Pinball Arcade

An ambitious pinball game in the browser with three finished tables and a bigger vision – seven more worlds are waiting to be built.

Opens at everydaygames.se/pinball/

Three lit-up pinball tables in a row – Santa's Workshop, Coral Reef and Space Frontiers – against a dark background.

About the project

Pinball Arcade is a pinball engine built to carry many tables. Each table has its own geometry, its own missions and its own scoring on top of the same physics, so a new table is first and foremost content – not new code.

Three tables are finished and playable from start to end. The table picker already shows all ten worlds, and the seven still missing are marked as upcoming rather than pretending to be ready.

The goal is a complete arcade hall with ten tables, real sound and a shared leaderboard. Once the tables exist and the sound is in place, the game is an obvious candidate to move back to EverydayGames.

Current state

What works

  • Three playable tables – Santa's Workshop, Coral Reef and Space Frontiers
  • Four missions per table, with the fourth starting multiball
  • Combo ladder, jackpot, super jackpot and ball lock
  • A local top 10 per table, saved in the browser
  • Keyboard (remappable), touch and gamepad
  • Installable and playable offline
  • Full screen and reduced motion

What isn’t finished

  • Seven planned tables are marked "Coming soon" and can't be started
  • The sound is simple synthesised tones while waiting for proper audio production
  • No shared leaderboard – records live only on your own device
  • The game defaults to English; a Swedish version exists but isn't preselected

Why is this project on BSite?

  • Features are not complete yet

The game works and is playable, but most of the planned table collection is still to come. Three tables out of ten are enough to show the idea – not to live up to the curated EverydayGames catalogue. Here it can be seen for what it is right now, a strong beta.

Screenshots

  • The table picker with the three playable tables at the top and a "More worlds coming soon" row of locked tables below.
  • Santa's Workshop mid-game – a score of 47,900, ball 1 of 3 and the mission "Deliver the presents" at 2 of 6.
  • The Coral Reef table with a shipwreck, coral reefs and ramps in blue and turquoise.
  • The Space Frontiers table with planets, a galaxy in the middle and neon ramps.

Development log

  1. Moved to BSite. The game itself stays at the same address, everydaygames.se/pinball/.

  2. Published with three tables. The physics soak-tested and verified to be independent of screen size.
