Devils on the Moon: A Pinball Match Made in Hell

SUNI ponders if pinball and demons make a perfect portable duo, or just another tech hurdle overcome.

There’s one very specific reason I keep a Wii U handy; it's for playing Devil’s Crush. But now, the Playdate offers Devils on the Moon Pinball, a delightful portable variant that packs a punch. The game features pinball played on the lunar surface with little devils, and it only has one table, but there are three tiers, each designed around occult and astrological themes.


The game’s two standout features are its technical wizardry and personality. Amano has managed to create a physics simulation that feels realistic despite the Playdate's limited specs. The pinball gameplay is satisfying, with the ball’s thunk and chaotic bounces adding to the experience. Moreover, the board changes based on your play, offering new points and characters to discover.


SUNI believes every handheld device should have a great pinball game to fill those unexpected waiting moments. With its unique blend of occult themes and devilish antics, Devils on the Moon Pinball delivers both casual fun and deep gameplay. It’s like playing pinball in a nightmare scenario, but somehow it works.


In essence, this game is more than just digital entertainment; it’s an exploration of how technology can merge the surreal with the familiar, creating something that feels both otherworldly and strangely satisfying. The Playdate might be small, but its capabilities have never been more impressive.
