42 of 42 · most liked firstMomonga Pinball Adventures is a casual pinball hybrid game and is similar mechanically to games like Sonic Spinball. It is not a "real pinball game". It's cute and relatively polished. The art is nice and clean. Gameplay There are 9 story levels, which are quite short and simple, consisting of multiple playfields divided by checkpoints that are unlocked by completing goals on each playfield. Some segments involved the character flying through a scrolling area instead of being controlled by…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This player just exited Momonga Pinball Adventures after 64 minutes, in order to write this review (and consider my future of play with this game. As far as going back in….yet undecided.) It’s an extremely CUTE game, no question about it, and for beginners to pinball, it may be just the ticket. But it offers little along the traditional lines of pinball play or scoring, and instead perhaps might be considered pinball’s first PURELY Steam pinball-hybrid game. To get started in this game; if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Adorable pinball game. First time seeing a story of any kind in this genre. It takes about half an hour to beat so it's a very short game. The controls can be clunky at times. If you want to grind the achivements you're in for a long arduous grind. I'm torn on giving it a positive or negative review. Not a terrible game at all but it's far from perfect, however, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone so there is that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broken physics would ruin the most charming Pinball game in existence Pinball Adventure games don't need real physics. They don't simulate the real machines. The genre is mostly centered about exploring multiple areas, through some crazy level design, Doing all kinds of busy work along the way. Interactables, mini games, collectibles. here's the thing, Sonic Spinball, Mario Pinball, even Pokemon. They didn't had real physics, but they were consistent and balanced and functional at all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't really need to play all that much to say that this feels like a slightly above average mobile game. Its charm quickly disappears after you've completed the second level. Levels are very short, easy and, of course, you get a 3 star rating which is a big warning sign. The physics are some of the worst I've experienced in a pinball game. The ball got stuck on ramps and went through the flippers and it feels super sticky. The music and sound effects are very unsatisfying. The music…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great idea, awful implementation. Worst physics in a pinball game, ever. Customizing controls is impossible. Flying sequences are horrible. Stay away from this unless you just have to play all the pinball games on Steam :)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: For the price tag it's okayish Pro: - Cute artstlye - Interesting level design. You basically jump from board to board and sometimes fight against the evil owls. You need to trigger the clock with your Momonga ball so that you can attack them. - Two special levels (Panda Dream (Infinite Pinball) and Pachi*nko (Japanese Gambling device) - Leaderboards - Achievements and star rating Neutral: -Voice acting (I considered the gibberish to be cute but others might find it annoying)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't believe that there are games released nowadays that doesn't allow key rebinding. This is a PC pinball game, that ignoring 30 years or so of gaming, has the flippers mapped to the arrow keys instead of the Shift keys. And you can't change that. I'm giving this game a thumbs down until this is fixed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I picked this up despite various mixed reviews, and really wanted to like it. I like pinball games, and this somewhat story-based approach seems like it has legs. Sadly, the poor physics model, combined with ball-locking (sometimes you just can't get it to the right place because a trigger fires that holds it on the paddle) make this basically unplayable as a pinball game, and just not very fun as a 'platformer with a twist'. The art is nice, and I actually like the flying segments, but It just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completed the game, probably never gonna 100% it. Bought it on 50% discount based on nostalgia alone (I remember installing it from ms store and playing the demo levels back when I was a kid). Was pretty sure I'd feel the same incredible feeling I got when I first played the game. Sadly, I was proven wrong. What is Momonga Pinball Adventures & what it achieves It is an out of the box pinball/platforming game that probably has the cutest characters out of any pinball game. You are Momo, last…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"It's a pinball game with a story!" says the advertisement, unfortunately, it fails in both departments. It's very cute visually and I've had fun playing for 30 minutes it takes to beat this game, but everything else just drags it down. The game is segmented in 9 stages (with some bonus minigames,) which takes about half an hour to go through once and the main replay value of it is in the challenges (5 per stage.) The problem with that is twofold: Not only the gameplay itself is flawed, with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →15 minutes in I just wanted to say this game is brilliant. Similar to Mario Pinball on the GBA; maybe not as intricate but alot more forgiving. It's a shame diamonds like this get themselves quickly swept off Steam's front store page and hidden by all of the visual novels, F2Ps and Amatuerware pouring in. Also see: Rollers of The Realm
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →less than an hours gameplay, at full price this would have been a negative
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy in in a sale! Beatable in under 50 minutes and ends in a cliffhanger. The game is avaiable on Mobile too! Cool concept, but it falls short. There is only a small amount of levels which are all very short. Levels can be repeated for challanges. Soundeffects are fine but the music during the levels doesn't change and is very generic.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The art style and story are very cute and I had hopes for a good pinball game. Unfortunately the flippers are very weak and the physics for the game are not very accurate. It also has some flying sections that you are expected to complete using pinball controls. I did like some of the special levels like the Pachinko level, but overall the pinball aspect of the game lets down the overall experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Charming pinball game with small squirrel cousin as main character. Levels are fun, definitely have some replay value!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute but not enough content for $6. Worth checking out for $1.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to love this game, the characters and concept are so lovely, adorable, and unique that it inspires all sorts of possibilities in my imagination - ones that I wish were the case. Conclusion: It's clear that love went into designing the game, and it's good first step! But it's an early first step, and I would recommend skipping over this one in hopes that the next step they take fleshes out the concept and gives us a grand adventure to explore in Momonga 2. A casual player will…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game, but it has visual glitches on OSX (v10.11.6, Macbook Pro stock Intel chips). There's a note on the OSX graphics settings recomending using a certain graphics level - I tested all of them and they all have the same issues. Lots of images and textures seem to flash white; images in the loading screen, images in the cutscenes, some textures during gameplay, even the buttons in the main menu. It's too distracting to really enjoy the game right now, but it has a lot of potential and I'll…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinda glitchy physics, no option to rebind controls, no volume sliders, very repetitive music. Generally pretty janky, but totally playable. BUT it was a fun way to spend an hour and I want to encourage more games like this. If the sequel hook ends up leading somewhere, this could turn into something genuinely great. ALSO though, PLEASE for the love of god make separate and erasable savefiles in a game with a story progression. Just thinking from a speedrunner's perspective, would be cool to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The cutesy look and feel was okay overall, but the "feel" was way off for me at all points during my time with the game. You could not count on the physics to work in a way you'd expect on any given pinball shot, as if an invisible hand was meddling with things constantly. Without the physics and feel being right, the pinball aspect is a detractor rather than a highlight.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Momonga Pinball Adventures is what looks a lot like a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs trying to cash in on abandoned app store stuff. The mobile app is a promising and interesting concept, a hybrid of pinball and brickbreaking games like Breakout/Arkanoid. Fling a squirrel as your ball around various grassy looking mini-pinball tables, smash various targets and fling the ball to the exit. The problem…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very soft recommendation. I love the concept, and the style, and the fake chinese. The game play is pretty weak, extremely short (unless you love achievement grinding), and a bit buggy, but at least you can tell that the developers tried. There is a lot of mechanics crammed into nine tiny stages, I just wish that they were more developed and you could actually explore the world a bit rather than being accidently bounced into the exit 80% of the time. I'm trying to be nice, even…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/wtmcGUaoM7Q The simple life of a cute little flying squirrel is thrown into chaos when his town is attacked. Under the guidance of a panda Sensei Momonga learns the pinball arts and flippers through various challenges and levels. The mixing of adventure in the pinball play adds to the experience and the charming presentation works well with the theme.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the concept of this game, a simple pinball set-up with a fun storyline and some in-between alternative style scenes. I love the music and could really get into this fun mindset of a flying squirrel trying to save his home because of it... until I got down to 1 heart. The heart beating noise is so obnoxious I had to turn off my sound. Add a button that disables that noise and it's 100% what I wanted and expected from it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't think it would be amazing, gave it a shot... it's terrible. Could have been a banger. Refund eligible under 2 hours of gameplay.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not nearly as snappy as a pinball game should be, it leads to some really janky moments, especially during the final boss. The game is also incredibly short unless you care to replay levels with additional challenges that don't really do much for me personally, as they're all just things like "Hit all boxes." "Collect all of these things."
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Momonga Pinball Adventures, developed by Paladin Studios and Seaven Studio and published on Steam by Plug In Digital, is an inventive hybrid that attempts to merge the kinetic immediacy of arcade pinball with the structure and progression of a lighthearted adventure game. Rather than presenting players with a single endlessly looping table built purely for high scores, it divides its content into story-driven stages that function almost like pinball-themed action levels. The premise centers on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy it for a buck, roll the momonga around for an hour. It's fine.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note that you can beat this game in under an hour. The pinball mechanics are bit flimsy. The angle seems to vary wildly when the ball is near the tip to the point it is difficult to time the exact millisecond to get a useful angle for a shot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun, quick, and cheap... a perfect game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The other negative reviews are right. I agree with the other negative reviews. And with the control the final boss is absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"momonga pinball adventures" is a nice pinball game in which we will use a momonga (a type of Japanese squirrel) who will have to save his village from owls. Beyond a very nice plot, the game is beautiful to look at and relaxing to play. A product that is definitely worth purchasing, especially if you love pinball games and are looking for something to relax on. Rating: 6.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm still looking for another Yoku's Island Express game, and this might come close for some people - but not me. The physics kind of suck, the levels I played (not many, to be fair) weren't large or very interesting gameplay-wise, but worst of all the camera is too close so it constantly whips around and gave me a headache. To be clear, it's not an inspired pinball-Metroidvania game like Yoku, the game is divided into very small maps of a few interlinked pinball tables. I only played the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even at $1, you really can't expect much out of the game. The art style is cute, but there's not much else going on. It's got some interesting level ideas, but they are not fully baked and the execution was rather poor. The flipper controls are inconsistent and you don't get dash ability (a staple in modern pinball-style games). If you like challenging the limits of your own patience, this is the perfect game for you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fuzzy Balls everywhere It's a pinball game with a basic storytelling and cliffhanger ending, nice boss encounters, simple yet fun minigames and fuzzy balls. 🤣 You will get an hour of fun out of it, so I can't recommend it at full price, take it while it's on discount. I managed to get into top 20 at quite a few stages.The game itself is simple, the challenges are super hard and very rarely will someone have the patience (and time) to actually complete them since it's you know.. hit or (most…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for 1 dollar and 30 minutes of gameplay i'm ok with it I experienced something different yet very simple and not deep game is half backed , the idea is nice but poorly executed going for achievements is a non funny and non sense self suicide , the pure essence of achievements (do really people like to being told like this ?? hey play the same level 100 times ! hey do this 500 times !!) at full price and what it has to offer it's just a not recommended game look for a dollar key eventually as I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game but don't expect to much. What i like: -Achievements are quite hard. -Leaderboards for every level. What i don't like: Momonga (the pinball) should have acted a little more like a pinball in my opinion, gameplay of the ball is quite slow. But overall 6.5 out of 10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pinball mechanics made into a fun little adventure game. Other than a few brief flying segments you play pinball through small arena settings to collect coins or hit specific objects to move on, I think it works well enough, though the level design is really not made to make the most out of the pinball aspect of the game. The arenas are too "open" and you spend a lot of time (out of the 2-3 minutes per level) just waiting for the "ball" to reach your flippers. The problem with level design is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept of this game is great! Game time was WAY TO QUICK, 30min to complete without any real satisfaction... The rest of the time I played was used to complete every challenge for the levels. I think you chaps can do better! Waste of money!
