We’re huge fans of Mediocre’s PinOut! (Free) (check out our review) but the game was just a hair too complicated for a number of people I recommended it to. Particularly as you get deeper into the game, some of the shots you need to make to progress require a true Pinball Wizard. If that got frustrating for you, but you generally like the idea of an endless pinball-er, Ascending Pinball (Free) might be just what the doctor ordered.

As you ascend higher and higher in endless pinball land, you’ll come across a few different obstacles, targets to hit, score multiplers, and a bunch more. Instead of figuring out which path is going to give you the most time bonus, often requiring razor-sharp precision, you just bounce your ball from one set of flippers to the next. Hell, I think they’re both worth playing, as it’s really up to you as to whether you end up preferring the visual style and difficulty of PinOut! or the comparative simplicity of Ascending Pinball.
