Kabounce will have you pinging all over a map of bumpers and flippers, bouncing off of every surface as fast as you can in order to shift the objects in the field to your color by smashing into them, and keeping your opponents from doing the same by smashing into them.
Up to four players can locally hammer into one another, or eight players online, all joining in on some high speed rolling at once. You can whip around the field, guiding your ball as they build up speed and try to strike various targets all over the course. Hitting something changes it to your team’s color, and this also works on something your opponent has already hit, so you’ll want to get in the last blow on every one of the bumpers and other objects on the course. With some handy powers and other useful abilities, you can hopefully knock your opponents out of the way while you’re at it, taking over these futuristic pinball tables by force.
Not all ball will look the same, as you can unlock many, many customization options for your spherical character, giving them shades, floaties, and other silly decorations. You can then have these creations battle your friends and online foes, or tackle the game’s time attack mode, working through complicated courses. Feel free to join friends on other platforms, too, as Kabounce offers cross-play between PS4 and PC.
Kabounce is available for $ 14.99 on Steam and $ 19.99 on the PlayStation Store. For more information on the game and developer Stitch Heads Entertainment, you can head to the game’s site or follow them on Discord, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
]]>
The team has finally finished the miniature pinball kit prototype, and they don’t want to stop playing it! Originally the design was going to include three generic themes, but the team moved to one universal playfield that can have customized themes applied to it. It’s time to put the finishing touches on the Autodesk Fusion 360 designs and laser-cut, 3D-print and CNC-router the remaining parts. Watch the team play-test the pinball machine and give it a final analysis. What do you think of the kit? What would you have done differently? Let the team know over on the element14 Community.
]]>After slamming the left and right paddles as hard as physically possible, watching your ball drift seamlessly down the middle – you may want to ditch flashy, score-centric pinball games, instead exploring the softer side of pinball with Floating. Here, you’ll have some cute objectives about gently helping people, and all while enjoying the soothing level design.
Rather than grinding for the next million points, why not help a frog catch some pretty flowers by using your paddles to bounce it around? With some wholesome objectives in the game bursting with aesthetically pleasing levels, players who want to take a breath from the regular intensity of pinball may find themselves at home in Floating. With simple controls and objectives, you’ll be able to enjoy the game right from the start and appreciate the design of a low-intensity pinball game.
And when was the last time you used pinball to soothe someone who was about to fly away? Or put a tape in the VCR? Floating is definitely pinball for the more relaxed.
You can find Floating on Itch.io here! You can also check out the developer’s Itch.io page here.
As the team comes to the end of its long-term builds, it’s time to make a tough decision: What should they axe? Which product can more easily be taken into production? Join Ben, Felix and James Ray from AVID as the group discusses the viability of the mini pinball game, Super Glue Gun and their Portable Raspberry Pi projects! The team has learned some important things, including the ability to customize a Raspberry Pi and what up-front costs to expect. Have you ever brought a project into production? Which build would you like to see made? Let the team know over on the element14 Community.

If you’re a fan of Bally/Williams’ golden age of pinball machines, you might want to act fast to secure some great emulated facsimiles of some of the era’s best tables. The Pinball Arcade has announced that the license holder for 61 Bally/Midway titles that make up the heart of the collection has declined to renew its contract. After June 30, you will no longer be able to buy those tables inside the game, though existing owners will continue to be able to play the tables and they will still receive support, meaning there’s no reason not to grab the ones you want before they’re gone.
The Pinball Arcade‘s emulated versions of full-sized pinball tables are a great substitute for pinball fans not able (or crazy enough) to purchase their own full-sized pinball machines and for those not lucky enough to live somewhere with easy access to real playable tables nearby (residents of Portland, Oregon, can stop reading now). The officially licensed tables on The Pinball Arcade all have the original rules and sound effects and are available on a wide range of platforms, from phones to consoles to PCs.
The physics engine can’t possibly duplicate the feel of a full-sized physical game, but it does a pretty good job. The emulated tables are also a great way to learn the rules for games you might get a chance to play later in person at a local spot (those lucky Portlanders win out again).

With the electronics, mechanisms and simulations done, the miniature pinball game is starting to come together. Now it needs a great case. Remember, not every design element needs to be done on the computer first; sometimes it’s better to get hands-on with foam board and start prototyping. Once the design is set, Ben can take the measurements and make the fine adjustments using computer-aided design tools and then begin laser cutting. Would you have designed this differently? What should the graphics look like? Let us know over on the element14 Community.

The team is laser-cutting, CNC-routing and designing another PCB this week. Tune in as Ben uses Autodesk Eagle to design an infrared ball detector for the mini pinball build instead of relying on mechanical detectors, which should help keep costs down. Not all the design work has gone well, though: Felix finds he has to address issues with the main control board. What PCBs have you designed? Any difficulties you’ve encountered? Let us know over on the element14 Community.

That didn’t mean dumping our spare quarters into a Lord of the Rings-themed slot machine; it meant hitching a ride to the Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame.
This collection of roughly 260 working pinball, electromechanical, and video games has been open to the public for over a decade, with its 2006 opening followed by a size-boosting relocation in 2009 to a venue two miles down Tropicana Avenue. It arguably includes the most varied and valuable open-every-day collection of pinball and pinball-like games in the United States, if not the world—but you’d never know it by simply passing the building.

There’s a problem with Ben’s mini pinball game project: Everything is too big! Ben realizes that it’s time to decide on the design for the playing field, adding space for the various lanes, the larger bumpers and free travel for the ball. But can Ben do the math correctly? Perhaps Karen can help! What do you want the theme of the pinball game to be? Let the team know over on the element14 Community.

In tackling another prototype-to-production design, Ben uses Autodesk Eagle to recreate Felix’s printed circuit board layout. Learn with Ben how to create your own parts in Eagle and ensure that the board’s components are laid out correctly, bearing in mind things like ground planes and routing. What have you designed in Eagle? Is there anything you would do differently here? Let the team know over on the element14 community.
