About Devils on the Moon Pinball
Devils on the Moon Pinball is an indie pinball game developed by AMANO for the Playdate. Released on December 31, 2026, it sticks to a single, intricately designed board centered around occult and astrological themes. The game draws inspiration from both classic pinball titles and modern entries in the genre. Players navigate a single-table layout filled with ramps, bumpers, and themed targets, all rendered in a dark, mystical aesthetic. It’s a straightforward yet polished single-player experience that prioritizes tight physics and responsive controls over open-ended exploration.
Gameplay
The game revolves around mastering a single pinball table featuring occult symbols, devilish hazards, and celestial goals. Each session involves launching the ball, hitting bumpers, triggering ramps, and collecting targets to unlock bonuses. The control scheme is intuitive, relying on precise timing and angle adjustments to keep the ball in play. The table’s design forces players to experiment with multi-ball sequences and timing-based challenges. While there’s no story or progression beyond scoring, the focus on high scores and replayability keeps sessions engaging. The physics engine mimics real-world pinball mechanics, making every tilt and spin feel deliberate.
What Players Think
The PlayPile community gives Devils on the Moon Pinball a 4.3/5 rating with a 78% completion rate among 1,200 tracked players. Average playtime is 8 hours, with 65% of users citing “relaxing but addictive” as their primary mood. Critics praise the table’s creativity but note the lack of variety. The game’s 213 achievements (85% earned by top players) emphasize high-score chases and hidden objectives. Reviews highlight the “satisfying feedback loop” and “tight controls” but question its replay value after mastering the table. Community sentiment leans positive, though 22% of players feel it’s overpriced at $19.99.
PlayPile's Take
Devils on the Moon Pinball is a niche pick for pinball purists and occult enthusiasts. The single-table focus suits short, high-score-driven sessions, but its limited content may not justify the cost for casual players. With 213 achievements and a dedicated community, it rewards persistence but lacks broader appeal. If you’re a fan of retro pinball mechanics and enjoy dissecting intricate tables, it’s worth the $20. Otherwise, stick to free pinball demos. The game thrives in its simplicity but doesn’t expand beyond it.
