Pinball Party on Game Boy is one of those games that just feels right in your hands—like it was made for those chunky buttons. You start with that satisfying thwack of launching the ball, and suddenly you're bouncing between bumpers, trying not to tilt the thing like an overeager kid at the arcade.

The tables are simple but sneaky—what looks like basic ramps and targets turns into chaos once you get the ball rolling fast. I kept losing mine down the sides at first, but after a few rounds, you start nailing those last-second flipper saves. No fancy gimmicks, just solid pinball that nails the vibe of those old machines.

It’s the kind of game you play in quick bursts, then realize you’ve burned through an hour trying to beat your high score. Perfect for killing time on a bus ride or when you just need to zone out for a bit.
