"It's a pinball game with a story!" says the advertisement, unfortunately, it fails in both departments.It's very cute visually and I've had"It's a pinball game with a story!" says the advertisement, unfortunately, it fails in both departments.It's very cute visually and I've had fun playing for 30 minutes it takes to beat this game, but everything else just drags it down.The game is segmented in 9 stages (with some bonus minigames,) which takes about half an hour to go through once and the main replay value of it is in the challenges (5 per stage.) The problem with that is twofold: Not only the gameplay itself is flawed, with stiff physics and a ball that can often slow down to the crawl, making it really tedious to play through each stage at least 5 times. But also, the challenges more often than not require precise hits on specific spots on the map, which is completely normal for pinball games, and would be fine if not for the aforementioned lacking physics, and the stage design which is fun to go through in the story mode, but makes it really annoying when you have to restart the level over and over again because you've accidentally progressed too far in the stage. It's just tiresome, especially if we include the Steam achievements, which consist mostly of mindless and uninteresting busywork.As for the plot, it's basically a very simplified Pixar-like story, about a squirrel trained by Kung-Fu Panda on a quest to beat evil Owls. There's not much of it but it serves its purpose despite leaving many holes left to be filled. Of course, it's not a proper movie, so there's no need for it to be fully fleshed out. It takes you from point A to point B while sometimes being entertaining and silly.It's cute, that's enough.What isn't enough is the way it ends. Due to its gameplay issues I was already on the verge of giving it a negative score, but then I've arrived at the final level, defeated the Big Bad Boss (where the difficulty finally spiked up a little bit,) and was ready to receive my happy ending. But instead of that what appeared out of nowhere was even Bigger Badder Boss and I was slapped in the face with "To Be Continued" achievement, which on top of everything else, left a bad aftertaste in my mouth.As it turns out, this was supposed to be an episodic game. Though, the only way you would actually know that beforehand, is if you would accidentally enter the leaderboards where they're showing you scores for "Episode 1." Nowhere else in the game, nor on the steam page, you would get an idea that this isn't a complete game, or even if any sequels are coming out...And at this point, several years later, I doubt we'll see any.

Momonga Pinball Adventures offers us a funny game aimed fundamentally at a children audience with a quite scarce content for what we could expect from it.

Momonga was a true joy to play and a real hidden gem in the ID@Xbox program. For a game that can be completed within an hour, it has so much variation and puts some 30-hour open world games to shame. Couple this with the cliff-hanger ending and the game will keep you guessing at what’s next.

A funny adventure and pinball mix, with a captivating main character and lots of challenges. It lacks on content though, but its price is low enough to recommend it to the more curious gamers.

It has some good things going for it, and is a relatively interesting take on arcade pinball, but it’s just so damned short and lacking in many departments.
