Think I could get Lilith's number?
Going to go out on a limb and say developer Wiznwar really liked Devil's Crush, because this sure looks like a send up to Demon's Crush. Even the name is about as close as you could get without being litigious, like how 1/6 scale figure bootleggers will rename licensed characters. This is clearly The Green Goblin from the Raimi Spider-Man movies, but please, if you would just refer to him as The Fiend.
Demon's Tilt is set up in an interesting way with its very long, very vertical table, which is divided into three tiers with their own demons and unique set of "rituals." These rituals are required to make progress, but mostly amount to the typical pinball stuff of hitting x number of bumpers or getting the ball up a certain ramp. Where the game really shines is in its presentation. The sprite art is excellent and the soundtrack is extremely invocative of the Yamaha YM2612. However, I can image some people finding this game to be a tad unreadable with how far back the camera is and how many effects are popping off. Without tweaking some settings, you might find it a little too easy to lose track of your ball, although zooming in and adding a trailing effect does help tremendously.
Unlike Flipnic and Akira Psycho Ball, there is no progression between tables. You just get the one, and that's fine. Each tier offers enough to keep the game exciting, and while I may not find myself sitting down and committing serious time to playing this thing, it is perfect if you want to kill an hour or so on a lazy afternoon. Just be careful about what order you complete rituals, it is possible to summon an actual pinball demon. He refuses to leave my home, he's already consumed a whole entire priest, and he's set up a Black Night 3000 table in my bedroom and plays it all hours of the night. Flames and spiders poured from his mandibles as he told me in a dead tongue that I'll be cast into Pinball Hell and damned to play Shaq Attack until my fingers whittle to bone, I hate him!!
