Description

Invite your users to live an immersive experience with a 100% customizable pinball machine designed using the colors of your brand. Users are invited to launch the ball onto the pinball table and operate the flippers to keep it in play for as long as possible. This addictive mechanism is an excellent way of promoting your brand and products.

Game design

The Pinball contains a lot of visual elements to create. To save time, we advise you to download the PSD file containing all these elements:

This file is also available directly from the editor, in the "Appearance" section :

Page setup

First of all, click on ' New Campaign' and select the Pinball mechanism.

You will reach the campaign editor, where you will find the mechanism's 5 pages: Form, Instructions, Pinball, Result page and the end of campaign page. If you want, you can also add a teaser page and/or an end of campaign page. Set up your campaign settings now, by entering the campaign dates and importing the Rules and Privacy Policy.

Background image setup

Upload your desktop background images by clicking on the '+' icon under ' Background Image'.

To find out the graphics specifications for this module's background images, please check the 'Game design' section in this article.

You can also add a solid background color to surround your game pages - you can keep the default color or standardize your campaign with a color that reflects your brand or your game pages, for instance.

Game settings

Number of participation: set the number of games per day, week, month, campaign, or user; then create and select your 'Already Played' page. If users try to replay the game, they will be redirected to this page. Ideally, we recommend one game per day in order to encourage users to return to your campaign on a regular basis.

Chronometer: to add difficulty, you can choose to add a chronometer and to set up a time.

Number of lives: set the player's number of lives. The number of lives is equal to the number of balls a user can put into play.

Result Pages: select 'Display Result Page' so that users can find out whether they have won or not. Accordingly, adjust the number of 'Won', 'Lost' and 'Already Played' pages.

Customizing the appearance

Upload the following elements: Ball, table, circular bumper, "T" bumpers, top bumpers, left sling-shot, right sling-shot, left pinball, right pinball, hole, top launcher, spring launcher, light effect, left ramp, right ramp, teleporter.

By clicking on “Advanced Option” you can customize the text that appears in the intro sequence in multi-ball mode and at the end of the game.

Editing and preview settings

By clicking on the game area in the editor, you will be able to access the game preview as well as the edition of the game dimensions (to best integrate your game in a mobile application).

Mobile version setup

Once your desktop campaign has been set up, you must switch to Mobile view in order to import the dedicated background images and format your pages for this device. To import Mobile background images, follow the same procedure as for Desktop backgrounds.

Campaign launch and test

Once the desktop and mobile versions have been finalized, you can publish the campaign. Don't forget to check your campaign.
