around thumbs up.....oh yeah one more thing. Some of you people complaining about a few bucks on these tables. Please stop. Stop feeling this self entitlement fast food nation we have become. I'm sure you can skip your coffee for one day. Zen Studios keep up the amazing work. I absolutely love thus app.
Simply Great! Start with one table, but more can be purchased at very reasonable rates! And they are all so realistic its awesome! A totally mind blowing experience! I can't put it down! This is absolutely the most realistic pinball game ever. My table collection is getting bigger and better. Non stop pinball fun. Loving it!
All I wanted was a pinball game that don't require no details and no extras. Straight up pay and get what you pay for. Tried playing but the ball just goes down the middle too easily meaning I need to get more balls. I don't wanna link anywhere and give no details or watch videos or adverts. There's always a catch with these games these days. This fish ain't bighting the bait. Was tempted to get the Bethesda tables but no point when I have to pay for the table and the extras.. Looking elsewhere
App requests access to private stuff such as your contacts and requires access to other stuff and seems to only be playable with internet access. With some changes it could be a great game but as it is now its more trouble than its worth. THEY NEED TO MAKE IT SO THAT YOU SIMPLY DOWNLOAD AND PLAY
Love the tables. Bought the Han Solo on a few weeks ago and been playing it everyday. Kinda wish there was a Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit table. But what's there is amazing! I only have one complaint, it either keeps freezing on me or will just stop working.
Got plenty of great tables... Why isn't the tables in this version look as good as the standalone one? The graphics for the standalone Bethesda's table are sharper and less jaggy compared to this one, even with enhanced graphics enabled. Please improve the resolution! Edit: Like what I've mentioned before, both were already on 'enhanced'.
This is as good as it gets. If you like pinball and have never tried these guys just check out Sorcerer's Lair free gratis. People should stop whinging about paying for the subsequent tables. The free one is great and the individual purchases are well worth the money.
Its fun I give this 5 stars its just too bad there isn't a simpsons pinball that would be so cool and fun. I also have to say the pinball games I have are fun and great I can't even put my tablet down lol but I was just wondering if guys are going to create a simpsons pinball cause that would be sweet. Still loving this pinball games but still I wish there was a Simpsons pinball game but would be sweet.
Once you pay for a table, good luck downloading the it! After having to cancel and retry 30-100 times, it starts, but it stalls forever at less than 30%! Eventually you will get it! I bought many. Always trouble once I pay! Server too busy. Too cheap to add more to accommodate us! I have 2 I payed for earlier today that I still can't download. Tried many times every hour or so all day! Pissed off.
Just as good as on PC. It's just a shame I can't use the tables I already bought on Steam, here, even though it's the same game. Also, the flipper buttons being restricted to small ones in the corners is less than ideal. I wish the buttons were long, wide bars alongside the edges of the display from top to bottom. That way it wouldn't matter whether i push it higher or lower and I could re-position my fingers any time so that they don't obscure anything important
Best pinball game for sure. I just purchased the alien table but did it via the seperate app. Is there any way to get this to load into the main game with all my other tables as i would much rather have them alll together. If i open it in the main app it says i have to buy again.
I've changed devices many times and never had an issue retrieving my purchased tables. Best table is Super Sweet (South Park) Voices, colours, sounds, story, mini games - unbeatable; though I've got high hopes for Jaws .ect.
Thank you very much for replying to my regard. I moved the check marker to the top center of my screen. Problem easily solved. Lol! It's not in the way(physically) of the gameplay to begin with. But now, it's in a comfortable area (visually) for my optical preference. Again many thanks to everyone involved bringing us the best pinball games by Zen Ent. in the Play Store BY FAR!! :D Both free and purchased tables. *5 STARS EASILY*
Zen Pinball wants access to your contacts and requires to to give it access to this as well as other permissions in order to even open the game. What I thought was going to be a fairly straightforward pinball game is actually a waste of my time. If you want to avoid giving apps permissions they don't need, then stay far away from Zen Pinball. Worse than Mario Run, srsly
Love the tables! My phone sometimes lags when characters speak though , and causes flipper delay. More of a internet problem than game flaw i think
I've had this game for about 3 years now, I just bought the Doom table and it's awesome!! Still love this game!! Hopefully Zen Studios adds the Street Fighter 2 and Plants vs Zombies tables from Zen Pinball FX2 to this version, they're 2 of my 5 favorite tables (the others are the American Dad, Portal, and Venom tables!!).
Still the Best pinball game on Android but Would be Cool if Zen added all the Zen Studio's Pinball FX and Pinball FX 2 original tables to Zen Pinball HD :-D and If you could make more Zen studio's Original theme'd tables and remake some of the classic tables, we need Zen Studio's original tables and we need more available bundles, currently only offers marvel bundles, we need more bundle offers.. Encountering a game breaking bug, during play, the whole right side of the game screen controls stop working, it is a game bug cause everything else works fine.
An ok game just annoying to have to buy tables I've already bought in other android apps from same company. Edit: 5 stars company enable the table in other app for me on first business day. Great customer support.
I thonk this game is stupid it dosent make sence when you do the little mimi games and the paddels dont work half the time.. Also it makes you turn the screen but then it dosent work?
Latest update is unplayable. Loads fine, displays fine, controls fine, physics are jacked. It's as if the table was submerged in molasses. Ball movement is super slow, yet still smooth. Edit: Everything else is completely normal, the ball is just lethargic, like a var in the physics routines got set wrong. Imagine trying to throw a golf ball underwater, it behaves similarly. Edit2: I was hoping to avoid a reinstall, last time I did when I upgraded the tablet I lost my billion+ point scoreboard entries. Edit3: Happens on Sorcerers Lair and the one pay table I tried (uninstalled for refund). Engine thing, not table specific.
You openly say you want to mess with my g+ account. Wow I just wanted to play pinball NOTHING els period. What a joke why must everyone try and manipulate the masses using various types of info that has nothing to do with a simple game.
Plays great, but only getting one free table makes it less free and more pay to play. Oddly, the Bethesda tables are available free in a separate app that allows players to earn free tables and plays via competition an an watching ads. It would be nice to have the same options here.
I've played other pinball games and although zen studios adds a bit more graphics and physics, I find it the most enjoyable and addicting to play. Fantastic customer service with any issues as well. I plan on collecting all of the tables. If they had a one time price for all tables I would 100% buy it. Definitely the most replayable app on my tablet.
Great tables, that look amazing and play so well from star wars and marvel as well as the original zen tables. The walking dead table is sweet also with sniping mini-game amongst other features. Zen pinball HD ftw love it :-) x
Love the boards from pop culture. The detail on the boards is amazing. Thanks for the Moon Knight board! You need to do Star Trek and Lord of the Rings ones next! Maybe a Bad Santa board!
Good implementation but wish tables could be purchased as bundles within title. Couple of view discrepancies with Doom table vs Bethesda Pinball release with the tight view only available landscape.
I already love pinball so this just made my day. It's very addictive and there's many tables and I love the hell out of it. I don't really notice any but like most games I recommend a high end phone. The tables are cheap and if you love pinball like I do they're completely worth it!
Playing kept crashing after "multi-ball" is over. Otherwise great game. Please address, thanks. Now shaman game is a big "green" board no graphics or sound please help. Thank you.
Being a massive fan of this from xbox 360 to having the pc version, I didn't expect it to live up to the same silky smooth game play etc. Very impressed with the graphics, and amount of options available. Plays top notch on my s7 edge.
Now all the tables THAT I BOUGHT are gone. Hitting the shopping cart says 'you have no tables available to download' the devs will just say uninstall and reinstall thus wiping out all my high scores - yet again. I own every star wars table, same crap from time to time it's why I stopped short of buying the marvel line.
Super advanced. Couldn't ask for a more real experience in virtual pinball on a mobile phone
It's pretty fun. The only add-on I have is Portal. I love Portal but like 75% of the time, the ball always goes down the middle or off to the sides. You can even see it coming and can't do anything about it. Hopefully they can do something about it.
All good, though finding if I have to stop and put the app in the background for much longer than a couple of minutes it restarts the app and I lose my current game. As far as I can see it's not a setting in the phone [Oneplus 3]
Edit: Changed rating from 3 stars to 5 stars for fantastic customer service. My Star Wars tables were successfully transferred to the Zen app so now I can enjoy all my tables in one app. Thank you!

Changing from 1 star to 5 stars. Customer service is great - enabled tables I had purchased in another Android app. Ads have disappeared, perhaps because I have paid tables now. It's really nice having all the Zen content neatly available in one app. If I have a criticism, it's the lack of value bundles. Seriously Zen, who is running your company? You'd make so much more money by offering collections of tables at good prices.
