I went ahead and picked up Devil's Crush, since it's the only one I would regret missing if Konami pulls this app from the store at some point. Also as a sort of last chance for the app.

First game had me floundering a bit, thinking this was going to be yet another bad experience. First ball lost. Second ball lost. Bumpers come out. But on the third ball it started to click for me. This is 100% playable. No precision is required on the directional pad to operate the left flipper, so you're basically just tapping the lower left of the screen for left flipper, and lower right (button) for right flipper. 2nd game lasted 15-20 minutes, score of 10,373,000. Doh, forgot to save so score is lost.



Based on your experience, we can possibly recommend all the pinball games to folks.

Sadly it's the only one. I love having this on my phone though, and even having the app represnted by a cool TG16 icon. It's probably the best game on the Iphone. f*ck Zen Pinball.

So it is. I thought they would have released at least 2 pinball games...Devil's Crush destroys all other games simply based on its music, let alone the polished pinball mayhem.

I'm still stumped to find some sort of lead on the title theme...

If you consult the other thread, covell suggested that it might be a new, contemporary tune.

I have Bomberman 94 and Devils Crush on my Iphone and they're both play pretty well for a time killer on your phone. The shooters and platformers I've tried on the daily free trials have been very annoying.

Next time a vertical shooter is free, try the special touch screen controls for vertical shoot-em-ups (available in option menu).

It might make the game more fun .

At least you can now boot it up, set it down, plug your iOS device into a speaker and hear that soundtrack!

Sorry for bumping another dead thread.

I only got this app last year or at least before the app was pulled (for no good reason).

Unfortunately it is very tempramental and crashes a lot, plus it doesn't seem to remember the games that I bought.

There was a hack that someone did for this, where you could run all the games, by swapping a plist file (jp.co.hudson.t16box01.plist), problem is that I can't find the file online at all.

Did anyone find another way to hack this?
