✭ABOUT THE GAME✭
Pinball HD - This game will change your idea of Pinball on the iPad. Each table - Wild West, The Deep, and Jungle style - are masterpieces. You'll be stunned with the level of realism. This is a REAL Pinball simulator with stunning 3D graphics both with or without 3D glasses.

✭IMPORTANT✭
• Landscape mode - "full table" view
• Portrait mode - "flying-table" view
• In portrait mode slide up or down your both thumbs to toggle camera view from "flying-table" to "full table".

✭FEATURES✭
✔ 3 pinball tables with unique graphics, instructions, missions system, locations and characters
✔ Landscape mode shows a full table view. The games can be played in either landscape orientation with the button to the left or right of the screen.
✔ Portrait mode gives you a flying-table view with the camera panning and zooming over the action. This can only be played when holding the iPad with
the button on the bottom. If you activate the screen orientation switch, the game only plays in portrait mode.
✔ A wonderful 3D engine that does true justice to the graphic capabilities of the iPad.
✔ Realistic physics.
✔ Built in help for each table. Tap the circled "I" at the bottom right of each table to get a display detailing instructions and descriptions of the features of
each table. Make sure to swipe left and right when viewing since the instructions don't fit on one screen.
✔ Local and global high scores. Swiping right brings up a table of local high scores and further tapping brings up high scores from copies sold throughout
the world. At the end of each game you are prompted to enter your name and have your score included.
✔ Unique soundtrack with atmospheric music, sound effects and voices.
✔ Camera tilt brings dimensionality to the games offering a simulated 3D effect where the image changes depending upon how you tilt the iPad. Camera
tilt only works in landscape mode.
✔ Stereoscopic imaging option (requires anaglyph eyeglasses). You can choose between red-cyan, green-magenta or yellow-blue lenses.

✭HOW TO PLAY✭
When running the app, you are presented with a 3D simulated camera zoom, pan and fly-over of one of the games. Swipe either up or down to get to the other two games. Swiping right brings up Gameprom news and swiping left brings up the local score screen. Tapping on a game's fly-over screen starts game play. Controls in game:
• Tap ANYWHERE on the left side of screen to control the left flipper and ANYWHERE on the right side to control the right flipper.
• Shake your iPad to realistically shake the pinball table, but not too much or you'll tilt.
• Tap on the "electronic caption" at the top of the screen to pause or resume your game.
