Freeballin - Pinball game

[arono]

Hey guys I just found this video in the TouchArcade Youtube channel
EDIT: This is the one from IUGO that was previewed some weeks ago when they asked us to help naming the game

I played the real thing recently, I had a blast :D Wonder how close this game can come to that...

Oh, btw, if you found it on TA's youtube channel, it's already been posted on the homepage. Instead of placing the video directly onto the site, Arn uploads it onto YouTube and embeds it that way.

It hasn't been posted on the homepage but I think it will in the next few hours because it says on youtube the video was uploaded 20 hours ago

yeah this looks superb - I'm not a huge pinball fan but the scope of the gameplay here may well draw me in

like the way the cameras follows the ball around a table bigger than the screen - allows much more content and really neat graphics

yet another must game on the way...

yeah. I have every iugo game out and love them all. I have beaten all three toy bots, beaten shakey summit and unlocked all of the costumes, and get about 8000 on zombie attack. This will be a welcome addition to my first page of apps.

I really like the look of this game. I like how their are different selections of pinball arenas. I haven't actually owned any of IUGO's games but I've tried Toy Bot Diaries Lite and it seemed pretty nice and polished to me. Hope this game lives up to expectations ;)

waiting on a few details before posting the piece we have on it.

But seems a very good game.

We need a good pinball game. This one looks like it will be easy to play and control.

[brighteyes74]

looks quite good but the tester is not very good lol

[Big Albie]

I'm looking forward to Freeballin'. The controls look decent and the animation is different from the other pinball games currently in iTunes. Pinball Dreams is a good option, but based on the video, Freeballin' will be a little more animated. We'll have to wait and see how this pans out.

That's what happens when we get the CEO to demo our games. Hahahaha!

I typically demo stuff, but he's much better at Freeballin' than me. ;)

[IUGOME]

Thank you for making me spit out a bit of my coffee. Thankfully I missed the keyboard.

:p

I do what I can.

I do what I can.

So I read in the front page article this had been submitted, can you give us a date of when that was? Just want to know when to expect this...looks like a great interpretation of the standard pinball game...:)

@IUGOME:
How much would it cost? will there be a lite version too? I bought Zen Pinball as it looks good on YouTube but quite disappointed when actually playing it. Even a time-limited (say, 15-sec max) version is enough to give me a taste.

And Adventure Pinball looks like it took some inspiration from Devil's Crush and Alien's Crush

Hey that Devil's Crush looks really good!! I wouldn't mind having a port of that on my iPhone!! :D

IUGO posted in the front page thread that it would be $1.99 to start.

Looks good, I like a good pinball game esp. one with a lot of objectives and I heard adventure mode so that sounds nice. It will really depend on how many tables/levels and the price for me.

Only thing is the tables look a bit bland even though there seems like a lot of objectives you could prob do just seems lacking a little bit. But not that far off from being enough either. Definitely one game to watch for.

l I missed this post before I posted but I noticed this too watching the vid, I was like man maybe its just cause hes busy talking and holding at a weird angle to show the other person but I think he stinks at it lol good stuff.
Even like the part where he makes a little grunt trying to lite those things up and then says yes! Funny.

[Avigrace]

Is it me or is the ball too big and heavy?

Still, looks very nice.

[indyraider4]

When should we be expecting this? thursday or friday? or has it not been submitted yet. Also, will there be any updates with new tracks or new gameplay?

Also, I hope IUGO makes a racing game. Maybe try to completely copy mario kart theme with tons of characters, cars, and a few tracks that are randomly generated? After playing and beating shaky summit on all difficulty levels, I am sure you could pump out a cartoony kart racer.

[IUGOME]

We submitted last Wednesday (March 25) so hopefully soon!

Updates are planned. :)

Racing game...note taken. I'll mention it to the others.

Umm.. I don't really agree with that. Racing is an overpopulated genre in AppStore, it's kinda hard to stand out. Maybe you're right there are only Crash and Cro-Mag in Mario Kart category, but wouldn't it be better if they make unique iPhone games like ToyBoy, ZenBound or Sway?

They're capable so much more than remaking something with a different skin :)

Yeah I know, but I am sure if they made a racing game it would be really unique and great. The only kart racers are cro-mag (fun, but controls seem off to me, and the tracks are long and get boring) and crash (Not many tracks, bad framerate, but good gameplay). In both of these games, there is something lacking. Plus, both kart racers have been huge and both have hit the #1 spot (crash was even $5.99 at the top spot). I am not asking for a direct clone of mario kart, I am asking for a game as fun, polished, and has as much replay value as mario kart, with the cartoonish feel. I am sure it IUGO makes a racing game, it will have a really cool feature that makes it stand out, like all of their other games do.

Thanks, this info makes me even more hyped! Also wondering if there are any updates in store for current games? I have them all and beaten them (but can only get 8000 on zombie attack) and was wondering if anything new is coming, other than a bug fix to a bug I never encountered.

Cool! Should be out any time now...looking forward to it :)

Quality is written all over it. I'm eager to see the final product.

[indyraider4]
