Wow that's so hard to save some of the creatures xD I couldn't manage to lead any of them to the end (I made two attempts). One of the sequences is super long and very deadly. I liked the Taito/arcade like font, and the pachinko is a good idea to illustrate the theme. The controls and physics work well for the game, nicely done!
Very creative entry, love the idea. Some audio would be great, but other than that, the game is really polished, and very satisfying (although most of my creatures died in the process)
Love the dezoom graphics details, great game overall
Nice game idea, I liked having to pay attention to several things at once and micromanaging everything. The graphics are nice and build a very nice high contrast world. I also liked the addition of the gold token and it creating new tokens every checkpoint because damn did I need them.
Sometimes the tokens get completely stuck in some parts of the course and tilting them free is either really finnicky or will inevitably destroy some other tokens, which felt a bit unfair at times, but just focusing on getting the gold token through was a good counter strategy. Also I missed sound in this, just a few tiny sound bits for impacts or deaths would add a lot of atmosphere probably.
I loved this entry, I think the ability to shake the machine is really creative and fun. I love how long the level is, it makes it quite fun to try and keep as many of the creatures alive as possible. I wasn't able to keep the gold one alive though no matter how many times I tried :(
Overall this is a really good game, another of my favourites so far!
This entry is so nice, very Creative but also hard. I did not manage to Save the one I wanted to save… T-T Its one of my Favs so far! It would be great if you improve the Overall experience with Sounds /Audio.
Wow that's a great and innovative game!! I love how the screen is constantly scrolling up adding a layer of difficulty. Great job!
So sad it is not web game, and I can't play it on linux, but screenshots are cute.
This one is hard but still fun. Love how the tutorial is part of the level
woww!! i really like the vibes you've got going on this. that feels like one of the toughest parts of the jam, but this game has so much personality :)
I really wish it had sound. The messages showing you the controls are great
The way that the game path just keeps going down and down and down is really compelling -- really invites you to the challenge of getting the tiny creatures down to the end. I was not good enough to get any down there, and it does feel pretty random a lot of the time, but with some more practice I bet I would learn the paths and how to use the machine shake in order to win. Great submission!
This is really impressive! Makes me wish you could zoom all the way out just to see the entire path. A little bit of audio would go a long way, but it's still very engaging without. Managed to get a few to the end, but never the golden one.
Really loved the game, while playing this, the art style felt like a ummmm, when i was young and playing a game at a arcade
So simple but very cleverly design to make it interesting. The golden guy was especially compelling.
Super cool entry, and great interpretation of the theme.
Certainly very tricky and requires shaking the machine lots, but I started to get the hang of saving the little guys.
Just a small note, make sure to assign a platform when you upload to Itch, otherwise it won't let people download and install it through the Itch app (which sandboxes it, so people don't have to run random executables directly on their system).
Great little game, thank you.
@slippers thank you for pointing out the Itch download issue, I've ticked the windows platform box now! Also, thanks for the nice feedback in general :)
What a fun little game! I had one winner! I was rooting for it when it went for the middle into the long shaft :smile: Luckaly "normal distribution" is a thing, so there was a pretty big chance it would work out :)
Some music would have been cool btw. At least soundeffects. That really adds to a game
Very cool and interesting game! I managed to get two creatures through the chaos all the way to the end. I Wish there was some music and sound effects. I think it would have elevated the experience and brought a lot of charm to the chaos.
WOW, an interesting visual idea, quite creative! The gameplay is also very simple and fun! You did well

Great entry, very nice tutorial as well. Makes me want to bind the A & D keys to some motion controller for proper cabinet bashing!
good
Really cool idea, super cute graphics and fun gameplay. I also loved, that everything, including the tutorial and gameplay are all the same screen.
My favorite game of the Jam so far. Really like the concept and the execution was brilliant. Thanks for making this awesome game.
fun game. I think having scrolling through the level mapped to the scroll wheel might have been nicer because panning up and down to see where everything was felt a bit slow. I liked the balance of how much control you feel like you have over where the pieces go. Some sound effects would have really added to it, but I still enjoyed it.a lot, great work!
Great way to use a pachinko style game where there's strategy involved by tilting the machine to save whatever amount of creatures you have left!
