    Habakuk is a good candidate, but I'll let him speak for himself. He's also a pinball monster!

    Yes, thanks Habakuk!! It's frustrating being stuck at work all day and not being able to check out the vid!

    And I second Habakuk for some promo code action, he's very knowledgable of all things pinball and can write really in-depth reviews. He is my pinball role model!

    But, let's not forget that Dogmeat started the "Pinball MEGA Thread" and the "Pinball Player's Club" social group, so he is a great ambassador as well :D

    Either way it doesn't matter, I think we were all going to get this game day one anyway since it's first announcment :)

    Looks like habakuk will be getting a promo code. Thanks for your help everyone. Just got the highest score ever. I wonder if anyone will beat me.

    Had some feedback from apple, so they must be reviewing now.

    What's your favorite table? The Bowl looks the coolest to me right now. But what exactly is the effect of the "bowl" on the ball?

    This game looks pretty awesome. I think that Wild West has spoiled any other pinball game for me now though, because any one I see with a static table just seems a little boring. I like the whole jumpy action of the camera on that game. This looks good too though, it looks very action packed.

    With promo codes, do they only work once the game is in the appstore or before as well?

    Also, whats your score? So I know what I'm aiming to beat ;)

    They work once the game is approved.

    Don't ask how I know this, seeing as I can't even use promo codes.:rolleyes:

    It doesn't look like it from the original post but will this support landscape play?

    Oh thank you very much in advance (and all the others who voted for me). But I am not sure if the promo code thingy works outside U.S. Anyway you'll get my review here, in my blog and iTunes when the game will be published.

    You're welcome, Matmi. Monster Pinball seems to be a very cute and fantastic game with a high humour factor. You deserve thanks for it and I wish you lots of excited customers.

    Pinballs are my favorited game genre and I am very glad to see that they can work perfectly (if well done) on our beloved iDevices. Arcade rulez.

    Just tremble... The concentrated power of the tA pinball gang should not be underestimated... ;)

    The bowl is brilliant. If you moving slow you roll into the bowl. Crazy gravity. There are lots of hidden goals in this level.

    I guess my favourite table is Hogie Feed or Bindy Spin but I do love Head Banger as well.

    Head banger and Bindy Spin are really difficuly levels, I cannot last long on those tables.

    I got the highest score out of our whole team last night. Got a feeling when Monster Pinball is released my score will be thrashed by you lot ;)

    We had to make a quick change the online scoreboard to keep them happy.

    We thought about making the camera move but the fact is that the ball just moves too fast. The game is 60fps, the camera could never catch up, it would be impossible to play.

    We designed the game so that each one on the 6 tables fits in perfectly with the screen. Landscape play would simply not work.

    Monster Pinball is fast and furious and very addictive.

    All of that sounds really great, Matmi. Mmmh... Crazy gravity, hidden goals!

    :eek: Did you make use of too many F Words? ;)

    Come on,  Apple , click "approved"!

    No. Take the time that it needs to bring us another perfect pinball game.

    Youtube video

    The new video has been filmed, we are just editing at the moment.
    It is much better quality

    Will upload to Youtube in a bit.

    Keep your eyes peeled.

    (Hurry up Apple)

    Awesome! I can't wait to review this one, although with all the tables and whatnot, I have a feeling it will take me a full week of playing to get a good review out of it.

    With most of the pinball games I've reviewed, it takes a few days to really get a feel of the tables.

    Looks like a great addition to the Pinball genre. Hopefully it lives up to expectations. If you are still handing out review codes, I'd love to review it once it comes out.
