Kineticist’s take
Triple Drain debates Spooky's new horror/sci-fi games: design ambitions vs. execution uncertainty.
Synopsis
Triple Drain Podcast hosts Joel, Travis, and Tom discuss the Spooky Pinball Halloween and Ultraman releases, focusing on design philosophy concerns around flow, scoop mechanics, playfield layout, and the absence of early gameplay footage. They debate whether the multi-tiered playfields constitute true 'flow-based' pinball and speculate on code quality as the determining factor for long-term game success, while praising the art direction and sales performance.
