Pinball Workshop

A new machine every day, a Weekly Cup, and Arcade Run. Seven stock tables, Game Center boards, and a parts bin to build your own. The 1982 feel, on your phone.

Flippers up. A silver ball, a black field, six colors, and a parts bin. Play the tables in the box, then build your own and play them, too.

PINBALL WORKSHOP is a loving throwback to the computer-lab classics of the early 1980s — the kind of game where you spent as long building the table as playing it. Six-color pixel art, a chunky terminal font, square-wave beeps synthesized the old way, and gentle scanlines.

No remaster gloss. The real look, on your phone. Inspired by the 1982 classic.

PLAY • Seven stock tables, easy to brutal: First Machine, Double Bank, Clockwork, Gauntlet, Nightmare, and two more that gold unlocks • Pick your ball speed — EASY, NORMAL, HARD, EXPERT — and earn up to 2x score for the harder ones • Bronze, silver, and gold goals on every table • Game Center leaderboards for every stock table and 18 achievements • Tap and hold the ball to pull the plunger, tap either side of the table to flip, nudge if you dare — tilt if you don't

CHALLENGES • DAILY MACHINE: a new table every day, the same for everyone. Your first finished game is your score; keep a streak going • WEEKLY CUP: one stock table with a twist, Monday to Sunday. Best score of the week • ARCADE RUN: table after table until the balls run out. Balls carry over • Game Center boards for all three

BUILD • Drop parts straight onto the table: flippers, bumpers, slingshots, drop banks, targets, rollovers, spinners, one-way gates • Draw your own walls, point by point, as lines or closed shapes • Turn the world dials: gravity, speed, kick, bounce • Save to My Tables and play it with the same physics as the stock tables • Share a table with a friend: show its code, they point their iPhone camera at it, and it's theirs to play. Send a score to beat along with it. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.

NO CATCH • Free. No ads. No account. • Anonymous play stats help tune the balance; switch them off in Settings any time. • Dark by default, the way the original screen was. Light mode is in Settings.
