Now most of the graphics are done, and the sound track & BGM completed, we are doing the final adjustment. Please find this icon at Apple App Store in June.
It’s really cute and happy, as well as challenging pinball game. It will bring you hours of joy, as well as happy minutes for the small pieces of spare time.
We are very happy for the results of the reborn of Tristan, twenty years after the first release for Mac. Especially I love it’s “Rock’n’play” mode. (Thanks Jeremy for naming the mode, you’re awesome!) You’ll love it too, I bet.

Congratulations! I can’t wait to see this in the App Store. I’ve been disappointed in the pinball games available so far and this will make a great addition, and I hope it is very successfull for you. It didn’t seem to take you too long, will you be porting Crystal Caliburn (was that the next one chronologically?) or any of your other pinball games?
Hi Greg, Thank you! Yeah we’re planning on porting other titles. The next one was Eight Ball Deluxe which was the remake of the best selling real arcade machine from Bally. We may need an agent as It requires dealing with the license issue. Does anyone know a good agent?
This is wonderful news, I cannot wait! Screens look VERY nice. I like how the score appears to have been inspired by the old TOMY “Atomic Arcade Pinball” toy back in the late 70s early 80s. If it wasn’t intended, it’s a nice touch nevertheless. Looks like I’ll be able to snap this up before the family and I move back to Northern Japan!
Hi Fujibayashi san,
Thanks and you know it! We’ve tried to combine good old Tristan and the wonderful toy. The code name for the development was “Toy Tristan”. 😉
very nice…..Tristan for iPad…wow!
Hey John,
Thanks, it reminds of us the good old days, doesn’t it? I think of them quite a lot these days, such as the sandwich of the next door of your studio was good 😉 Let us know what you think on it when it’s out!

The screen shots look amazing! You’ve done really nice work bringing Tristan into the “3D” world. I’m looking forward to getting it. Are you making it a universal app (one app for both the iPad and iPhone)?
Hi Jay,
Thanks, we are really excited to see Tristan in 3D world too! Yes, It’s a universal app, for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch 🙂
I really hope, now that you have a new engine for Tristan, that *maybe* there;s a chance it will be available for OSX.. i have never been comfortable squinting to see a tiny ball on a phone screen.. and i have been waiting soo patiently… OSX has been around for , 11 years now?
And I must say, the new one looks *really* good..
Hi Doccus,
Thanks for your love for our pinball! Sorry for keeping you waiting, please know we are so small and have to create everything by only two people… One at a time, that what we can do. 🙂
PPS i guess you have decided on a new icon for Tristan, but you should really see the one i have been using ..I’ll post it on my blog…
That’s a nice one!
Just bought it in the iOS App Store for my iPad and iPhone, works perfectly, and handles like a dream!
left a link at Toucharcade.com to hopefully spread a little word around, and rated this beauty 5 stars. A wonderful first release, looking forward to your other tables if/when they come. Thanks, LittleWing!!! Addicted to your pinballs for YEARS now!
Hi Fujibayashi-san,
Thank you so much for your great love for our pinball! We really appreciate your contribution. We’ve visited Toucharcade.com and so impressed, it’s WOW. Please tell our thanks to everybody who loves Tristan.
You perfectly understand what we intended…yeah, we wanted to create a sweet pinball dream. 🙂
I just bought it on the app store and I’m thrilled. Please do bring more titles to iOS, including Eight Ball Deluxe! Chalk’em up!
Hi David,
Thank you for purchasing Tristan! For Eight Ball Deluxe, we really need a good agent to get a license from Bally. It will require quite a lot of efforts and costs, but we’d like to try in future. 😉
After spending about a week with Tristan, it’s become my favorite pinball app. There’s a simplicity to it that makes it easy to play, yet it’s not at all easy to score. I appreciate the care you took with little details like the intro screen, and I like how the machine looks like a child’s toy. Congratulations on a wonderful game!
Hi Jay,
Thanks a lot! We’re so happy to know it became your favorite. Original Tristan has been loved for 20 years, it’s truly amazing. We hope Pinball Tristan will be loved in the same way!
While you are waiting on licensing stuff from Bally consider this another vote for Crystal Caliburn for iOS!
It is so great to see you guys do an iOS pinball game. None of the existing ones ever felt like a real pinball machine but of course your’s feels perfect.
Having both Golden Logres and Crystal Caliburn on iOS would make my mobile pinball life complete. 🙂
Hi Jamie,
Thank you for your encouraging message! Sure, more to come, we hope you’ll enjoy all 😉
