Pinball Ride Theme on iTunes

21 Feb 2011 - published in -, Home Page com : Comments (0) avatar

The original track and the extraball remix are now available.

Collaboration: At Massive Finger, we were working on Pinball Ride for 6 months, and we already knew we needed a great soundtrack. This universe of night life and racing was being developed, and we had to find a nice energetic soundtrack to create the mood. Laurent is a good friend of Tresh and has been following his productions for years. The track is a collaboration with Bloop and already sounded amazing at that time.

Artists Bio: DJs, Composers, and Geeks. Tresh and Bloop joined together in 2007 to produce dancefloor tunes. Tresh is active since 2001 and is known on the web for his remixes of Hybrid, Daft Punk and Chis Cornell’s Casino Royale Title. In 2007, he signed on the US label Krispy Beatz Recording, releasing fresh nu skool break tunes. Bloop started his own tracks at the same time, also mixing house and evolved to harder sounds (electro, minimal). They met as early as 2001 and since had the chance to DJ together in some of the biggest clubs in Paris.

Their first release W3 L1k3 Th1s confirmed their love for electro house sound and succeeded in burning the dance-floors. Tiga and Daft Punk being major influences for this track.

Pinball Ride Theme is their second collaboration, and got praised by players is now available on iTunes. The track was listened to by more than 2 million people while playing the game.

Just discovered and bought Pinball Ride for my HTC Desire HD. I was blown away! I never expected this was possible on my phone! I just LOVE the 3D flipper view. I don’t understand why this game isn’t THE biggest news right now and THE biggest Android hit right now…! Absolutely great stuff.

[Update 22/12/2010] Reference to aLogCat in crash problems.
[Update 28/12/2010] Installation solution provided by Filippo.
[Update 09/01/2011] Installation solution provided by Rowland.
[Update 22/02/2011] We’ve released Pinball Ride 1.1, please update your version.
While most players report that the game works well on their device, we got reported a few problems. Most are not related to the game, but to the Android Market.

First: Check Device Compatibility List

Here are the issues we try to address:

  1. The game does not download.
  2. The game does not install.
  3. The game says that the license is not valid and quits.
  4. The game loads then exits.
  5. The game displays a white screen.
  6. I cannot edit my Profile name.
