Wow nice, the idea of playing with the sunset and the horizon is simple yet pretty effective ! That looks beautiful, and the waves sounds compliment the graphics pretty well. Overall it's a nice relaxing game, and the pinball controls are well executed. GREAT JOB ! :thumbsup:
Very amusing juxtaposition. Short, simple, and to the point.
Visuals were lovely but at times I wanted a little more contrast. I really wanted the top set of paddles to have a longer arc, or at least be tilted a little more to start with; they felt relatively useless.
Felt like I didn't want to play more than twice but mostly that's because the game does everything it wants to pretty quickly: nice job.

Wow, your game looks and feels great! Some modest sound effects for the ball collisions or the paddle controls and this would be perfect in my opinion. Fantastic job! :)
Great and creative return of an old game! Good job!
Excellent minimalistic design, nice to play. Good job!
The controls felt very slick, just what you want in a pinball game. Nice job
Serene, fun, PRETTY. A great idea with great execution. There isn't a lot here, but that just means that I don't have much to criticize. Good job.
edit: ended up playing this for the entirety of a virtual college tour, which was an hour long. good stuff fr

Really love this concept, very well executed, great job! :smile: That fade really made it harder :sweat_smile: I enjoyed it, though I couldn't get past 40 seconds, being the pro pinball player that I am :laughing: Maybe the smaller circles could be also made to unfade after some time when the controls are faded and you can't hit the bigger ones - this could be an easier difficulty option.

Pretty relaxing game, I have been playing quite a lot of pinball games recently so I'm kinda biased towards this sort of game at the moment! I like the aesthetics of this game mostly, and the gimmick of the controls fading added a extra challenge to this game. Overall, good job on the game and I look forward to seeing more of your creations!

Really cool game! Having the "board" disappear like that was a really creative idea! The visuals were nice and relaxing. Nice job!
This is super cool! I agree with Lazzor that it could use some sound effects for collision (and maybe some subtle visual effects for colliding with the circles), but that's a minor thing. Besides that, this game has everything it needs and nothing it doesn't need. Great work!

One of my favorite games so far in this LD. The graphics are very simple but they work perfectly. And I like the background noise. If you are gonna improve this later, please make the circles more responsive, and add some leniency with the sunset - right now it goes up a bit too fast.

I really enjoyed the minimalistic design. The aesthetics are simply amazing!
Very nice, I love the minimalism of this game. Of course I was motivated to delay the inevitable, and the fading controls made it more difficult - on the other hand, it was somehow satisfying to let the controls fade away and enjoy the pure, unobstructed sunset.
