A Pinball Whiz! random puzzle on iPhone: a cream pinball table with locked bumpers, a glowing target hole, and a parts bin below holding two flippers and a spinner.
A random puzzle in Pinball Whiz!: drag parts from the bin onto the pegs, then pull the plunger.

I love pinball, but I don’t love playing pinball video games. I also love puzzles, and I do love playing puzzle video games.

So I combined those two things into a game I’m having a lot of fun playing, and I hope you will, too.

Today I launched Pinball Whiz!, which is a pinball-themed puzzle game. You get a pinball machine with a target. Your job is to arrange items on the pinball machine — bumpers, flippers, slingshots, etc. — to guide the ball into the hole, with as few parts (and as few tries!) as possible.

You can play infinite random puzzles, a slew of puzzle packs, and a new daily puzzle every single day. The app is free, and you can unlock extra pinball machine themes, soundtracks, and puzzle packs for a few bucks. Or don’t. You’re good either way.

This game makes me happy.

There are no timers, you have infinite tries, and you can worry about getting three stars or just enjoy solving each puzzle.

Grab Pinball Whiz! for iPhone and iPad, free in the App Store.
