REVIEW
Cookie Pinball is a sweet-themed time-killer for the LG remote.
A free, casual pinball table from Desoline Inc. — confectionery dressing on a basic webOS pinball loop, designed for short sessions with the Magic Remote.

Cookie Pinball is the kind of app that justifies the LG Content Store’s long tail — a small free game with a single table, a candy-shop coat of paint, and no real ambition beyond filling a couple of minutes between something you actually wanted to watch. Desoline Inc. has a modest catalogue of these lightweight casual titles, and Cookie Pinball is squarely in the middle of it.
The game does what its name promises and not much more. There is one table, the flippers respond to the Magic Remote, and a session ends about when you’d expect it to. Nothing about it is broken; nothing about it is memorable. For a free TV install on a platform where the games shelf trends toward streaming-service tie-ins and cloud-gaming front-ends, that places it firmly in the “harmless time-killer” bucket.
The honest read on Cookie Pinball is that pinball is a genre that wants tactile input and low-latency physics tuning, and a smart-TV remote game with one table is unlikely to clear that bar. It doesn’t. For two minutes of free distraction it’s fine; for anything more, look elsewhere.
Cookie Pinball asks little and gives back about the same — a free pinball table dressed in icing, played a few minutes at a time.
FEATURES
Cookie Pinball is a single-table casual pinball game wrapped in a cookie-and-candy visual theme. Launch the ball, work the flippers, rack up points, repeat. The Magic Remote handles flipper input; there's no multi-table progression, no career mode, no online leaderboards exposed at the platform level.
The game is free with no listed price tier, and it sits in the broader LG Content Store casual-game shelf alongside other lightweight Desoline titles. There is no description text, screenshot tour, or release-note history surfaced through krawl's snapshot for this app.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Free is free. Cookie Pinball loads, plays a recognisable pinball loop, and doesn't ask for an account or an in-app purchase to do it. For LG TV owners idly browsing the games section, that's a low-friction install for the kind of two-minute session a TV remote is actually suited to.
The cookie theme is at least a coherent aesthetic choice rather than the usual generic-space-pinball default.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
This is a thin product. One table, no progression, no meaningful depth, and physics that feel approximate rather than tuned. A serious pinball player won't find anything here that a dedicated mobile pinball app — Pinball Arcade, Zen Pinball, even the homebrew Space Cadet port — doesn't do better.
The bigger structural problem: TV-pinball is a hard fit. Pinball wants tactile, low-latency input, and a TV remote is none of those things. Cookie Pinball doesn't solve that problem; it just exists inside it.
CONCLUSION
Install it if you want a free, no-commitment casual game on your LG TV and the cookie aesthetic appeals. Skip it if you actually like pinball — phone or tablet ports of real pinball games will serve you better. Worth keeping an eye on whether Desoline expands the table list; right now there's not enough here to come back to.
