The graphics of the game are generally considered basic and simplistic, lacking options for resolution changes or meaningful tweaks, which may disappoint enthusiasts. While some effort is evident in the visuals, they do not stand out in the current gaming landscape, and opinions on the art style vary significantly. In contrast, one reviewer praised the graphics and realistic physics in a specific context, highlighting a positive aspect amidst the overall criticism.
- “The graphics are great and the physics are incredibly realistic, making each shot feel like a real pinball machine.”
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
- “The game features simple, fairly basic 2D visuals, and while some effort went into them, they don't look bad exactly, but they don't look great, either.”
- “In the 3D era of gaming, which kicked off in the mid-1990s with dedicated 3D GPUs like the S3 Virge and ATI Rage, phoning in the graphics like this isn't going to win any awards or appeal to enthusiast PC gamers.”

The game's music has been criticized for its lack of audio controls, preventing players from adjusting or turning off the background music and sound effects independently. Reviewers found the music uninteresting and lacking diversity, contributing to an overall limited experience in the game.
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
- “Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying sound/background music; you'll need to alt+tab out and stop it using the Windows sound mixer.”
- “There is no way to adjust sound effects and music independently.”
- “Tracks are not very interesting to play, not much music diversity, and it's just a surprisingly limited pinball game.”

Gameplay is marked by a mix of engaging variety through nine distinct table game mini-modes, each offering unique challenges. However, random visual effects, such as intrusive camera zooms and obstructions, detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration rather than enhancing strategy.
- “The 9 different table game mini-modes provide a variety of challenges, and each one has its own special gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is engaging and keeps you on your toes with its unique mechanics and challenges.”
- “The controls are intuitive, making it easy to pick up and play while still offering depth for experienced players.”
- “Not to mention the random effects that would happen sometimes where the camera would zoom in close on the ball, or there would be fog on the table or multiple black bars blocking your vision. These elements didn't add anything to gameplay or strategy; they just made the whole experience more annoying!”

The story aspect is perceived as lacking depth, with players expressing a desire for a more engaging and fast-paced experience rather than being bogged down by slow gameplay mechanics. The overarching moral reflects resilience and perseverance in the face of challenges, suggesting that the narrative could benefit from a more dynamic and fulfilling structure.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
