“Flipper Critters is a unique adventure, combining classic RPG-like story elements with a pinball game interface,” said Paul Robinson, president of Ignition Entertainment. “The entire family will enjoy playing together on the go with their Nintendo DS, immersing themselves into the cute critter world while enjoying arcade-style pinball action.”

The quirky characters travel through a variety of settings, from towering castles to the surface of the moon, in their quest to save a friend, poor Bull, who has a cold. During their adventures, the Flipper Critters interact with a reclusive sorceress and do battle with a towering giant, and even learn the secret of their own mysterious origin.

“We are very excited to work with Ignition Entertainment, they are a well established name within the games industry,” said Zsolt Kigyossy, managing director, Zen Studios. “With their many years of publishing experience, we look forward to working with them on Flipper Critters and future titles.”

Flipper Critters makes use of both Nintendo DS screens to illustrate all aspects of the enchanting, three-dimensional world. All the expected pinball features are there including ramps, sinkholes, bumpers, jackpots, gates and goals – just in a different form – and finishing the pinball table objectives helps advance the overall game storyline.
