3D Pinball Space

Space Cadet has always been my fav digital pinball since it came out on Windows years ago. But this is a TERRIBLE port to the iOS landscape. Here is why: 1) The screen is always landscape (longways). It would make more sense to allow player to choose orientation of screen, as larger phones can fit table much better. 2) Cannot name OR save scores. In fact, I had to close the app completely to be able to get out of the score page. 3) No settings of any kind are allowed. 4) The flippers are not very responsive. I should gave listed to the countless bad reviews before wasting my $4 bucks on this. Avoid this App, unless you really, REALLY wanna play Space Cadet again and do not know how to use an emulator.

Echoing what some have posted: Ability to turn music on/off, sound effects on/off individually would be awesome! 👏🏼 High score table: I don’t see how to even edit the default name, “Player 1”. If high scores could be saved to my iCloud, maybe even shared with or forward-able to others, that would be great too. 😁 High scores right now only last as long as the app is open, kind of like a retro Super Nintendo or Arcade game. Also, the physics are super close; but when the ball comes out of the hyperspace launcher, in Windows XP, it would bounce perfectly into the engine launch ramp without any user input, like 90% of the time. On this one, the ball typically hits the edge of the ramp walls instead. Maybe it’s a minor physics difference 🤷🏼‍♂️

my literal only complaint is how small the screen is, however, it’s totally worth it for that little bit of nostalgia. The size is the only reason for the four star. Took me a hot minute to figure out how to make the little bumpers move in order to actually prevent the pinball from sliding down the center. How to play When you open it, on the right side of the screen, there’s an F2 an F3 and a bracket that basically supposed to be the space bar. For volume, as soon as the game opens tap F2 and it’ll start a new game and that normally turns on the volume. At least it has every time for me. F3 pauses the game. If you hold the 3rd button down that’s how you launch the pinball. tap each lower side of the screen in order for the bumpers to work to hit the pinball.
