About Black Flaggers Pinball
Black Flaggers Pinball invites you on a pirate’s journey of plundering loot, swashbuckling adventures and cannon wielding foes. Wicked pinball mechanics and magnificent ball rolling physics running on a cutting edge engine: The next-generation pinball experience.
The game is inspired by the pinball classics of the last century and the advanced lighting effects seen in the fantastic modern pinballs over the last years. Black Flaggers is a pinball simulation that is true to its roots, yet enriched by an environment not limited by mechanical representations.
The playfield, toys, characters and environment create a lush and vibrant pirate world brimming with life and adventure.
Formslingers, a berlin based two brothers team, created a cutting edge pinball simulation system based on Epic’s awesome Unreal® Engine 4 featuring highly accurate physics, a modular gameplay system and a fully dynamic specialized lighting and effects system, capable of sequencing hundreds of dynamic lights.
With the Black Flaggers Pinball Kickstarter campaign, they are seeking funding (€15k) to commit the coming months exclusively to the completion and polishing of the game.
