Pinball Wizard is a dungeon crawler mixed with pinball mechanics. You're a wizard clearing tower levels. Each level is a circular field (or multiple circles connected by ramps) with two flippers in the bottom (where you come into the level) and sometimes other flippers. Use your flippers to maneuver, hit bad guys to kill them, avoid enemy shots, pick up coins, experience and mana.

You use coins to buy and upgrade powers such as shooting a lightning bolt or getting more rewards for certain actions. The enemies vary from slime that is easy to kill to bats that drop bombs, spiders that web up a flipper, and spiky whirlers that have to be hit when they rest.

It's an interesting hybrid. The pinball physics don't always seem quite right and I had more difficulty than normal because I wasn't using my special powers (there are two extra buttons to activate your two active powers). I think even if you're a bad player you can progress by grinding for gold to buy up your passive powers. I played it for a few hours before I got bored.
