A really solid pinball game. I like the enemy mechanic with the workers heading to the bottom; they were surprisingly easy to hit and the board was well engineered with this mechanic in mind. I was a little upset that I couldn't hold the accuation of the flippers by pressing and holding the button, typically I cradle a pinball as part of my playstyle. The music was very nice. Overall a solid experience! Nice to see a pinball game make it into this Jam.

That's classic. Nice work :)

The atmosphere was great. I liked the music a lot, it fit very well. The graphics could use a little work though, I was a bit confused at first as to why I was dying, I didn't realize the lives were going down. Maybe indicate that a little more somehow.

Nice game! Making a pinball game was a great move to match the theme.

Not to mention that it trully is inevitable that a ball is going to get stuck in this area eventually x) Screenshot_29.png

Overall nice job! Here's my highscore: Screenshot_30.png

One more thing: The controls are wrong. It say in the game that you use QW for the pedals and AS to shake, but it's actually QE and AD

Omg pinball is so smart for this theme?? Never would've crossed my mind. I really enjoyed it as I haven't played in a while! Nice job on the atmosphere, I liked the theme of your pinball game!

I love having a pinball game where you're hitting coworkers away! Great idea. The music felt really, really good. I would recommend a faster moving ball the increase the energy and excitement and bigger paddles to counter it.

The screens says the paddles are Q and W, but actually they are Q and E :p

Pinball seems like the perfect analogy for this theme, well done!

Thank you for the feedback,

I've updated the instructions so the right keys should appear for anyone that plays the game now

Great music, gorgeous cover, and nice gameplay. I also liked that you can shake the screen. I had a very pleasant time playing your game, I hope it will someday be released in the full version

I haven't played pinball in ages!! Pretty solid. I would suggest maybe making the pallets be able to be held in place if you hold the button. That was a tactic I used to always use playing pinball when I was like 10 lol.

Interesting idea, having enemies marching toward you that you need to hit! Unique take on pinball. I like your cover art aesthetic. Wish that were more integrated into the game!

Great pinball, reminds me Windows XP's space cadet! Nice to see Godot represented as well. You have a nice, although quite depressing, story to tell :)
