Among iPhone gamer pinball fans, it seems like debate of which of the pinball series is the best on the platform is as hotly contested as Star Wars nerds arguing over which is the best movie in the original trilogy. I'm partial to Gameprom's pinball games, as they all load very quickly, seem to have realistic pinball physics, come packed with online leaderboards, and have camera options to either follow the pinball or stay locked and display the entire table.
Wild West Pinball [Free] was released first, followed by The Deep Pinball [Free] and as of a few days ago, Jungle Style Pinball [99¢] is the latest in Gameprom's pinball lineup. Normally both 99¢, Wild West and The Deep both went free to promote the launch of Jungle Style. On top of that, the previous two games also were recently updated to "Christmas Editions" which just amount to each of the tables having their art slightly modified to be more festive.
Jungle Style Pinball takes the same gameplay and adds a new jungle themed pinball table. Much like The Deep was an improvement on the table found in Wild West, Jungle Style takes this even farther with even more things to hit and hidden areas to boost your score.
The developer released the following gameplay trailer:
I highly recommend downloading The Deep Pinball and Wild West Pinball while they're free. If you enjoy either of those games, you should like Jungle Style Pinball just as much if not even more.

Pinball is not dead!!! It lives on my iPhone! This is Gameproms finest work yet.
and i will but it
but why not?
macrumors is late again
and I bought it already
i have bought it too
Will begin to play soon 
I think I'll get some iTunes Store cards for Christmas, but I don't know how to spend them. I'm getting lots of wonderful games for free this month: UniWar, MiniSquadron, iBlast Moki and now these!
AppStore is not cheap, is FREE!
I highly recommend these pinball games!
They have really good graphics, intuitive controls, and best of all, 2 of them are free!! 
I hate this developer's pinball games. Unless you only like the REALLY old pinball games, these are terrible. They have far too-wide open playing fields with very little going on. You want to see a pinball game that has lots and lots to do?
Check out games like Medieval Madness or Attack From Mars. There's tons of empty real-estate on the field and you spend most of your time watching a ball travel over nothing rather than all the cool things it can enter or be shot from with lights all over the board (with words on them) not just boring little circles and lights that they keep copying from game to game.
The only developer who has been moving in the right direction is Cowboy Rodeo. Look up their pinball games…much better.
And if someone wants to complain about the realism and the physics…then suggest these pinball game makes to start looking at titles like this:

C'mon…let's write something new
I agree… to a point… the tables are a bit 'Spartan', but that's the beauty of them. They remind me of the tables my dad used to have in the basement when I was growing up… old analog tables with bells for sound and the constant clacking when the numbers were rolling… it was great. I love these pinball games. I've downloaded and tried several other pinball games from the appstore, but was disappointed with all of them.
I think the word you're looking for is 'sparse'.
Anyone else feel like every single comment before mine were made by the developers of either the reviewed game or a competing game… LOL!
ha ha… yeah… especially the comments by Chad. He must work for "coyboy rodeo"
I wouldn't trust any comments without a photo
I can't wait until their next pinball game comes out – you know, so I can get this one for free at that time
I would be willing to buy thier pinball games if they were bundled in one app and they kept updating it with new pinball machines like a certain other pinball app I have did…I wouldn't mind spending $3-$4 on one app if Gameprom did that. Buying just one app with only one pinball table to me feels cheap and a total waste, even if it is just 99 cents
Great pinballs! – my wife and I love them all…and no am not one of the devs lol
Their promotion of giving away 2 of the pinballs for free is a very nice gesture indeed…
To be honest, while I was gaga for the first and over the moon for the second, I think they've gone a bit downhill. While the physics are still great, and I like the attempt to use the accelerometer to change the view (like Zen Rollercoaster), the graphics themselves look a bit too 8-bit and cartoony (yeah, I know, that's probably intentional), and the layout is a bit worse. And I really dislike the obstructions, which hinder the game a lot more than it would a real table.

Wasn't a big fan of Wild West (nice "feel", but the table is pretty sparse), so I skipped The Deep until now…but grabbed it when it was free, and I'm glad I did. It's quite a bit more interesting and fun than Wild West. And now I think I'll check out Jungle Style.
Thanks for the tip.
Check out BITS pinball. http://ballinthesystem.com/ I came across it by chance and became addicted to it pretty quick. The table is fast and fun and there's plenty to do!
