Pinball by MiddleSiggy

A pinball game for Android and iPhone by SiggySoft LLC, with three tables. Channel Climb takes MiddleSiggy's video channel from its first upload to one million subscribers. Rodeo Roy, added in version 1.2.0, rides from the county fair to champion of the rodeo. Chaos Wrangler, added in version 1.3.0, spends a wild year outdoors with James: his beehives, swarms, archery and the trophy buck.

How it plays

Swipe through the tables on the first screen, then tap the left or right half of the screen to flip. Every bumper, lane, ramp and target earns points and fills the bar at the top of the screen: subscribers on Channel Climb, fans on Rodeo Roy, bees on Chaos Wrangler. Fill the bar to reach the next level: the table changes colour and gains new things to hit. Each table keeps its own best scores and leaderboards.

Made to be forgiving

Each ball starts with a ball save (20 seconds on level 1, 15 after), so an early drain comes straight back. Both outlanes have a kickback that shoots the ball back into play, relit by rolling through the S-U-B lanes. Every new level adds an extra ball, and the game remembers the highest level you reached so the next game can start there. Practice mode hands you a new ball every time one drains.

Leaderboards, if you want them

Players 13 and older can share their scores on daily, weekly, monthly and all-time boards, here on siggysoft.org and inside the game. Leaderboard names are picked from a word list, such as Lucky Comet; nobody types a name, and when two players pick the same words the second gets a number, like Lucky Comet 2. The server replays every game from its recorded flipper presses before its score goes on a board, so a made-up score stays off. Sharing is off until you turn it on, and turning it off deletes your scores. See the boards, or every SiggySoft game's boards.

Holiday tables

Since version 1.5.0 every table dresses up for the holidays, 17 of them since 1.5.2, from New Year's Day to Christmas: in the week before each one, and all of December for Christmas. Run the ball into the holiday props and they go off: snowmen burst into snow, Fourth of July rockets take off as fireworks, Easter eggs hatch a chick, pumpkins spill candy. There is falling snow and autumn leaves, holiday music, and a greeting from MiddleSiggy, Roy or James. Memorial Day and Veterans Day are kept quiet and respectful. On the other days the tables follow the seasons: autumn leaves, snow on some winter days, summer sunshine and birds, spring blossoms and butterflies. None of it ever changes a score, and Settings can turn on a reminder for the morning each one starts.

Made for this game

Each table has a glossy printed playfield made for this game with image models on SiggySoft's own computers, starring MiddleSiggy, Rodeo Roy or James, with chrome rails, glowing bumpers and inserts, light shows and two flashers. MiddleSiggy (since version 1.4.0) and James and Rodeo Roy (since 1.5.3) talk in their own voices, cloned from their recordings with their permission. The dot-matrix display, the sound effects and the music are made by the game's own code as it runs. There are no ads, no tracking and no account.

Real pinball machines have no levels: they use modes, multiball and a final "wizard mode". Video pinball added stages, from the three tables of Kirby's Pinball Land (1993) to the four levels of Sonic Spinball (1993). Channel Climb uses five stages, each one a channel milestone.

The five events of Rodeo Roy

The same table with rodeo rules: the bumpers are barrels, the top lanes spell R-O-Y and the targets are lucky horseshoes. Each level is a rodeo event with its own game, and Rodeo Roy cheers you on out loud.

The five seasons of Chaos Wrangler

James, the Chaos Wrangler, keeps bees and hunts deer. On his table the bumpers are beehives, the top lanes spell B-E-E, the targets are for musket practice and the score counts bees. James talks you through each season. The bow and the musket are only ever fired at targets, and the buck is stalked and spotted, never hurt.

Installing the Android download

Until Pinball by MiddleSiggy is on Google Play, Android asks you to allow the install once.

  1. Open this page on the phone in Chrome and tap Download for Android.
  2. When the download finishes, tap Open, or find MiddleSiggyPinball-1.5.3.apk in the Files app under Downloads.
  3. If Android says the phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source, tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, then go back.
  4. Tap Install.

If Google Play Protect says it does not recognize the app, tap More details, then Install anyway. A newer version installs over the old one and keeps your levels, best games and leaderboard name; version 1.0.2 and later install over Siggy Pinball 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.

Privacy

Without the leaderboards, the game sends nothing anywhere. With them, it sends the name you picked and the result and replay of each game; the privacy policy lists every item, and this page explains how to delete your leaderboard data.

  • Holiday reminders: turn them on in Settings and the phone tells you on the morning each holiday's tables start. Nothing is sent anywhere.
  • Fixed: tapping Play right after picking a table could drop the new game back to the menu.

Version 1.4.0 · 2026-10-28

  • The Deluxe Channel Climb table: a glossy printed playfield with MiddleSiggy in the middle, chrome rails, and bumpers and inserts that glow.

  • Leaderboard names are unique: the first player to pick a name has it, and the next one gets a number, like Lucky Comet 2. The name screen shows which one you would get.
  • The server checks every score by playing the game again from its replay, so made-up scores stay off the boards.
  • The boards show who moved up or down since yesterday, last week or last month.
