The machine was confirmed in January 2012 with the release of a teaser video showcasing the game, along with the twelve songs involved in its soundtrack.[4]
It features a swinging bell involved in theHells Bells mode and a lower playfield in the Premium/LE editions for modes that use the word Hell in the song's title.
Each song is the subject of a mode, from which players can work towards a multi-ball for additional points.[5]
In a review forPlay Meter the game was found to have an interesting mix of rules, and scored the game 3/4.[6]
