I would like to recommend Vector Pinball to anyone with even a passing interest in video pinball or video games.
I find this game to be very impressive, even more so as a free app on F-droid. I need to send this dev some cash, I have probably put >200 hours into this game and I am really enjoying it.
Things I like:
Physics are perfect.
8 boards
Each board plays very uniquely.
Great depth of play, the boards are complex and take some work to unlock/see everything.
Addictive.
Some boards are very difficult.
Unique look with vector graphics. Reminds me of Tron.
Pretty good music.
Things I don’t like:
My phone doesn’t have pinball buttons. Doing that on the screen is a bit awkward. Workable but awkward.
The ball can pass between your flippers with no chance to hit it. Often normal for pinball, this always annoys me. I think I should always have some chance to hit and save the ball.
Show me my score and high scores as soon as I finish a game. I should not have to press a button or wait for the scrolling to see these.
9/10
Heh, haven’t seen that name in a while. I remember playing with it on my first smartphone back in 2013
Try it again. Pretty sure you’ll find new boards to play.
Fantastic pinball, even better coming from fdroid repo.
My favorite table is the one with the laser/triangle lights in the middle.
I’m so bad at this game. I’ll usually shred through those 3 balls in less than a minute. I’m not sure, if that’s just how pinball is or I’m doing something wrong. 🫠
Most tables are very hard, try the starter-table first(large white circle in the middle).
Then go for the banks of drop targets(green and blue banks).
Ah, thanks, that table is a bit easier. I was mostly playing on the smallest table, because that looked the simplest, but I guess, that just puts the ball a lot nearer to the bottom…

Just a side note but you will need to figure out how to play as just assumes you know how to play pinball.
Fun game though
