Obviously not a Brick Breaker replacement with a $5 pricetag. Pass...

What controls do you use for the trackpad models?

 
 
Posted by wojtas25 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

I use "s" and "l" for flipers, "Space" for release ball.

 
 
Posted by Mobigloo Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

We simply divided the keyboard in 2 parts. So any key on the left of the keyboard will activate the left flipper, and right side for the right flipper.

Space also allows to nudge the ball.

nice, so T/G/V left, Y/H/B right, sorta thing?

Only use one thumb so having the keys close together makes it much easier to play :)

Thanks!

 
 
Posted by wojtas25 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Yes, exactly but i use "s" & "l" config coz is much place for every finger :)

Also, we waiting for new version with some new tables ;)

I love Pinball and already playing with Pinball Deluxe. Nice smooth animation on my BB 9700, nice sounds, mini games. I recommend for every Pinball fan :)

Can't wait to play it.

This game looks wicked.

 
 
Posted by FunkyDog Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Can this work on a Storm2? With landscape view or portrait like in compatibility mode?

 
 
Posted by Mobigloo Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Yes, Pinball Deluxe works on the Storm 2, using the portrait orientation. It uses the full screen and you control the flippers by touching the left side/right side on the screen. Shaking your device will also nudge the ball.

What the size of this game for the 8320, if its too big I can't get it.

 
 
Posted by Mobigloo Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

The game is only 700KB

 
 
Posted by Three7s Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

As an old pinball wizard (stress the OLD part), I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with the game play (BB 9700)!

Absolutely worth the $5 to me.

 
 
Posted by Roscopcoletrain Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

ok this game kicks a$$!

 
 
Posted by kngoworld Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

The video looks like one might get dizzy from the screen following the ball up and down.

 
 
Posted by greencod Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

The game has smooth scrolling, so you don't get the dizziness effect.

 
 
Posted by sheldonbk Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

it really does work smoothly and once you get used to the very simple layout, it has no impact whatsoever. If there's something that will make you dizy, it's the upside down mini pinball game.

 
 
Posted by bgriff25 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

This is my new favorite game on my Tour. Very smooth...very addicting. Definitely worth the $5.

 
 
Posted by Thumper213 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Has anyone played it on the Tour yet?

 
 
Posted by bgriff25 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

I have it on my Tour and it works Great!!

 
 
Posted by macallik Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Loving this game on my Storm 2.. worth the $5

 
 
Posted by brendonlee Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Works really well on 9700. I though it would be a little weird having the screen follow the ball, but it just feels natural. Def 5 stars.

 
 
Posted by shopgurl Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

I'm having a field day on my storm2--- so far the best game ever!

 
 
Posted by kjdoug Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

no free trial...I've downloaded too many things for my blackberry that ran like molasses. And i'm not gonna spend $5 on this only to find out it does the same. The makers should consider a free trial.

 
 
Posted by HockeyBerry21 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

I purchased 80s Pinball earlier this week and was not impressed.

Does anyone know if PB Deluxe is better?

 
 
Posted by cheech4 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

i am interested in this game but i am wondering if it can be transferred over another phone. i currently have a curve and in 3 weeks i am getting the bold 9650. also anyone know if this will work with 6.0 around the corner?

 
 
Posted by rlmesq Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

If you buy through the Crackberry App Store (or any other Mobihand storefront), it's pretty easy to swap devices. You just change the PIN on the site.

BB Appworld (AKA Crapworld) is far more difficult.

Not sure what OS 6 will bring, but Mobigloo has always treated customers fairly. I would predict a half-price upgrade when the new OS comes out.

 
 
Posted by brainexhaust Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

If it works smoothly with the 8530 I definitely would like a copy!

 
 
Posted by DavidNC Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Anyone got his on their 8330 yet? I am thinking of purchasing it,...but not forsure yet although I love pinball :p

 
 
Posted by ew800 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

This looks like a winner!

Can anyone tell me if I purchase this now for my Storm 1, but in a couple of weeks I purchase the Bold 9650 (assuming Verizon actually releases it!), will I need to purchase a new copy or can I transfer this to the new Bold as well??

 
 
Posted by stoneland Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

How many boards does this have? Looks like just this one...

 
 
Posted by sheldonbk Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

Yes one board with 3-4 mini-games, one of which is a tiny upside down pinball game.

 
 
Posted by jahoobob Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Doesn't look like it is available on CB for anything but Storms.

 
 
Posted by greencod Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

It's available for Storm and non-Storm phone. There is a download option for either version in the link below the video.

 
 
Posted by TheOne01 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

I thought that blackberrys weren't for games?

 
 
Posted by 4JackNapier Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

"If you want a toy go get the iphone." I see that a lot here. But guess theyre willing to throw down $5 for a pinball game. It amazes me that with the limited apps and games that are available for BB's, that they charge what they do. When it comes to apps (useful or downtime apps, free or paid), BB's dont exactly have the upper hand. Paid for two games on my BB, Bubble Army and Bubble Defense. My brother has the same games for free on his Droid. Course they look prettier and go by a different name.

 
 
Posted by dgbb8900 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Cool, maybe I wait for on sale .99 to 2.99, sure I will grab a copy.

 
 
Posted by EliasZuniga Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

I'm a firm believer that developers that take a lot of time and effort to make quality applications like this one should charge $5 at least. Maybe if developers notice they can get $5/app in BB rather than Apple's race to the bottom win $1 and free apps may be more encouraged to try out making apps for BB.

 
 
Posted by sheldonbk Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

I had no problem with the $5 price tag. It plays terrific and is worth every penny. Everyone compares prices of apps to Apple's iphone, which isn't what we have. I've bought a ton of themes from this site from 99 cents to $7 and many apps at all kinds of different prices, some of which I don't use anymore. The bottom line to me is that it's far cheaper than Pinball games I've bought for the computer and they pack a ton of punch in a much smaller app size, which takes more talent than when you can create a program without regard to size limitation.

 
 
Posted by Irving94 Friday, May 21, 2010 734 days ago

Dear Mobigloo, is this going to be released on Blackberry App World? If so, when? I can't wait to buy it.

 
 
Posted by Mobigloo Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

Yes, it will be released in App World but for now, Kevin gets to have it first!

 
 
Posted by FunkyDog Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

Dear Mobigloo. Nice game but its a bit pricey for a pinball game. Its really good development and I think its 3D, correct me if I'm wrong.
But do have a discount coupon for crackberry regulars? Its quite a steep price!

 
 
Posted by Mobigloo Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

We've dedicated the last 5 months of our life to develop Pinball Deluxe which is the biggest production we did so far. No coupons are currently available but if you are patient, I am sure some discounts will be available in the future.

 
 
Posted by dgburns Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

Looks good but I agree I think the price is too steep for a smartphone game. Yeah Yeah, $5 doesn't sound like much, but when comparing to other platforms this wouldn't get $5 over there, why should it just because it is BlackBerry?

So if the devs are still reading this thread, does this support/use the OpenGL hardware on devices (8530, 9550, 9650) that have it?

Yo Crackberry...you need to score 100 copies and do a giveaway!

 
 
Posted by usernam9102 Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

I agree price is high. I do enjoy playing it. Word Mole was getting old for me. This is the frist game I have bought for a storm

 
 
Posted by lauramunaf Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

Just download it and love it!

 
 
Posted by French Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

I'm playing on a Storm 2 and keep accidentally pausing the game. I have no idea how I'm doing it, but from best I can tell clicking the left and right screen in quick succession (or right and left), or sometimes pressing and holding, result in pauses. I sent an e-mail already but thought I would post here in case there are others. It could, of course, also be user error. But I didn't see documentation on how to pause for touchscreen devices so not sure how it was implemented (or if it was).

 
 
Posted by BlockbusterF Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

It's a relly awesome game, perfectly smooth and fun, but the german translation is really funny. Nothing seems correct translated. Seems like they used Google translate. Funny

 
 
Posted by helmdawg Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

Purchased this game last night (9700 version), well worth the money.. Well done Mobigloo and CB for showcasing it here!

 
 
Posted by ghfogle Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

Greeaatt game! By far the best game yet for a blackberry. Smooth action, no hourglassing, easy controls. Love it!!!

 
 
Posted by six4seven Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER FOR BLACKBERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this game soooo much!!! Worth the $5.

Just wish they had different levels and not just the one theme.

 
 
Posted by Shoesmom Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

Love Pinball Deluxe! Runs great on my Storm 9530. Took a chance on getting it without having a free trial and I had no problems. Worth the $5 to me!

 
 
Posted by one-fase Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

This looks nice

 
 
Posted by Jaiden Saturday, May 22, 2010 733 days ago

the smoothest running game I've played on the storm. Greatest game ever . . . ? It's pinball. O_o

 
 
Posted by ericlc2 Sunday, May 23, 2010 733 days ago

This game is awesome, will there be new levels in the future (free upgrades?)

 
 
Posted by ShiftyAxel Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

I'm stuck with an 8520 Curve myself, it's a BlackBerry and I'm happy for that, but god do I want a Bold so bad. I've only ever owned a Curve and a Storm 1 (Long gone, thank god. Keyboards rule!), and I've gone so far as to buy a big plastic case for my 8520, just to make it feel that bit bigger, bulkier and heavier, so I can feel that I have something nicer, so that I can feel in some small way that I have something as good as a bold, even if that can never be true of this device, and even though said case restricts my typing and trackpad use some. I would be absolutely overjoyed if you'd throw (Figuratively of course) your 9700 this way, Kevin!

 
 
Posted by vcginc Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

I love the game...my current high score is 1million plus points. Sharing high scores on a common board would be great...

 
 
Posted by Mobigloo Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

There is a thread in the CrackBerry forum about the high scores:

Posted by sheldonbk Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

I bought last night based on this blog post. It's my first and only game purchased or installed on my 9000 device.

I do get a tiny bit of lag here and there. I don't know if that's related to my OS (5.0 - WB hybrid 5.01) or other apps installed, but it's not that often at all and is tolerable.

If there's a problem, it's hand cramps from playing it for a long time. Also, it says to use the left and right side for flippers. That's not the convenience keys. I thought it might be the shift keys. It's a usual key on the right and left side of the keyboard. So, I find A & DEL keys for flippers works best.

 
 
Posted by estrickle Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

I have wasted money on games that end up being deleted. But this one is a keeper. Best game I have ever purchased on a cell phone.and worth every penny. I highly recommend it.

 
 
Posted by Totalimmortal363 Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

That's five times more than I've ever paid for a game/app on my iPhone. RIM needs to get their s**t together if they want to succeed in the consumer market. Having the highest price per app in the smartphone market and taking extra from devs is not how it's going to happen. This is a large reason I dumped RIM, their AppWorld is insane, and at only 7,000-ish apps they need all the help they can get. Almot everything paid in AppWorld is free on the iPhone and even Android. What a loss of a previously strong platform.....

 
 
Posted by FunkyDog Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

I finally purchased this after a hard thought of whether to wait for it to be discounted and decided the wait started when it was previewed earlier on YouTube!

Its a good game, kudos to the developer, loved it. Could have more action. Perhaps a free upgrade in the near future?

I'm on a Storm2 using Vodafone Egypt's official OS .580. Contrary to what others reported, I faced an occasional lag but that did not affect much gameplay. Had a second to breathe actually! Left - right response via the screen was good. However the tilt on the Storm2 as reported by the developers doesn't work, perhaps it worked in a different way that was not known to me.

I still think the US$4.99 price tag is a bit steep, especially for a game like this that worth half of what it is if its released for the iPhone or Android. And you won't get much Asian interests as the money equivalent is enough for 3 meals and people in my part of the world do not believe in paying too much for apps, even US$1.99 for an iPhone app. The developers should have a serious thought about the pricing. I bought this cos I liked the game and the developers actually respond to comments quick swiftly here. Strangely I've emailed them previously via their website www.mobigloo.com and never gotten a response though.

As they say, one man's meat is another man's poison. As I say, one man's wallet is deeper than another......
