I do, when I play. I got to thinking, as I sometimes do, that Zen should have a cool Mascot. At first I thought, well a cute bear would make sense. Then I thought, no, no that really doesn't make sense. Then it hit me, a ball (I wasn't actually hit by anything physically, so don't worry. I'm fine.) And by ball I mean a silver one, like one might find in a...wait for it...pinball machine. Genius.
All of that thinking wore me out, so I went to bed, but the next day I returned to what by that time I'd begun referring to as "my lil' mission", that being creating a mascot for Zen Pinball, and I figured the next step would be to find our ball friend a name.
Again, I believe I've come through with flying colors flying behind me colorfully. Testy, the Pinball!
Frequently whilst playing Zen Pinball 2 I've wondered to myself (mostly) what it'd be like to live the life of a pinball. How would I feel? What would I feel? Would I love or be loved? Would I dream? Most of the answers to these questions still perplex me. However, as to how or what I would feel, I think that would be easy to deduce: Pretty darn angry. Imagine being knocked about with reckless abandon for nothing other than another's pleasure. I dare say there's none amongst us who'd feel anything but a bit angry, or testy (see what I did there) at such an experience. And thus was our new friend birthed.
Please welcome, Testy the Pinball!

I admit, I'm not much of an artist, but I think its simplicity gives it charm.
