Someone on that Facebook page asked, "Will this be available on Google Play?????", and Pro Pinball replied with "Yes."

I was just able to download it from Amazon (indeed for free) using the link I just added to my first post. I don't see it yet in Google Play.

The download from Amazon worked onto my both Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) and onto my wife's Kindle Fire HDX. I got an Unavailable message when I tried to get it for my pretty old Kindle Fire HD, which makes sense since this particular Fire of mine has an older generation processor.

Yep I'm downloading it now. Was more of a pain to get onto my tablet than my 'phone, because of different Amazon apps (and possibly different set ups from Samsung / LG?)

Can't say I know what it means either. I've never played any of the Pro Pinball games before. But free is free is free, so I'm not going to pass it up.

Playing on Galaxy S5 on high detail setting is laggy, such a shame as runs much better on my old iPad.
For the record I'd rather buy outright then play for free on Amazon Underground.

The Amazon page says, "Pro Pinball, the world's most realistic pinball simulation is back, better than ever! Featuring the first of the ULTRA editions - Pro Pinball: Timeshock!"

So, this does appear to be one of the long awaited results from the July-Sept 2013 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/500643708/pro-pinball-timeshock-the-ultra-edition-0/description

It's extremely late since Pro Pinball producer predicted the following during the Kickstarter, "Please note that we will need more time to develop these other versions, so they are likely to be released either Q1 or Q2 of 2014."

Plays okay at Medium on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0" (4.4.2), albeit it was starting to show some slowdowns in multi-balls. Now, if someone would actually tell me how to play this game....

Why do you have to get the Amazon "Underground" version? Why can't I just buy it outright from the regular Amazon Appstore?

Yes, very stupid. I've tried to uninstall the Amazon Underground app after the timeshock installation. Not possible. Anyway, the Android is not my platform, still waiting for the PC version...

As I understand it, Underground replaced the main Amazon shopping app, not the regular Amazon Appstore. Besides the (in my opinion important) issues with it having even more intrusive permissions than the regular Amazon Appstore, it isn't compatible with a LOT of Android devices. Ironically, Underground won't even run on a number of Amazon devices (Fire TV Stick, old Kindle Fire, etc.). Frankly, I hope the Underground stays separate from the main Amazon Appstore. I would rather pay for software and not be monitored/datamined as much. Sadly, this seems to be the industry trend and even MS has gotten onboard.

Maybe I'll just wait for the PC version. I hope one is coming.

On Android, there is a new Amazon App Store that combines the App Store and "traditional" shopping app (though there is still a separate shopping App). This has replaced the old App Store app. "Underground" is part of this new Amazon App Store.

The new App isn't actually called "Amazon Underground". It's just called "Amazon", because it combines the old App Store, the new Underground section, and the "traditional" shopping app.
