An original sci-fi pinball machine. Inspired by 80s classics.
Developed over 3 years. Game-tested by thousands.
Dark Chaos drops you behind the stick of Earth's last defense ship, fighting off relentless meteor waves and an alien onslaught. It's an homage to the 80s arcade era, with meteor-defense gameplay, vibrant graphics, and synth-driven action. Rebuilt as a modern pinball machine with deep rules, original art, voiceover, and a custom synth score.

What it plays like.
The gameplay is a perfect balance of accessibility and addictiveness. Collect power-ups to survive escalating meteor waves: proton cannons, cluster bombs, moon missiles, shields, and time warp. Complete training to earn power-ups faster, chase mini wizard modes when fully loaded, and survive it all to start the Final Wave and save Earth. Original voiceover, blood pumping synth-metal score, and signature shots designed to feel like 1985 in the best possible way.
