Free To Play & Upcoming Changes

Free To Play

On May 10, the game will be going free to play. The base game will become free for everyone, but DLC still cost money.

[h2]Why?[/h2]
The game has evolved into something much larger than I originally planned thanks to all your support. The game was originally never going to have DLC and was meant as a one-off experience, but I am very happy with the enthusiasm some of the players have shown towards the game.

This is simply a way to reach a larger potential audience and for more people to enjoy the game.

[h2]How Does this Impact the Players?[/h2]
Simply stated, you shouldn’t notice any real impact, other than hopefully more contestants on the leaderboards.

DLC will continue and pricing will NOT change. I will NOT be incorporating loot boxes, gacha mechanics, battle passes, energy systems or any of the stuff typically seen in mobile and/or other free to play games. This is simply a way to make the base game available to more players.

Upcoming Changes

Mentioned above, I will continue to make DLC for the game and support it as always. Pricing will NOT change, and I will continue to support the game as always with a mixture of free and paid content.

I don’t plan on doing weekly updates anymore, instead focusing on larger patches. I will always employ hotfixes ASAP should the need ever arise.

There will be a patch on May 10 that introduces some improvements/fixes to old tables, and I am glad to announce that we will be going to SPACE! It is something that has been highly requested, and I am always listening to feedback and suggestions.

Spread the word, share your love for pinball and please continue to enjoy the game!


Finally, here is a preview of the new table select screen (work in progress). This should make selecting tables much faster/simpler.
