Pinball (Sniper)
Genre: Pinball
Developer: Magma Mobile
Publisher: Independent

Graphics
Magma Mobile's pinball title, cleverly called "Pinball", features a wide variety of tables, with just as wide of a variety of quality levels. The sea, bowling, and football-themed tables are the most aesthetically pleasing, but still look a little thrown together, even when compared to some of the others, such as the horribly mish-mashed Android-themed stage.

Sound
Like most Android titles, there is no music present in this game. Flipper, table, and ball sound effects are convincing enough, but some of the other sound selections, such as the positively ear-splitting "Gooooaaaallll" sound effect from the football table, are grating and lacking in tact.

Gameplay
The engine powering this title falls somewhere in the lower eschelon of pinball video games, both in terms of physics and accuracy. There are also some peculiar collision detection problems, and the flippers occasionally fail to move when triggered by the player's input.

Overall
Compared to genre classics such as Epic Pinball, Magma Mobile's effort falls far short of the mark, especially since some of the tables included in the package are humorously awful. When played exclusively for the couple of reasonably well designed tables however, and when considering that Android is severely lacking representatives in the genre, this title is at least playable.
