Pinball Spire

You play as Pip, a small pinball climbing a mysterious spire that appeared overnight. The tower is made of connected pinball rooms, each presenting obstacles and mechanisms to overcome on the way upward.

Use flippers, bumpers, springs, and other table features to direct Pip toward targets, activate mechanisms, and open the route to the next room. Enemies can be bumped into, while missed shots can send Pip back to a lower section.

As you progress, you gain mana-powered abilities such as slowing time to help aim, setting Pip ablaze, and boosting in the direction of travel. Defeating enemies builds mana capacity, and you can find accessories to customize Pip; New Game+ lets you begin again while retaining some progress.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its unusual pinball-adventure format, with room-by-room targets and puzzles giving pinball movement a sense of progression. Reviews also appreciate the abilities that add control to shots, along with the music, visual style, and compact length. Common criticisms include demanding shots that can feel frustrating, a mostly linear structure, and a short runtime that some players feel does not match the price.
