August 20th Update - X-Box Rumble Pack Support (Experimental)
If you're using an X-Box controller with a rumble pack in it, the latest build of Hyperspace Pinball should now by default make the controller rumble when the ball hits a bumper. Thanks, TurtleSquared, for this feature request and for helping out in the discussion threads too! Th

July 31st Update - No more final level!
The big change is finally done; there is no more level cap in Hyperspace Pinball. The ending animation will still appear in the formerly final level; only instead of ending the game it will take you to the next level. It will look a bit like the levels you've already played but w

After a long time working on my other mobile and PC games, the pendulum has swung back to Hyperspace Pinball. This is one of two updates I have planned in the coming weeks.
In this update the leaderboard lets you filter on your friends' scores. The leaderboard window now utilizes a scrollbar that you can quickly navigate through with your mouse. The leaderboard controls for the keyboard and gamepad have also changed:

Left/Right change leaderboard and friends-only filters
Up/Down let you navigate through the score list; you may hold then down for automatic scrolling.
I also updated the third-party engine that powers the game. If you're a Linux player and you notice any good or bad behavior changes, please post in the discussion thread.

First of all, everyone is invited to follow me on Twitch at and watch me stream the development of all my games, Hyperspace Pinball included. Not only can you watch, you can give me real-time feedback! I don't have a set schedule but I will also post on Twitter @gamieon before I
First of all, everyone is invited to follow me on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/gamieon and watch me stream the development of all my games, Hyperspace Pinball included. Not only can you watch, you can give me real-time feedback! I don't have a set schedule but I will also post on Twitter @gamieon before I go live.
Now on to the update: I made the following changes:

Added a Bonus Spiral that appears on the right side of the table below the top-right flipper
Flippers now move a little faster
Bumpers are more responsive when they "bump"
Reduced time dilation frequency
I also made some under-the-hood changes that prepares the game for the next major feature update.
What's next?
There have been numerous bug reports where the graphics are glitching out in the Linux version. It's to the point where I think I must dedicate a release cycle to combating it.
I think the problem is that I expected the game to work on high quality settings for everyone...and it's just not so. I'm considering lowering the default quality and giving users more control over individual settings.
People are wondering "Why is only this game having issues? Why can't it render a simple pinball table?" Frankly I'm wondering the same thing, but I'll do my best to fix it.

February 15 Update

I haven't abandoned the game, I'm just real busy trying to push the mobile version out! Today I put out a significant update that includes a minor engine upgrade and bug fixes.
Here is a list of new features:

Added a Restart button to the game
Added a vSync toggle under video settings
Brightened up the background of boss 3
And the bug fixes

Fixed slowness after you earn 1M points
Fixed issue where balls could still act like the nexus was on the screen after transitioning to the next levels
Fixed issue where the ball count would on rare occasion appear as a scrambled number
The ball should now strike Boss 8 (the spaceship) while it's veering left or right
The changes aren't over yet; I plan to have some microupdates over the next few weeks to address other known issues.
As always if you have any issues, please post in the discussion threads! I plan to be online on and off this evening until 9pm EST.

December 9 Update
I just pushed a small update that fixes a bug where multi-ball power-ups did not spawn in the Boss 8 fight. It was designed to be a long battle; it was never designed to be near-impossible. There is still a known issue where the ball seems to go right through the boss when it's a
I just pushed a small update that fixes a bug where multi-ball power-ups did not spawn in the Boss 8 fight. It was designed to be a long battle; it was never designed to be near-impossible. There is still a known issue where the ball seems to go right through the boss when it's at certain orientations.
Future plans
I still have a list of things I want to do which comes almost entirely from player feedback. I've slowed down the update cadence some because I'm working on both the mobile version and on the prototype of another game that I want to put on Greenlight next year.
Here are some of the items I'm looking into:

Changes related to end-of-game flow
Quick restarting
Get achievements in endurance mode after the game ends instead of during
XBox controller rumble support
Screen rotation without changing Windows video settings
More achievements
More enemy diversity
Fix the Linux startup crash related to Catalyst drivers
If you have an issue or know a way to improve the game experience, please post in the discussion forums!

November 19 Flipper + L1 Bumper Patch
In this update I believe I fixed the problem of the ball falling through the bottom flippers and otherwise bouncing off them weirdly. The operative word is "believe." I think the problem got bad with the major engine update and I didn't test it nearly well enough. Ironically that

November 6 Ball Control + Score Patch
There has been a growing number of reports of people being unable to play because they can't control the ball or because it keeps unfairly falling down the center. I'm sorry about that, and this is the first in a line of patches that I hope will return control back to the player.
There has been a growing number of reports of people being unable to play because they can't control the ball or because it keeps unfairly falling down the center. I'm sorry about that, and this is the first in a line of patches that I hope will return control back to the player. Here are some of the changes:

Reduced gravity
Reduced flipper strength
Change of "bounce" factor on the ball, flipper and enemies
Changes in ball throttling logic
I've personally found the experience improved, but there are still some open issues:

The ball will still sometimes sink into the flipper or almost go through it
The ball can still slide down the bonus letters into the hole
Still the occasional unfair ricochet into the hole
Maybe once in every hundred times that the ball hits an alien near the left side of the playfield, it seems like the ball is getting pulled by a hidden gravity well.
Scoring
Another important change was inspired by a player who observed that nobody could get the 10 million point achievement. So I greatly increased the scoring potential...if you're good enough to be high ranking in the leaderboards, chances are you will get that achievement in the near future. This also means if you play now, your rank will shoot up in the leaderboard until everyone else catches up.

How is it different from the desktop version?

But I already bought the Steam version...do I really have to pay for in-apps to get all the mobile content?
