Pachinko tactics

Gamba bad, but game good! Nice one

This feels very good to play! The UI feels responsive and cohesive. I love the art style. I like that if you drop the food in the same place there's some variation in how it falls.

I loved this! Awesome! Great use of the pegs and arcade claw, nice art and presented well design wise.

I learnt that one pet is enough for me!

Amazing graphics! The game was very fun, but i felt it got hard once you lost one of the pets. Fun incorporation of gambling ;)

Really polished entry: great overall execution of a very unique idea (well, at least I've never seen something like this). My only complaint (and I this is just personal preference) is that it felt too slow: carefully setting each ball up and slowly making choices... I'd love to see a version of it that was more like Pachinko: lots and lots of balls that all affect the outcome a little each. So, dropping the ball would drop, like, 20 balls that bounces all over the place: some hitting targets, some getting eaten some not... and then being able to continue making moves before balls even finished.

That would make the game less strategy focused - but would make it more frenetic and arcade-y.

Anyhoo, a really cool original idea and well executed. GGs!

Love the creature design, and their names >:D I like the sfx and the background music too, I feel like extra sound effects when the balls hit upgraded pegs would add to the gambly ambiance.

Liked the design, but the popups and move my mouse to the drop button was a bit annoying. Overall an interesting concept.

Nice gambling-like game, design is great for me so it`s 5/5

Difficult! I like the concept. The creatures are cute. It feels like there should be some sort of partial credit if you get the wrong color, at least for money.
