Hold onto your flippers! Apparition Games, in partnership with independent publishing platform indie.io, is proud to announce that Pinball Spire has launched on Steam! The unique pinball adventure deftly mixing fast-paced pinballs, platforms, puzzles, and the spirit of adventure is now available, inviting players to join the unflappable Pip as they enter a mysterious spire to unravel its secrets, one shot at a time.
This is no ordinary pinball game or table. The mysterious spire is full of chambers that require not just an accurate shot with a flipper or a carefully timed shot, but a knack for platforming and puzzle-solving. Each chamber is a self-contained puzzle for Pip and the player to solve. Sometimes it’s a matter of carefully watching the environment using the Scouter ability to find the right path.
At other times, the game’s mana-powered pinball abilities come into play, such as Focus for making perfect shots or the Fireball to set Pip on fire and light the way ahead (don’t worry, they’ll live). Or rather up top: The goal lies at the top of the spire, past an intricately interconnected world full of surprises, strange pathways, and even stranger devices serving a mysterious purpose.
The unique gameplay and world of Pinball Spire are the brainchildren of Tom Voros, forming both a unique experience unlike any other and a loving homage to old-school action titles, pinball video games, and the vast Metroidvania genre. Inspired, but never derivative, the game’s unique gameplay and visuals are paired with a retro-inspired soundtrack with an acoustic touch by Starling Tan, creating a mysterious, adventurous soundscape that’s equal parts surprising and familiar.
With the launch of Pinball Spire Tom, solo developer of the game, shares his excitement “I hope players enjoy the atmospheric art and music as they journey through the Pinball Spire in this unconventional take on pinball action!”
