Those of us who wanted serious business and strong highscores though played the Bethesda Pinball tables instead, which were released within Pinball FX last December. There were several flippers placed throughout the big and widely spread out playfield that were all controlled by tiny computer people powering our shots. A little smaller in scope but incredibly charming was the winter wonderland that we could explore via our snowy silverballs: Snowball! by Pixeljam was a hidden objects pinball game presented in a lovely pixel art style with a lot of attention to detail. Last Christmas, we have been blown away by the glam-retro action of the ascending pinball game PinOut! by Swedish indie studio Mediocre.
At the end of 2016, we had a bunch of interesting releases that helped us coping with the cold winter days and start off the new year.
