Multimorphic reveals Heist gameplay for P3 platform with innovative crane mechanic and crew-building ruleset.
Heist is a new game for the P3 Pinball platform with a heist/Ocean's 11 theme set in the 1990s.
high confidence · Jerry (Multimorphic representative) speaking on stream about the new game Heist
The game features a mechanical crane that moves left/right, up/down, and extends down the playfield, holding the ball during modes.
high confidence · Jerry demonstrating the crane during gameplay and explaining its mechanics
Heist includes a third flipper on a completely separate button, which is brand new for the P3 platform.
high confidence · Jerry explaining the flipper configuration during gameplay
The game is designed to be set in the 1990s era with all references based on that time period.
high confidence · Jerry answering a chat question about the game's era
The game had planned debut at Texas Pinball Festival but streaming from home instead due to supply chain and current situation changes.
high confidence · Jerry explaining the circumstances of the gameplay reveal stream
Heist is not code complete; wizard mode is in development and currently disabled, but most other features are implemented.
high confidence · Jerry responding to question about code completion status
The game has five character modes, four different heist configurations (2-5 person heists), and five multiballs total.
high confidence · Jerry explaining the mode structure and counting modes during gameplay
All P3 games support a profile system enabling co-op and team play, which will be added to Heist though not yet completed.
high confidence · Jerry answering question about co-op support
“The crane just came out for a bash. I hit him, and he opened up the jail cell in the middle of the playfield for a side job.”
Jerry (Multimorphic)@ 17:47 — Explains the crane mechanic's role in triggering gameplay elements
“This game has very flowy ramps and loops, and it does count up combo shots, but the way you collect the combo is you have to hit a side loop shot.”
Jerry (Multimorphic)@ 18:51 — Key design philosophy about combo collection mechanics
“Cat Burglar is probably the most interestingly coded mode because it integrates the crane in a neat way to do the whole Mission Impossible style thing.”
Jerry (Multimorphic)@ 29:15 — Reveals creative design integration of crane with thematic mode concepts
“We have all the modes implemented we have a lot of multi balls implemented we have side jobs implemented. The wizard mode is in development. It's not fully implemented yet so it's currently disabled.”
Jerry (Multimorphic)@ 23:19 — Direct statement on code completion and feature status
“The P3 is a multi-game system. The back portion of the play field is a physical module. You can lift that whole module out of the machine, and you can change it up.”
Jerry (Multimorphic)@ 34:37 — Explains the modular architecture that enables Multimorphic's multi-game strategy
“The game is based in the 90s. All of the references are based in the 90s.”
Jerry (Multimorphic)@ 24:50 — Confirms the game's thematic setting and design era
