Very good game :p
Some physics problems, but the idea is very cool!
Thank you Oni !
Reasonably fun, I do like the concept of a multi-tiered table :) Not exactly difficult though, had to attempt to actually lose, and the lack of being able to bump the table (because obviously, two button controls) means that you don't have as much control as regular pinball games. That said, it worked reasonably well within the constraints of the control scheme, I didn't get stuck outside the table at least!
Could perhaps do with a small start screen, it was a bit panic-inducing suddenly being thrown into it!
Having multiple levels is a nice twist on an existing formula.
Nice frantic game, I made it to the top and shot it into the bonus hole a few times. The weird shape of the ball made this play different and the jarring screenshake and sharp sound effects all kind of worked together as a style.
Nice work.
Instant reminiscence of Revenge of the Gator on GameBoy for me :) Very fun toying around with that bounce seed. Also nice graphics style and busy music. Good stuff!
While the physics needs some work, the game is good looking, I liked the retro Gameboy palette. Sound was adequate, and controls responsive.
Had some physics issues here and there. But overall a very solid game. Did miss nudging though, given the layout on some screens. Evidently you had your reasons. Do have to add, there's something cute about that seed..
That's a nice take on pinball. I never liked much pinball but here there are different screens, it was fun.
Thank you guys :] @MHaton : yes difficulty levelling is a bit rushed, I think it's hard to lose but also hard to win. (I tried about half an hour without reaching the boss nor losing the ball...) I'll try to fix it (hahahaha this usually a lie but who knows) when i'll add some game mechanics (that's what's planned)
@kaynank @Phil Strahl actually someone made me i discover Gator Pinball 2 hours before the deadline :] I played hours and hours and days and days to Kirby Pinball as a kid, si i think that's my true influence ; it seems to have some common points with Gator Pinball... I also really liked Sonic Pinball at the time, that had some more different mechanics...
@pvwradtke @purrpurr thank you ! ok,ok, i'll throw an eye on physics :]
@pkenney : Thank you ! I owe you a beer since last LD in order to thank you, i loved the great review you wrote my LD33 game :)
Brilliantly done. Reminded me of playing on the game boy. Im so glad you didnt make it too hard. So many pinball games you just lose your ball over and over and dont get the satisfaction of hitting things. Cute graphics and nice beebs and boops. Thanks!
Very good! Collision detection a bit iffy, but maybe that's just me being rubbish at playing it. :D
OMG PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME TOUCH YOUR HOLES AGAIN!!!
Seriously, physics are ok, but them hitboxes are eeeeeeeeviiiil!! Otherwise, the game has that lovely gameboy feel we all love so much and with sound yes please! The idea of changing screens mixed with flipper is really cool. I just wish you didn't put your hole there... Or you made it tighter. So I couldn't slip in it. Then maybe I could have actually seen the boss... But yea great game!!
Also, make a main menu next time!
Nice! This is really fun. Great gamefeel with the screenshake & sound effects. Good work! :D
Kinda laggy, but overall good idea!
I enjoyed the game :D
by coincidence also made a pinball
Fun pinball game, pretty cool how it had multiple levels. Could do with a menu. Good work!
Very enjoyable game. Had some problems with the physics but a very cool idea. Very hard and rewarding.
Cool game and the graphics are awesome but super simple!
I think the black holes are really annoying :P
Very good pinball, I really liked it, the spirit of the old school and it naabitie points very happy. Thanks for the game. Good job.
I love the graphic style. Although has some bugs with collisions, it's a solid game and enjoy it!
Nice take on an age old game, wasn't to keen on the physics. I still had fun though.
+1 theme :D I like pinball... spended a lot of money for this tables in my childhood :D There are some gameplay polishings things you should do... but you made a good job.

@gillenew @ohmaigawd : Thank you !
@radmars : Thanks ! On what device did you play ? I did not notice lags for now, maybe i abused the "sleep" function...
@bob_fish @Trasevol_Dog :Thank you guys, i'll add a menu i swear :x Also Trasevol_Dog your comments are kinda weird out of context :)
@tantumgames @Big Cow : Thank YOU guys ! That may be the first time someone thank me for making a game ;) It made my days.Thank you for playing and commenting, thank you for thanking me, thank you for such support ! :p
@jachepe @DarkGrisen: Thank you ! I hope i'll be able to add art once i have a great level design done, i have some little drafts that i can't wait to integer !
@Hot Box Games @Anti @DustyStylus: Thanks ! I tried to work a bit on physics. Also not having a round shape for the seed wasn't a good idea, let's call this an experiment :)
@psychomonster : Thanks ! I'll try to polishing it step by step, this was very raw at first, but i managed to have some clear parts in the source so i'm not demotivated to go on :)
@faxanidu : fixed :x
I like it! It's a little rough, but I still had fun playing it. One suggestion I'd make is to slow down the animation on the mushrooms - they animate so quickly that they're a bit blurry. I think the idea of multiple tiers of table is great as it lets you recover from mistakes. Good job!
Nice take on pinball, I really like how the ball passes through levels. Well done!
LOl i play this so much on my itch XD and thanks for the fix :D
Enjoyed playing this and definitely took me back to the old gameboy days of playing the pinball gator game as others have mentioned. Had completely forgotten about it so was a nice reminder. Liked that you changed it up from normal pinball with the shape of a seed. Thought that added a twist on the mechanic. Think menu would really help but as I know well, it's always easy to run out of time and not finish everything you want. Also liked seeing a different type of game for another Ludum Dare :)
I liked the grayscale graphics :) And reminded me of pinball on Windows XP!
