I had the same error as @mr-matt but I downloaded Love2D (https://love2d.org/) as mentioned in the description and pasted the content into the folder of the game to make it work.

This is exactly an early prototype of a pinball game where snow gets in the way of the player. There is a lot missing, you cannot score for instance. Also, there is a slight issue if you keep pressing the boost action that will trigger weird rebound mid-air.

That said, I had fun playing with the ball and the snow.

I think this is due to the face on the ball. Changing the face on actions and movement could improve the fun.

I hope this helps :)

Playable here, I copied the Love files into the folder from another game (Cursed Gold) and it's working fine.

I like the playfulness of this, it's just innocent fun, and appreciate that there's nothing like a scoring system. Reminds me of the classic LocoRoco for psp, and I'd love to see this pushed further with a few other mechanics and larger level area.

@ebim oh thank you for the advice about the face :)

I've been inspired by kirby pinball land when doing this.

I really spent only one day on this, but maybe I will go further outside of a game jam.
