Several years and close to ten games later, I still don't think the name fits because nothing about any of their games is actually mediocre. PinOut! ReviewĪ long, long time ago (at least it feels that way), I once made a comment about how inappropriate the name 'Mediocre' was for this particular developer. If you like mobile games designed to be played in short or long bursts, or even if you just like pinball, it's something worth checking out. It looks great, plays great, flows from one level to the next great, and makes for a fun twist on a pretty old game. It does feel a teensy bit too easy to accurately guide the ball, but other than that PinOut is a treat. You'll still have to knock the ball back through the exit path to get back to where you were, but you don't lose outright. Instead, it will just roll back to the previous board.
Don't fret if your paddle misses the ball, unlike regular pinball you don't lose if the ball falls between the paddles. Use this opportunity to figure out which route you want to take - and preferably aim for the one with all the time-increasing pellet things in it. You can often see the next board from the current one, as well as the paths leading to it. And, of course, the tip of the paddle will push the ball towards the reverse outer edge of the board (left from the right paddle, right from the left). More towards the center will knock the ball towards the center of the board. The base (where it turns) will launch the ball towards the outside of the board (left for the left paddle, right for the right). 
Where the ball is along the paddle's edge when you flip will determine where it goes. By holding a paddle up as the ball rolls towards it, you can stop its motion in order to better control and line up your next shot. It's an age-old pinball trick, but still a very good one. Fortunately they're usually in conveniently placed groups. These Pac-Man looking pellets will add time to the clock, giving you a better chance to keep going. 
Try to get a feel for how everything is set up and plan your approach. Each board will get increasingly complex as you move forward, with all sorts of dead ends and exits to watch out for.
