Really interesting concept. I like the artwork a lot! Had trouble feeling like I was in control much while playing, and I'm not sure I completely understand what the different types of bumpers do (maybe a bit more documentation on the download page could help?)
Your game definitely has a really nice visual appeal to it, I love all of the physics you have setup and how well the idea works to use a pinball flipper as your character building off using the ball to interact with the environment & attack things. That being said, I would really like to see more in terms of level development with different bumper patterns & challenges. Great job :D
Sprite and particle mastery combined with easy controls and entertaining physics? I dig it. Your implementation is smooth and flexible. This game can scale easily as well. Excellent work! :)
Really fun and refreshing physics, 30 minutes in still having fun. Though some music would have been nice. If I may give my recommendation I would say check out https://boscaceoil.net/ its free and very fun to use. I would also make it easier to die. For the first ten minutes I didn't even know I could die. Changing that alone would improve this game so much. As for the art I loved it. It reminded me of a game I used to play all the time as a kid. Overall good job. I'd love it if you would check out my game heres the link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/yum-some
Thanks for all of the constructive comments, everyone! I appreciate you all taking the time to play my game and give some feedback. Looking forward to adding a layer of polish after the event ends!
The main game mechanic is pretty innovative and a lot of fun to use. It would be great to see more levels in the future.
I don't fully understand what I'm supposed to be doing. It seems like if I do nothing my score will keep going up. I don't know what things in the game I want to hit or don't hit. I seemed to lose when I eliminated all the hearts which I assumed were good things. The art is great though! And the physics and movement feel fine!
I think the main thing that this game is missing is instructions. I have no idea what any of the numbers in the bottom mean, or what any of the bumpers do, exactly. At first I thought I was supposed to try to destroy the bumpers with hearts. I'm still not sure what the bumpers with skulls do, as I didn't manage to destroy both of them without dying.
Very innovative and fun mechanic, though the controls took some time to master. I really like the art style. Great job.
The game plays very well despite missing a real goal. It looks great, it plays smooth and feels good to play. A great first entry.
The graphics are very stylish and the concept is unique and interesting. However, I didn't really feel like I had a lot of control over what was going on, which I guess is kind of a feature of pinball! I would definitely be interested in seeing what features you had planned for this that you weren't able to implement.
