Followed most of the stream, the game is great and lots of fun, and REALLY HARD! I really wished the table wood texture was a bit better but other than that it's all great :)

2016-12-12 02:36

Stream was fun to watch. The game is buggy (mostly physics issues) but the graphics and geometry are great.

cynicalmonkey 2016-12-12 02:42

Feel bad criticising someone who taught me so much but the game froze on me 3 times in a row and when it didn't the ball went through my bumpers twice :( looks really pretty though

mrwillowb 2016-12-12 03:40

Nice Game, expected better from you, but it's a nice effort.
There is no way to exit the table once you are playing, I had to turn off my pc to stop playing the game.

tygrak 2016-12-12 07:09

Looked at your stream a couple times. I dont really know too mmuch about pinball but it is really fun! Each time I got multiball I have thrown away one of them (or both) like instantly so I am really good at it :). The design of the table looks really good.

paidgeek 2016-12-12 08:02

A solid pinball game. Great job with the models. If it wasn't against the rules, I'd assume you got them off the asset store :)

gurkan96 2016-12-12 10:07

well amazing game as usuall dont really have anything to complain about other than apparently pinball is hard :)

slimabob 2016-12-12 10:13

Great entry! I'm a long-time fan and you inspired my to enter in this Ludum Dare! Can't wait for the postmortem video!

rikardkarlsen 2016-12-12 11:26

This was a fun game, despite the bugs. I didn't know it was this much to a pinball game until this stream!

skywolf 2016-12-12 12:00

Quill is a great entertainer, i had fun keeping the stream open while completing my entry. The game is great, i don't know much about pinball myself, but it is very fun.

asturk 2016-12-12 12:39

Thats a really nice pinball game, and very challenging too, since a dont play pinballs that much! also, I Watched some parts of your stream while i was doing my compo here too and dont know what happened to your first idea of the RC car racing. But great job, this is really a very good intro here! =D

schizoid2k 2016-12-12 14:12

Incredible pinball game. Kudos! I watched only a few minutes of the stream (since I was working on my game) and I knew I had to play this. Incredible graphics and sound.

creativwhisper 2016-12-12 15:38

Great game idea and concept, and the graphics are one of the best that i have found till now. Great work quill.

I detect some retard on the controls tho, maybe the only thing that i think that detracts from the experience.

kd7uiy 2016-12-12 16:27

Well done overall! The lighting is a bit weak, as is the theme, but the graphics are great, nicely done!

pixlark 2016-12-12 17:17

Great game! I would give it five stars, but there are two big issues:

- Physics can be wonky at times (although I can understand why - UNITY!)

- The gutters on the sides are badly placed. I can't tell you how many times I launched a ball, only to have it bounce directly into the gutter without any way for me to intervene.

Besides that, it's a pretty great game - I mean, it's pinball! Who doesn't like pinball?

2016-12-12 19:22

Watched him streaming a couple hours. Great game !

jeromwaarom 2016-12-12 21:27

Another great game Quill! I am personally not a fan of pinball games, yet the game play was quite addicting and I loved the general mood, with all the funny sound effects and stuff!

strider 2016-12-12 21:41

Really really good...

tolmera 2016-12-12 23:23

Overall, enjoyable and amazing work for 48 hours.

The Audio is pretty awesome overall, Really like the chime when you hit the salt.

powerspark 2016-12-13 00:38

It's pretty nice, I like the detail in the machine.

kunonooni 2016-12-13 03:57

Really enjoyed the game. I'm a fan of Pinball games and yours is very interesting. I did notice some wonky behaviors while playing but I have a feeling it has more to do with Unity than anything else. The assets are amazing looking and I really enjoyed the sounds! Popped into the stream ever so often to see how it was coming along while I was making my game. Good Job!

mrwillowb 2016-12-13 05:38

It ran slowly on my pc so the physics were all screwy. Nice looking pinball game, would have been nice if you added the match the number pinball thingy, so you could an extra life.

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2016-12-13 07:06

Interesting pinball game. The physics were a little light, i was never able to hit the ramp, so hard to aim. Decent models though.

zqmony 2016-12-13 07:12

Really nice design. When you play it, it feels like a real pinball game.

d3uced 2016-12-13 07:32

Table looks amazing and plays well, great work quill18. You inspired me to enter this year.

unit684 2016-12-13 10:36

Really nice pinball game! It's amazing you did this much in a weekend

rixud 2016-12-13 11:06

i dont know if is my idea, but the flippers have a little delay? make it a bit difficult to play

treborginho 2016-12-13 12:16

Learned a lot from your youtube and twitch channels. You created a nice twist on the theme. Graphics are very polished for a compo entry. Not your best work though on the innovation side of the compo. In spite of minor physics glitches I had fun playing your game.

coborax 2016-12-13 13:39

Very nice game!

mpe3us 2016-12-13 16:43

Great job as always Quill. Pretty fun game, but definitely not as interesting as some of your other games :P

maartene 2016-12-13 19:17

Very nice looking pinball table that 'feels' good. The salt shaker sound must be my favorite in the game.

grandtheftmarmot 2016-12-13 21:07

Watched your stream, amazing job.

wevel 2016-12-13 23:13

Good game, nice home made audio I'm not very keen on pin ball games, but that's partially just cos im not very good at them.

liquidmedia 2016-12-13 23:13

Cool game. I got to see parts of your stream. Thanks for all the programming tip / ideas.

megalink 2016-12-14 01:17

This game is quite fun but kind of unorginal. Good job, anyways. The 3D models are also really well made for the time limit :)

xbcw 2016-12-14 02:14

Solid pinball game. Your stream is great to watch over the weekend while participating.

jperlin 2016-12-14 03:16

The game worked great for me, felt really well executed, I like the design of the table, both visually and gameplay-wise. Not a huge fan of pinball, but it was quite fun. Nicely done.

hermetic 2016-12-14 04:04

Pinball is such a high level to aspire to. I completely admire your attempt. It's definitely a pinball game! The physics are close... The sounds are cool; I miss the "ball rolling on the table" sound, though. The modeling was nice. It is pretty shocking that you could get through a table design at all in 48 hours; You did a design and coded it. Congratulations.

hawksandwich 2016-12-14 12:57

Another great entry, quill :D I love pinball, and this one's a nice take. the controls are nice and responsive, the game is simple and straightforward. Good job!

doomdad 2016-12-14 15:32

Very solid pinball game. Watched the stream, while we were making our own game and I must say that I really like your approach to the theme of one room! The game has a really nice arcade pinball feeling, while still being a really unique design.

Still I think there could have been a little more polish, like the fact that the only way I could exit the game was to do Alt+F4. Also the beat on the background was alright, but a solid soundtrack could have made the game even more intriguing.

But still, overall great game and had fun playing it!

decentsauce 2016-12-14 16:39

Cool game! Would have been nice though if the score was implemented in the table itself. Physics feel a bit weird at times but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a little bit of tweaking. Really like the cooking theme of the pinbal machine.

mat4dor 2016-12-14 20:26

Very impressive. Opened the stream the other day for a second, and saw you creating the game. Very nice game for a 48h competition.

rjhelms 2016-12-15 04:21

Love the art - great work for 48 hours!

Things are a bit jank, but that's unity physics for you. Making a pinball game in LD is very ambitious, and this is well done considering.

peachtreeoath 2016-12-15 05:47

Seemed interesting at the start but it was pretty hard to get anything going, even after several playthroughs. Maybe the physics issue.

krasse 2016-12-15 11:52

Thanks for an awesome stream. The game is really impressive.

redbutton 2016-12-15 12:14

Cool idea!
Beautiful and polished graphics and very solid gameplay.
The ball needs more mass and the flippers more force so you get the feeling you can destroy the field with any shot you take.
Please add more action to the scene, like overcooking pots, smashing eggs or some weird cook. That would make me hooked on the game :)

antisc2 2016-12-15 15:25

Great fun pinball game. Maybe not the most super interesting game ever created but still very fun!

kerelolivier 2016-12-15 17:47

Well, it's a pinnball game, but a very good one at that. I liked playing it. It ran really smooth and couldn't find any bugs.

ednei 2016-12-16 02:03

Just tested and I love this one!
The difficult is balanced, the graphics is very bealtiful!
Great work!!

thecrancher 2016-12-16 08:43

hey there, so the graphics are amazing, as well as the sounds, and it feel exactly like real pinball, the only downside was that sometimes the ball would pretty much go straight in the gutter and there was nothing i could do about it, but besides that it was great!

omniorcus 2016-12-17 01:53

A good game of pinball. I like. It uses the theme to dictate it visual aesthetic, so its good there. It is fun to play. It is just pinball, but its a good pinball. Audio wise, the soundfx are good, and the backing is fine. A little repetitive, but that's what the gameplay's for. Graphically, it's a little dull, but it is also done in 3D, so that's a bit more acceptable. The lack of a backdrop to the machine is really unsettling for me.

bazkur98 2016-12-18 21:27

Great game, a few bugs I noticed. Ball would slip through the flippers sometimes and when i'd manage to get the ball in the Oven the ball would get stuck off the left and behind the oven itself (sort of like it flew right threw the oven. Otherwise another pretty solid entry sir!

capitals 2016-12-19 14:10

Followed most of the stream too, well done, it looks and sounds great. However the paddles are really twitchy. I played this for about 20 mins and it seemed like nothing I could do would put the balls in the glass tunnel things. Overall though good effort.

randomvideo-com 2016-12-19 18:18

As always Quill, you got an really cool game. love it. Did some game myself but its nothing compared to yours . GG

mango-malarkey 2016-12-19 18:35

Great graphics in this one! I'm glad you finally got to make your pinball game!

coomzy 2016-12-20 21:19

More reactions in environment would have been nice.

neon 2016-12-20 21:29

Great stuff. The sound effects are fitting, the graphics are on point and the game feels really good. ?

aaranos 2016-12-22 04:30

The controls are a little awkward to use. I would of liked use of arrow keys for flippers.

I also found that the ball moved incredibly fast occasionally, not sure if it was intentional.

Overall, nice polish on graphics and audio. Other than the speedy ball the gameplay was pretty smooth.

wizzardmaker 2016-12-22 15:59

Nice game, but doesn't feel like a real pinball machine, it needs more blinking lights more flashing, more stuff happening on the screen. The game is still well made

maixior 2017-04-21 15:59

great game! :D
