Oh dear, I'm getting Out of Memory errors trying to run it.
But from what I can see without playing this, I really love your concept. It looks like bouncing around among someone's bookshelves, tables, and chairs, which seems very satisfying to one's inner child ;)
I also got the out of memory error. It says the developer has to increase some memory limit.
Hope you find out how to fix it. It looks like a fun game to play.
Yea, really weird, trying to get it sorted :)
Alright, sorted.
Gonna include an x86 build as well, just in case.
It worked fine now!
Pretty good game I guess?
When I hear that sound im like
"Oh Yeah :3"
Nice little pinball machine. Not much for presentation, but it has some charm due to the cute sound effects. I wish the RPG-theme would have gone a bit further and the Shifting theme did not really convince me, but overall it's a good application of a physics engine.
Really good game. Loved it
thats fun!
nice audio - give graphics the same personal touch and its perfect!
enjoyed it, 4/5!
Thanks for the feedback :)
Graphics are supposed to be a throwback to old school "blue dungeon" maps from tabletop RPGs (google search on "old school dungeon map" should give you an idea).
I think the style I wanted is there (for my sucky graphical skills) but wish I could have gone better for ball, flippers and monsters.
Ah well, coulda, woulda, shoulda!
Yay it's working now!
I quite like how it looks :) I've always been a fan of floor plans and such.
The playable start/restart screen is a very nice touch.
"Take that!"
Wow, huge plus on the sound effects; actually laughed out loud sometimes, hah!
Otherwise, nice one. Not sure how the them fits in though =)
Thanks.
Pinball board "shape-shifting" when you change levels is it.
That's the idea anyway but the animation/feel for it (wals moving around and whatnot) is raw and the purpose is a bit lost sadly.
Alright so, its kinda slow-paced, perhaps a bigger gravity would have made it more engaging, but overall its cool! Good Job!
I really like the travelling between 'boards?'. I just suck at pinball so found it tricky to go where I wanted.
Lovely clean graphical style too!
Rad! I've seen the "Pinball RPG" concept before, but not like this. I think the Windows 3.1-era graphics actually help you out a bit here, and it was kind of fun to imagine the ball as... I dunno... a drunk dwarf carousing madly about and smashing things.
Haven't seen a pinball RPG since Rollers of the Realm. You could definitely expand on this idea and get something interesting.
Loved it. It was hilarious too which was unexpected and fun
Umm that was odd but fun :D. Nice job
I\ve got a bug when the ball reaches lower rectangle it throws away the ball from the map.
Nice one. Direct controlls, solid gameplay. I like it!
I really like the simplistic graphical style you used here. Highly stylized. Sound effects were on point. This one had me laughing after a couple minutes, whenever I hit something.
Very nice game ! I hope you'll be improve it !
Love the sound effects! :D
It's interesting to present a dungeon in this way, it's a bit hard for me to control the ball smoothly, so it's full of challenging to me.
The game felt like a beautiful organized chaos and I like beautiful organized chaos.
P.S: Glad I could clear out the shape/color thing about my game ;)
Nice game and unique mechanics.
Really Really great! And the sound Genius!
Usually not much of a pinball fan, but really enjoyed this. Like how you incorporated the controls into the first level. Really liked the sound. Played this longer than I thought I would.
I love when people do the sound effects like this. :) Makes me laugh a little... in a good way
I like this take on pinball. Unfortunately, I didn't get the shapeshifting aspect until I read the comments. For me it was just changing rooms (which is a very cool feature). Also I was a bit confused, what to do with the gold (is it just score, can you spend it somewhere for upgrades?).
Then again, graphics and sound are very nice.
My overall impression is that you created a very lovely pinball game. Thank you very much :)
Pretty fun and definitely an exotic approach to dungeon crawling! Sound effects are cool and I feel they match the graphics properly :D
I came here - on my reviewer's page - with high hopes. Now how is THIS not a... ehm... "game with the theme squeezed in as a twist" :D :D Anyway, good job! And definitely great job for your first LD!
what do I have to do :) No seriously... I is a pinball game and this is a super cool idea... but I think I had so much luck in this game cause I didn't hit the ball once ...but I reached level 3 in some way... I had two beers with friends and my reactions are slowed down a lot... maybe you should do the levels a litle more challenging... put some sounds into it and it would be a cool pinball adventure... I like the idea. Maybe I'm to much debuffed by the beers... Good job so far, maybe I'll test it twice... faved it so I'll find it later :) Thanks for rating my game tho :)
HAAAHAHA THIS really make me laught ... "ohh yea" hahaha
I was expecting non-sense after looking at screenshots, it was a very good surprise :) sounds effects ARE awesome !
Best Audio LD35
Interesting concept. I like it!
@bogdan.tana: Totally is, not a bad thing per se!
I had a better "shapeshifting" transition in mind, with some kind of transformer sound effect on top, but sadly it got put on the backseat during my fight against Unity physics2D :)
@psychomonster: I have huge respect now for pinball level designers and I now also understand why all pinball tables are vertical, not horizontal!
Good thing is that as is, new levels are fairly easy to add and link together since the hard work is done dynamically depending on how many levels there are on start. Bad thing is that I still suck at pinball level design, and it's still horizontal! :)
@bigmangames: Thanks, I think it saves the submission for a lot of people since otherwise the level design's a bit raw and the theme's light. Sound effects were always a big part of how crazy pinball can get for me so I'm glad that translates properly.
Thanks for including the mute button. ;)
You're brave trying to do 2D pinball physics in Unity. I can see the idea, though in practice it was pretty difficult to get the ball near the enemies.

I just didn't know beforehand man, never tried physics in unity before! Most of my time was lost learning about it then fighting against it :)
This was a great bit of work. Enjoyed playing it. Nice idea and well executed. Amazing sounds!
LIke the selfmade sound XD
Pretty bizarre audio effects, but in a good way, i always say that the next game i'll do the audio effects like this, great collisions, not sure about the theme, but fun overall, i'll rate only audio, humor and fun, gratz! it is amazing for a first LD entry, good job!
I love it, left, left, right, take that! Money money! Awesome sound effects, and a cool idea too :) The last pinball game I played with a context was Sonic spinball!
