Genuinely got really hyped when the music started. The graphics are great and satisfying sound effects!

I love pinball and you made a great version of it. I love your mechanics and your art. Good job!

same as @entirelybees, the music was nice. I LOVE pinn-ball. it's just a shame I can almost never find one. I would love to see a map selection later, maybe even a ball customiser. it has a lot of potential, keep it up!

Fun pinball table! Unfortunately I am too bad at pinball to beat the boss, but I had fun all the same.

Oh wow, what a great pinball game! The music was SUPER HYPE, the sound effects were all really visceral and spot-on; and the controls were snappy and responsive. I wish I was good enough at pinball to actually spawn the boss!

The graphics are stunning (so much attention to details!), the music is really cool, the sound effects are also on point, the overall feel of the game is really well done! It's really refreshing to see a pinball game, it sounds overdone but because it does, we don't actually see any, isn't it ironic? (Don't you think?)

Now for the sad part, I was UNABLE to go three times into this stupid shop, I lit up the 'HELL' letters a thousand times, I poked the 4 purple demons a thousand times also, went up to a score of a million, three hundred thousand, but still never could go three times into that little shop cavern thingy. Which makes me sad because I couldn't experience the whole game.

You made a great game nonetheless, congrats!

P.S.: Something else I forgot, there seems to be performance issues after some time, maybe some effects or whatever don't get properly destroyed? I didn't take it into account in my rating because it wasn't game breaking.

Reminds me of the glorious time I could play pinball on my computer! It's a remarkably well executed game with detailed graphics and a groovy music ! I do feel like there's some kind of slowness in how the ball and the flippers moves but that may be because I'm playing the html5 version. My best score is 325 000 but I unfortunately wasn't able to go three times in the shop :/

Good nostalgia vibes from playing space pinball on the family computer! Audio is awesome and good overall effects that makes it a very pleasing game.

Got some Windows XP vibes, truly a great experience! However, I did not read all the rules because I'd rather find them by myself, and playing a pinball is pretty easy, so I didn't understand I had to go in a shop. And when I read that it was actually the goal, I tried again and it is too hard to get in there xD

Still, I love the art, the music is amazing, and the game feel is really cool!

Great music and mood! I managed to enter the shop several times (hours of training on the windows pinball finally paid off) but failed at every quest proposed to me :( BI still enjoyed the game a lot though, nicely done :)

a-coltzz 2019-04-30 18:45

Perfection is a word this goes past it 5/5 great job guys really enjoyed the music having a leaderboard would've made it 6/5. IF you have time check out my game too :v:

linheha 2019-04-30 18:54

So I need to train way more just to manage to enter the shop more than 2 times, and finally play one of the quests, but I will! (...I hope haha). But even if I don't, I still love just playing and trying to beat my score. (A scoreboard would be great :p maybe later? ) Also, what a great idea to design a pinball game, and, as usual, your game is very polish and graphics and sound are very cool! :)

boxedmeatrevolution 2019-04-30 21:41

That was a lot of fun. The game feels very polished, the sound and art are both great. The only criticism I have is that it doesn't seem to fit the theme very well.

nusan 2019-05-01 07:52

Super great game! A bit harsh when you finally activate a guest and you fail to complete it. I used to play pinball games when I was little, and I felt the same today, with the incomprehensible rules and quests and my inability to control the ball ^^. Great job!

le-slo 2019-05-01 09:27

Wow, really slick pinball! Around 550,000 points, I had a hard time trying to enter the ball in the box, and with 1 life remaining I entered it the 3 times in a row: "Hell in 30 seconds". Let's go! 20 seconds left "__L_", 12 seconds left "H_L_" 7 seconds left "H_LL" and with all the tension, I kicked the ball, went slowly up just to fall between the two flippers. What a moment! The art is super nice and the music wraps up this masterfully crafted game. Congratulations!

t-bo 2019-05-01 14:49

Great job with this amazing pinball ! I love your art style and the music is cool ! :clap:

julienlussiez 2019-05-01 14:52

The music was very cool. It's fun to play a pinball during this game jam. It works pretty well. Good work !

sholyu 2019-05-01 15:42

Super game ! i love pinball and yours is really cool. the music is repetitive but really catchy ! nice job mate

samh 2019-05-01 19:55

Help! My ball’s been stuck here for ages and I can’t shake the table :dizzy_face: hell-pinball.png

Help! It’s happened again :cry: hell-pinball2.png

goomboo 2019-05-01 20:46

@samh Yes, this is a known rare bug and there's unfortunately nothing you can do about it once it happens :s We'll make sure to fix this when we'll release a post-jam version of the game

I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I hope this won't stop you from trying to get the highest score ;)

dasmaichen 2019-05-01 21:10

Nice pinball implementation! :round_pushpin: Also great that you made a web version of it. :thumbsup:

icxon 2019-05-01 22:53

Great game feel, great animations, great setting. I want to fight a boss, but I'm not good enought to hit the shop three times :japanese_ogre: will play more of it!

Here are my first attempts:

Woohoo, haven't played that type of game since WindowsXP :)

shubart 2019-05-02 11:58

Excellent. Really fun, nice and well polished. Music fir perfectly the game. Thank you

tiagorrech 2019-05-02 16:57

Love a good pinball, and this certainly fits the bill! It wasn't clear to me how the game relates to the theme, but awesome work nonetheless!

ivaylo-dombi 2019-05-02 17:41

Nice game,love the graphics and the gameplay is great

tommyflower 2019-05-03 14:44

The game I played for the longest time here :D Loved the music but would have loved some music accent added,(this is just because it reminds me the good old Pinball Fantasies :)

black-flag 2019-05-03 15:48

I really like the sound effects, graphics and the gameplay! It is really satisfying get a massive combo of points! Overall, its a really good jam entry!

insanitycode 2019-05-03 22:19

Already rated this one yesterday... Still awesome :)

dr4g0nsoul 2019-05-04 18:44

Awesome game. This game has real potential to become something great. Would buy it on mobile. The music is also great as is the overall gameplay and animations. Great job.

falak 2019-05-04 20:23

WOW! really nice pinball! One issue I see is that the screen change rapidly between lower and upper. It should be more smooth i think. Good luck!

dk5000p 2019-05-06 20:11

Had a lot of fun playing, I did get the ball stuck one time. Also, it seemed better to not really to try for the store, since it was sort of difficult to navigate, maybe don't give a yes or no option.

monkeydvrus 2019-05-09 16:42

I love the music and the sound effect! Usually i don't like this kind of game but i like this one.
