Flipperfox

Flipperfox is a fully three-dimensional pinball table. The ball is simulated like a real steel ball on a tilted playfield: it rolls, bounces off rubber and chrome, gets kicked by pop bumpers and slingshots, climbs the wire ramp when you hit it hard enough and drops back into the inlane. The flippers transfer their speed to the ball, so timing and position on the bat decide where the shot goes – just like at the arcade. Nudge the machine whenever the ball heads for the outlane – as often as you like, there is no tilt.

The table is the Orbital / 01 design: graphite cabinet, chrome and titanium parts, orange fox accents, cyan reactor lights and a space backglass with a turning Earth and a satellite. Every element moves: the flippers, the side buttons, the bumper caps, the slingshot rubbers, the drop targets, the spinner, the rollover wires, the plunger spring. Lights pulse on every hit.

Because it is real 3D you choose the view: player, low, top or side view, free orbit and zoom with the mouse or two fingers, and the ball cam, which swings in behind the ball while it tours the upper playfield and returns to the flippers before you have to act.

Scoring: bumpers, slingshots, lane switches and the spinner; three drop targets that raise the bonus multiplier; a stand-up target that lights the reactor; orbits with combos and a skill shot straight from the launch; the ramp, whose every third shot is the satellite link and lights the extra ball; ball save; end-of-ball bonus.

Modes: Solo (3 balls, club leaderboard), two players at one screen taking turns, and the online duel: two members on one table, playing in turns while the other one watches the ball live. Invite friends from the Community or share the table code.
