Terrific game!!

Zen Pinball is a great game! It had a few minor glitches (earlier in 2014) that seem to have been addressed in recent updates to really make this a must buy game for the Mac! The gameplay is smooth (currenttly running on 3 different Macs ranging in models - 2009 to 2012) and the table options offer plenty of variety with some great story, themes and audio tied into all the games. Recent games seem to get even better as they have even better animation and sfx, but older tables still offer plenty of value and fun. Only complaint on tables is that it would be nice to see a mixture of new themes (ie. currently offering Marvel tables - can we get some DC themed tables or how about some Disney and/or Pixar themed tables (same company as Marvel, so why not?). I find that some tables are a bit more enjoyable to play due to their layout which can add to a bit more frustration for some users as they are a bit more difficult or just don’t seem to flow as nicely - how about a try before you buy option?

Tables I have played include: all of the Star Wars tables (Favs include: Boba Fett, Fighter Assault, Return of The Jedi, Vader & Droids) and majority of the Marvel tables (Favs include: Deadpool, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Guardians of the Galaxy & Moon Knight), South Park: Super Sweet Pinball (New Fav table), The WalkingDead, Plants vs Zombies. All of these tables are great - but as I said some can be more enjoyable due to configuration and a better layout (ie. Star Wars-Masters of the Force, PvZ & TWD suffer from awkward layouts that could have been a bit better to improve flow of gameplay). Have played Zen Pinball on iPhone/iPad and found tables not offered in Mac store - why? Would like to see new exclusive Mac tables or some of these tables on other platforms moved to Mac too. One great thing is that you can play the tables you buy on multiple MACS if you are signed into the same account - nice option to provide more value. NOTE: high scores seem to be local, so even while on same account the best score you achieve on one Mac will not show on another Mac.

Zen Pinball is a really good game that offers plenty of fun that doesn’t get old since you can always add more tables (but it will cost you $$ - how about offering a multi table purchase discount??) and would be my choice for best quick fix game as it can be played by most people due to a low learning curve. Great ball action & solid selection of tables add up to replayablility and that is all you can ask for in a pinball game.
