Ads, Continues and Remove Ads
Pinball Defense Force is free to play, with ads shown between games to support development. When you lose your last ball, you can watch a short ad to keep your run going instead of starting over.
If you would rather not see ads at all, the round NO ADS button on the home screen opens a one-time Remove Ads purchase ($2.99). It removes every ad permanently, and continues still work — without the ad. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I see ads?
Pinball Defense Force is free to download and play, and ads help support development. If you prefer to play without them, the one-time Remove Ads purchase turns them off for good.
Are there any in-app purchases?
One, and it is entirely optional: Remove Ads, $2.99, a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. It removes all ads, including the ad on continues. The rest of the game is free.
I bought Remove Ads and the ads came back
Tap the NO ADS button on the home screen and choose Restore Purchases, signed in with the same Apple Account you bought it with. Purchases restore free of charge on any device you own.
How does "continue" work?
When you lose your last ball, you'll be offered the option to watch a short ad and keep playing from where you left off, instead of starting a new game.
My score isn't showing up on the leaderboard
Make sure you're signed into Game Center and connected to the internet when your game ends—scores are submitted to the leaderboard automatically.
Will I lose my high score if I get a new phone?
Your best score is saved on your device, so it doesn't automatically transfer to a new device. If you're signed into Game Center, your leaderboard ranking stays tied to your Game Center account.
