good adaptation of the old pinball) is very appropriate to the topic by the way. I liked the movement of the camera - it's impressive) and pixel fonts resemble the old school :wink:

Ohh these games always keep me playing far longer than I would like! Good job mate, I've made it till level 3 I think with triple peddles but just couldn't beat it hahaha. Only thing is the controls were a bit too far apart for my taste, since A and M need both my hands and then I'd use arrow to launch... I do understand, since it's based on a real-world machine. NONETHELESS, well done!
The sound of this game is really impressive!
I really like this game! The sound, the graphics, levels, concept, etc. I don't really know any pinball games, but the idea of following the ball with the camera and moving the ball between different areas/tiers was new to me. Really great and fun stuff!
However, there should probably at least be some other button for shaking the table. T is not really reachable. Spacebar maybe? But that's just a nitpick.
And I don't really get the connection with the theme. I guess more balls can be more difficult(?) but it's also to great help with completing the levels.
Well, I've spent more time playing this than anything else this jam.
Fun game! Really cool atmosphere with the music and voice! Keep up the great work! :D
All the balls in the world couldn't help me finish level 4! This really threw me back to the old windows flipper game. I really like the concept with more than an usual amount of flippers, but I guess you got the theme wrong! It's more awesome the more flippers you have!
This game was one of my favorite of the 16 games I have played so far however I do have some criticism. My biggest issue with the game is it is a game that you should be able to play with one hand but every button is somewhere else on the keyboard. Z is left bumper M is right bumper and tilt is T which is in the middle top of the keyboard. I have to actually take my hand off a bumper key to do tilt.
Overall though this was a great game I me some pinball and the physics (while a tad bouncy) were solid!
We added additional mappings to left and right arrows for controlling the flippers and space or up arrow to tilt. Now you should be able to play with just the arrow keys, as some of you requested. :D
Great game! I especially liked the camera movement and the sounds.
I also liked the introduction to the levelling concept in Level 0, where the ball just automatically reaches its goal.
Having multiple balls also made for a fun experience, although the camera moved around very fast if one of the balls got out of the game and the average centre of the other balls was far away from the previous position. Maybe slowly adjusting the camera would have made for a better visual experience in that case.
Really solid entry, physics felt just right, and game was quite fun. Good job. :)
This is fantastic. Incredibly well put together - good level design and superb music. Great job!
The sound was really the stand out in this game. Expertly done. The gameplay was simple, and not really anything new, but it was well done and I really enjoyed it. I got one instance of multiball, which works great with the theme but it seems to be a rare occurrence. Also when that multiball did happen, the camera movement was very fast which made it really hard to tell what was going on. Perhaps a little more smoothing there would be nice?
Well, I dislike how I was unable to see the whole table, and how I was unable to decide how to prod the table. The first because of how I had to make shots practically blind, the second because of lack of control. Also, the prods felt way too generous.
Hey @makiki99 thanks for playing! the camera tries to always show all the balls at play. Surely we will test with a larger zoom out by default, although the camera zooms out more if the balls have higher speed. Regarding the prods being generous, I think you got lucky! The direction and force is random within certain limits and there is also a cooldown of 10 seconds to prevent "abusing" the tilt functionality. Anyway, I love fair criticism and thanks for providing it!
Great game!! It remains me when i was young and i play it in windows!!
Nice! easy gameplay, but difficult enough to keep me going. Nice sounds!
I agree with previous comments, the camera, simple but colorful shapes, catchy tunes, and fun sounds really grabs you and gets you going. Good entry :)
I'm a sucker for pinball. This is a fun minimal game. Great music!
Cool game! The visual style is clean and effective and the audio is very well done. The voice sounds cool, all the sound effects are appropriate and the music is great. I'm not a huge pinball fan, but the gameplay all seems to work well and can be pretty fun. However, I think there needs to be some increase in difficulty each time you loop through the levels as it doesn't seem that hard to go infinite. Some more camera control (mainly zooming out) would also be nice.
