“For a game that's made for a company, almost exclusively, you put a lot of really fun, awesome shots on this thing.”
Fosma (Code Designer)@ 9:41 — Reflects pride in achieving quality gameplay despite commercial/branded constraints.
“As far as I know, this is the first ever, air quote, commercial game...designed from the ground up for a company.”
Jack Danger@ 9:57 — Establishes the Domino's machine as a unique milestone in Spooky Pinball's portfolio and possibly the industry.

Designer and Jack Danger@ 11:44 — Highlights different design philosophies between Spooky's recent titles; Domino's prioritizes flow similar to classic Steve Ritchie designs.
“I have done the best I can. There's things I wish we had a little more time to iron out, but that's always going to be the case no matter what the game.”
Fosma@ 9:49 — Acknowledges time constraints on commercial project but expresses satisfaction with the result.
“A portion of the proceeds going to Domino Partners Foundation, which is their in-house charity...If you work for Domino's and you have an issue, the Partners Foundation is a wonderful foundation that will help you.”
