Kung Fu Panda Pinball

Peter "Pewet" Kovacs makes his design debut at Zen with a table based on a film I really like that could've been a bit better. The big gimmick of this table is actually something that I could see being done on a real table - the center Adversary training dummy target, which you shoot with the ball and acts as a "captive ball" of sorts to light modes. We haven't seen a mechanic like this in pinball since, what, Cue Ball Wizard in 1992? So it's awesome seeing it make a comeback.

Like most of the Zen Pinball Party tables, this game is a mission based affair with six missions right on the center of the playfield, all of which are pretty standard and I won't go into, but this table goes a bit beyond and adds the side objective of collecting figures of the Furious Five. In theory, this would be a neat idea - more and more pinball machines have introduced rules where completing tasks rewards you with certain perks, and I can clearly see that this game is trying to do the same thing. However, where the game loses me is how difficult some of these figures are to obtain. I only got all five after many, many failed attempts, and the lack of a bonus award or anything for getting them all is rather confusing. Maybe if it gets ported the rules will be fleshed out a bit, but right now, it feels like a lot of effort for not much reward.

That's actually a theme I noticed with this table - making seemingly simple objectives difficult to accomplish. To light the kickback, you need to complete the return lanes followed by the dangerous gong drop targets. To get either multiball, you have to shoot the steep ramp shots and hope that the ball returns nicely. I don't mind it here, as it gives the table some challenge I felt was lacking from the other games in this Apple Arcade exclusive. My problem is that collecting the figures is just *too much* of a challenge at the moment.

Overall, a 3/5 table. What's awesome about seeing new designers at Zen is that they continue to evolve their games over time - and I can't wait to see what Pewet learned from designing this table when Sky Pirates: Treasure of the Clouds releases.

Aura-t-on un jour cette table (et les autres) sous PFX version steam, epic et console ?

Je l'espère. Si il ont eu la licence récemment j'imagine que ce n'est pas limité à une seule plateforme mais juste une exclusivité.

C'est un pack qui est prévu donc ça serait génial que ce soit ces tables Dreamworks.
Il y en avait 3 je crois ?

Bah à quoi me serve mes tickets du coup   ?? En tout cas la table est magnifique   ! Cela donne envie .

J'ai mis 2/5 mais en lisant WIMS je me demande si je n'aurais pas dû mettre 3/5 plutôt ?! Finalement je juge peut-être un peu trop rapidement car c'est la deuxième table que je le fais ! Cependant je ne mettrais pas 4/5 pareillement. Il y a 6 missions principales et 3 multiball (il faudra que je cherche le 3e !?) mais j'apprécie moyennement le design. Surtout les missions du mini plateau sont quelque peu relou. On perd assez facilement la bille, mieux vaut les kickbacks. J'ai du mal à la capter en fait. Au final c'est une table correcte selon mes dires.

28 millions mais en deux joueurs donc pas comptabilisés . Je pense que sur cette table seules les missions payent vraiment. J'ai fais que çà en omettant les multiball et pouf 28M. Par contre attention au couloir "gong" qui peut parfois réserver un avion !
