Gameplay

Flipnic features a wide variety of virtual pinball tables, some with realistic physics, others with antigravity, vertical climbs and other variations. [2]

Reception

In 2011, Flipnic was listed in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die , where it was described as "a video game concept album about pinball games." [7]

Writing on Games Asylum, Matt Gander praised it, saying "Gravity and realistic ball physics were thrown out the window, in favour of tables filled with loops and rollercoaster-style tracks for balls to whizz around in," but noted the tendency of the game to crash. [8]
