Casual Corner: PinOut
PinOut isn’t your run of the mill pinball game. After all, it’s in the digital space so why conform to the constraints of a normal machine. PinOut is set up to have you traverse a winding layout in a limited amount of time. You go from stage to stage with new twists, turns and blockades that you’ll have to finesse your way on to. At your disposal will be flippers placed throughout that will allow you to get onto different ramps. The ramps are your only way of really progressing and will allow you to add time to your ever decreasing timebank by allowing you to access the time beads on them. Each bead adds a second to your timer and they’re incredibly prevalent throughout the game as you’ll be faced with more tough tasks to progress.
