A hidden feature that allows you to play pinball in the iOS version of the Google app is discovered



It turned out that the iOS version of the Google app has a hidden function (Easter egg) that allows you to play pinball. I was able to play it with the Japanese version of the Google app, so I played and checked what kind of game it was actually.

Actually, you can see how to play pinball with the Japanese iOS version Google app by watching the following movie.

I tried playing 'Pinball' hidden in the iOS version of the Google app-YouTube


Playing pinball with the iOS version of the Google app is easy. First, with all tabs closed, tap 'Tab' at the bottom right.



If you wait for a few seconds, colorful blocks will appear from the bottom of the screen ...



Swipe the screen to pull up the block.



Then, the pinball play screen opened. The remaining aircraft are displayed in the upper left of the screen, and you can see that there are three remaining aircraft at the start. The number displayed in the upper right is the score, and there is a flipper that repels the ball at the bottom of the screen.



The way to play is a little different from normal pinball, where you hit the ball against the block floating on the stage and erase it.



When the ball hits the block ...



It shrank and became smaller.



When I hit the ball on the same block again, this time it snapped and disappeared.



Hit the ball against the block to erase it and the score will increase.



When the ball falls ...



The remaining machines are reduced and play is resumed with a new ball.



Some blocks have special effects. For example, if you erase the red star block ...



The ball turned red.



The red ball is stronger than a normal ball, and it is possible to erase a block that would not disappear unless it is hit twice, but only by hitting it once.



Also, if you erase the yellow star block ...



This time the ball is bigger. Larger balls reduce the risk of falling and make it easier to play.



As the game progresses, you'll see a bounce bar on the outer edge of the stage and a bumper in the center.



The game is over when the remaining machines reach 0. You can play from the beginning again by tapping the replay button.



In addition, the iOS version of Google's pinball could be played even when offline with no internet access.
