Gameprom’s Wild West Pinball [App Store] and The Deep Pinball [App Store] both have significant updates that are currently sitting in Apple’s App Store approval queue.
It seems like one of the most requested features that we’ve seen from our readers about these games is the ability to lock your camera. If this was an issue for you in either of these games, as soon as these updates drop you will be able to pinch the screen to zoom out and lock the camera to see the whole table. If you get tired of this viewpoint, the opposite pinching gesture makes the camera pan back in to how it’s usually displayed.
The Deep update also adds the ability to toggle both the in-game music and voiceovers, and the changes to Wild West are far more significant: a slightly redesigned table, some improved animations, as well as music and missions have been added. The upcoming soundtrack to Wild West can be downloaded here.
In previous versions of these games, you were able to shake your phone as much as you wanted to bump the table. Gameprom has finally put a limit on how much you can do this by adding a tilt sensor. The effect this change will have on the global high score list should be dramatic, as previously the best way to cheese a high score was to shake your iPhone like crazy to keep bumping off the bumpers in Wild West‘s bank and The Deep‘s sunken ship.
Both updates have already been submitted and Gameprom is just waiting for Apple to throw the approval switch. In the meantime, if you haven’t downloaded either of these games, they are two of the best 3D pinball games on the App Store even in their current pre-update state and easily worth $0.99.
