Special Features

  • Does not copy existing IP
    All content is either Public Domain, Creative Commons, original creations by our contributors, or temporary AI-generated assets.
  • Something for everyone
    While the Judgment wizard modes are very hard to achieve, this game features several mini-wizard modes and other modes for the less-experienced enthusiasts.
  • 7 possible Final (Judgment) Wizard Modes
    Most pinball games have a single final Wizard mode that you get for completing the table. Saving Wallden has 7; you get one depending on how you played the game. Complete the game, get a final wizard, and come back again to try for a different one!
  • Tournament-friendly randomness
    Use a different seed number to get a different experience! You can either have the game select a seed at random (the default), or you can manually set one in the table script. When you use a manual seed, every game using the same seed gets the same order of modes, multiballs, and shots.
  • Ability to save/resume games
    Have you ever seen a pinball table that can resume a game in progress if you exit VPX (or VPX crashes)? Saving Wallden can do that!
  • The "diamond" of objectives
    The diamond in the center of the playfield indicates your main objectives (and their progress). You have 7 primary objectives (with their own mini-wizards), a final boss battle, and one of 7 Judgment Wizards if you complete the final boss battle.
  • A plethora of modes
    For example, the CASTLE objective is your modes (training sessions). There are 25 in total, but you only have to play 9 to complete the objective. The sessions that you get depend on the seed number. And many sessions also vary their shots depending on the seed. Additionally, you get to fight a mini-boss after every 3 training sessions.
  • Many multiball variations
    For example, the SNIPER objective is your main multiball. Each time you start it, the rules for obtaining jackpots change. There are 10 different variations. The variations and their shots are dictated (randomized) by the game's seed number. SNIPER isn't your only multiball feature, though.
  • Forget balls per game; we use a health system!
    Saving Wallden is unique. You don't get a set number of balls per game. Instead, you get health (HP). While draining is the main way to lose health, it's not the only way. And there are also ways to gain health (e.g., the HP Multiball). Once you run out of health, try to save yourself in a special high-anxiety "death save" feature. Otherwise, it's game over! (And yes, it's possible to die in the middle of a feature/multiball)
  • 5 difficulty settings
    When you start a new game, you can choose between 5 different difficulty settings. There are your standard easy, normal, and hard settings. Additionally, there are two special settings. "Zen" allows you to keep playing the game for as long as you want (or until you get a Judgment Wizard); take a score penalty for the total HP damage that you took. "Impossible" is for the Mad Lads who want to play hard *and* without the ability to hold your flippers up (as an incentive, there are Judgment Wizard modes that can only be achieved if you played on Impossible difficulty).
  • Love your friends too much? We have co-op play!
    If you'd rather play together instead of against each other, then Saving Wallden has a co-op mode just for you! Every player shares the same score and table progress. Work together to defeat the beast in Wallden! However, each player still has their own stats (e.g., HP).
  • Easter Eggs and Secrets
    This table features a few memes, Easter Eggs, and secret multiballs. Play the game to discover them all!
  • Scorbit
    This table is on the Scorbit app! Share your high scores with others. Use real-time stream overlays to showcase your progress. And much more!

If you paid money for this table, you have been SCAMMED!

Visual Pinball X is freeware. And all VPX tables, including Saving Wallden, are for personal, non-commercial use only.

If you paid money for any VPX tables (including to play them, e.g., an arcade), YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED! Demand a refund immediately and report them to the VP community.

Do not download or distribute VPX tables from sources other than the Digital Pinball Network.

Say NO to table packs!

A table pack is any method of distributing VP tables en-masse (examples include archive files, torrents, installers containing tables, v-cabinets containing pre-installed tables, and distributed flash drives/hard drives/Solid State drives/CDs/DVDs).

All FP/VPX table packs, including ones distributed freely, should be avoided, condemned, and reported for removal. They may seem like an easy and convenient way to put many tables on your set-up. But they do a horrible disservice to the VP community.

Authors spend countless hours generously putting together the VP tables you acquire for no monetary gain. This comes with the expectation, since you don't pay for the tables with money, that you will contribute in other ways to the authors:

Not to mention, table packs may contain viruses/malware or very old versions of tables.

Making these tables is not possible without the collective feedback of the community. And table packs take all of this value away.

Legitimate VP sites and members will NEVER distribute table packs of any kind!

Frequently Asked Questions regarding VPX use

NO! This goes against every core value of the VP community. It is also in gross violation of the VPX license agreement. The community will take action against anyone who does this.

If you want to "distribute" VPX tables, you should instead direct people to the Digital Pinball Network sites so they can download the tables they want on their own.

NO! Don't distribute FP/VPX tables, period, unless you're uploading them to one of the vetted Digital Pinball Network sites and you are the author of said table(s).

NO! Just like table packs, this takes away from the value of the VP community. Cabinet owners must go to the Digital Pinball Network sites if they want to download or update the tables they want (that way, people see the downloads page and are more likely to leave a review/comment for the author). Do not offer any automated means to do this.

NO! VPX is for personal and non-commercial use only. You are not allowed to profit off of its use. That violates the license agreement of the program.

NO! You are still profiting from the use of VPX via the cover charge, which is against the VPX license agreement.

Technically yes, but it is still highly frowned upon in the VP community because it's not personal use. If you have VPX games available in your business for playing, the games are free, you have no cover charges, and you fully allow anyone to come to your place of business to play those games without making any purchases at your business... then you are technically okay. You probably wouldn't want to do that though because businesses usually consider non-patrons as solicitors.

Only if you do not require any purchase or donation of any kind to play the game; e.g., anyone should be allowed to come play the game for free without making any contribution to the charity. Donations for the charity should be accepted only on a volunteer/optional basis.

That depends. Usually, this is frowned upon, but you can accept volunteer "buy me a coffee or beer" donations from the community if you like. You may also, for example, charge for your services as an artist, musician, voice actor, etc., if you do so normally as part of your business (not directly in regards to VPX). And it is acceptable to receive monetization for videos you produce of your VPX table development on streaming platforms.

However, the rule to keep in mind is that the development of VPX tables must not be contingent on you receiving any financial contributions for it. Financial contributions should be considered a "blessing", not an "expectation". Remember, this is a hobby, and we develop tables out of our passion and enthusiasm for pinball... not for money. If money is your motive, then the VPX/FP community is not the place for you; consider applying to work for proprietary/commercial pinball game developers instead.
