Like the idea and the game at all :-) GJ
The game idea itself is good, also the game structure and the stability, that's ok for your first jam! Graphics surely need a boost, but in the overall it's an ok product.
Thanks!
Hey ! The idea is really funny & original ! The pinball feeling is really good, I've really taken a good time, thank's to you and good job !
Simple but good pinball game i think the concept of "pocket pet"and a pinball machine go good together. Only think i can return as a improvement point is that it feels to me sizing is a bit off the ball feels small compared to other things for example.
Thank you for the feedback ! :)
You have a very pessimistic versioning (starting from 0.0.1) :slight_smile:
Great job, keep it up!
It's a fun game, giving nostalgia vibes of my youth. I found that the hitbox of the poop was bigger than it looked also I couldn't see if i hit it or not, so would be nice to see. Overall it's a well made game, good job dude!
Congrats on completing your first Ludum Dare! Definitely something to be proud of.
I like the idea of combining a digital pet with pinball. Though the thought of a pinball spreading virtual poop behind it as it goes is kinda gross. :) The idea was executed well. Nicely done.
The background music was a big repetitive and pretty quickly became overwhelming. I tried adjusting the volume in the settings, but they seemed to be fiddly and it was either everything was on full volume or it was all muted.
Overall, a solid entry, particularly for your first go. If you get a chance, please check out my entry as well. Thanks!
Interesting idea! The general table layout is good and everything seemed to work well. The physics seemed to be just a little "floaty", although I'm not sure why. As @aterlamia said, the ball should be a bit bigger. Also, the sound effects should feel more powerful, with stronger bass, that's important for a pinball machine. The difficulty seemed too easy, I played for a while without ever losing. Anyway well done for not giving up and finishing the game! :)
Hey, nice game!
Fun combination of two ideas, and I'm always a sucker for pinball games.
Minor point, but I thought the camera was a bit too zoomed into the screen, which made it hard to imagine the overall structure of the pinball machine.
Anyway, thumbs up on a job well done!
Thank you for the comments @Potondo @Vasco Freitas @jharler , minor fixes I can change when LD41 ends ! :)
I love tetris and this is nearly tetris mainly because of the level so i enjoyed it a lot :joy:
Hey there! Congratulations on finishing and submitting your game. I had a lot of problems with the audio for some reason, the intro screen played fine and then it went almost full muted. I really like the idea of combining those two genres but in the future I would suggest possibly making it fit all on one screen, it was really difficult to grasp what was going on with all the movement of the camera.
Oh and you have to be a software developer with documentation like you have above!
@morphine Hey ! I indeed love my documentation ;) Thank you for the feedback. Audio really is something weird, I medled with it trying to make a webGL build but failed and ever since I introduced bugs etc... But yeah... The camera was a design choice but I see the problems it can cause :)
Good game actually. Fun combo - very original
I haven't played a pinpall game in years. That game remembered me a lot of good memories! The graphics could have benefited a little more polishing but the concept is great and well executed. Thank you!
@mintarcade @Yanek thanks a lot for the kind feedback! :) The graphics were scheduled for an overhaul, but I ran out of time and wanted to deliver a game that was as enjoyable as I could provide !
The nostalgia machine is REAL! I'm sorry I dont have any real commentary but I just really had fun. Thank you for the game!
Congratulations on your first Dare entry! My first game as a child was Epic MegaGames Pinball for DOS. I remember it vividly and this invoked those same feelings. Interesting blend of genres - though I think audio would have done really well (I do understand the constraints around it though.) I hope to see more of your work in the future!
Good Job! I love to play it. Thank you for this game
Thank you @Angelbait @megamasterx @EkkoEkko for playing !
Really cool idea! Feels a bit more stressful than the usual pet games because I have to try to hit things on purpose (which I never do while playing pinball, hehe), but its a really interesting concept that I never would have thought of :)
This is really fun, dude. Well done!
I really liked this combination of genres! Quite a clever combination indeed, and nostalgic - as both seem a "thing" of the past these days. I found design of having to change your ball into a different tool to allow you to interact with you buddy was a good design choice. To improve, I think just a more varied pinball tabled would help a lot, to make it a little less easy to repeat the same shot consecutively. Awesome effort, especial for compo!
Love it! Never thought these two genres would go so well together! Great job!
Awesome! It was initially hard to understand, which way the infobars worked (is less or more better), but after i figured the game out, the gameplay was really nice.
Such a fun combo of genres! I wasn't very good at keeping my little creature alive but that just reminded me even more of the tamagotchi days of my youth! :D I'd love to see where else you would have taken this with a little more time :)
@gamesplusjames I would probably have made more tables , balance difficulwty and special events and better graphics! After a jam this list should be massive, it means you are on a nice idea and made the minimal playable prototype! I might go back and finish this, but until then I am enjoying th hundreds of jam entries to play! Thank you all for playing!
A really strange mashup of genres but I enjoyed it. The instructions were way too much reading so I just jumped into the game and that was definitely a mistake because I was very confused by it all. Once I got the hang of it, it was much better but still pretty challenging to get the ball up into the play/feed toggle.
Cool idea! The flipper physics was a little rough (that is a very hard thing to model - I've tried many times), but the game was playable and shots went where you expected them to. Having the board be a little more open might help - there were really only a couple of shots to make, and if you'd had moving targets, that would be fun. I tried to help my Pin-agotchi, but it wasn't always clear from the gauges what he needed, and hitting the top target to change what I was giving was a tough shot, so it was hard for me to execute what I wanted to. Good, complete project, with lots to like. Good work.
Thanks for the memory trip. Really fun combination for the theme. I understand the feeling of this Jam not finding ideas (I had similar situation on the first day of the jam)
Thank you for playing @bentglasstube , @dob and @Zukureneno :) Thank you for the kind words
