Pinball fanatics can now look forward to immersing themselves in the virtual version of the classic with this new offering. That’s because Haptify recently announced the release of its first title dubbed Enzo’s Pinball for Android-powered handset users.
Touted to be the first pinball title to feature full tactile feedback, Enzo’s Pinball enables players to actually feel the ongoing action as they flick balls onto the bumpers, ramps and targets. The game includes three diverse pinball tables namely Clockwork Table, Steam-Powered Table and DJ Table, each with a series of missions to conquer.
“Enzo’s Pinball is an ideal choice for our first title because it really showcases the subtle-yet-significant power of haptics in gaming. When you play pinball in real life, you use a combination of sight, sound, and touch to interact with the machine. Cutting that down to two senses, as most pinball titles do by necessity, just doesn’t provide the same level of involvement. I am positive that players won’t look at other pinball titles the same way after they’ve experienced Enzo’s Pinball with haptics,” commented Craig Vachon, Haptify Lead.
Gamers will have to avoid getting trapped by an 18th century clockwork mechanism and discover the secret of the clockwork pinball when playing on the Clockwork Table. The Steam-Powered Table offers a high-voltage playing field, while the DJ Table spills out the dark secrets of the record pinball. The various attributes offered by the title like good quality haptic feedback, riveting sound effects and realistic graphics brings the pinball physics to life.
The game proffers touchscreen controls as well as accelerometer support for providing players with the ability to ‘tilt’ the table for scoring points. This interesting Haptify title lets anyone boast about their scores through OpenFeint integration coupled with global achievements and high score lists.
Enzo’s Pinball can be downloaded via the Android Market for $1.49.
