I'm not sure about the theme but this is definitely one of the best games I've played so far.

I didn't like it that much. The music was blaring way too loudly and some of the mechanics was off. Sorry!

Ooh, a real gem! This is really innovative and also well implemented. Love a lot about this, the music and SFXs, the ball physics and the fact that you can create you own layouts. It was a bit confusing first that the mouse was used for shooting, but that makes perfectly sense, although it could have been communicated better. Congrats, this will get some good reviews for sure!

I love the editor. Its really solid. The camera is a little too zoomed in for me. But overall its fun! Would be nice if it had a hash serializer so people could post their creations as a string (Like Factorio)

I love pinboll games. I use to play them as kid all the time. Just love that the level is editable. Great music and animation for the blcoks breaking aswell. Please play and rate our game aswell: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/nanonator

I don't know how this goes with the theme, but I absolutely love it! The camera is a zoomed in a bit too far and I think I am not able to delete walls and bumpers. Music and Graphics are great. Currently my most favorite game, thanks! (also the idea of @lumous sounds great)

Wow, this was a really ambitious project for a game jam, and you guys pulled it off well! There's really not much to say other than well done.

If I had a single request though it would be to have an option to 'paint' bumpers and paddles instead of having to drag them over one at a time. I wanted to make a wall of bumpers and it was really time consuming compared to how nice and easy it was to paint blocks.

Definitely keep working on this though, I'd love to see it on Steam or GOG some day.

Wow this is great work for something done in a game jam! I love the art and the animations were great, especially the scrolling lights on the ball. The music was really good too! Great work on this and hopefully we'll get to see more of it!

Mix of pinball and shoot em up , what can be funnier ? ) I'm not always understand when I'm able to shoot with a ball ( perhaps when I hit obstacles ) I'd like to see maybe some bonuses : for example you hit bonus that allows to shoot in all directions.

OH MAN!! This game is killer.

I loved the editor. Who has time to make an editor in a jam game?! You guys rocked it.

Kickin soundtrack, too. Really, really great.

Diver's the pixel master so it looks fantastic, as expected.

The occasional power-up was really neat, too.

If I had any complaint it was that my paddles weren't super responsive. I had to train myself to time the paddle. I'm not entirely sure where the theme is, but I don't care. This game is a lot of fun.

I could see this game being a real thing, for sure.

Wow that was unexpected! I've never played pinball with that twist! The graphics were ok and the music fit the game nicely!

But I started to get a little frustrated as the 'arena' got more empty and I kept trying to get up there and stay there without success, taking to long to destroy everything. With some tuning, polish and more power ups this could be really fun! Great job guys!!

Really great and polished game. At first I didn't thought a pinball game will surprise me, but it has really great mechanics. The music is very good.
