Fun game and gave me a good reason to turn my scroll wheel lock off.

I think I may have gotten deadlocked (or finished the game) but it was fun!

Loved it, reminds me the good old days of windows pinball. Great sound effects btw, nice game.

The game is infuriating in the best way! Very whimsical and requires a lot of coordination that is usually not needed. Very creative!

Alright I'm back for real comments this time.

Great stuff! Very clever idea. Even in the 3 short levels, the things you had control of were used in interesting ways. I would have liked maybe some color coding? Something to maybe make it a bit more obvious what control drove what objects? Or maybe even like... a small, semi-transparent indicator over each thing you had control over? Either way, it wasn't too hard to learn so that's more of a nitpick than anything πŸ˜†

Gameplay was super fun. Controlling the different tools with different control schemes was neat. Only a couple small gripes. One was that the keyboard controls for mouse wheel and up/down felt super slow, basically unusable for me. I just stuck with the in game controls for those, using keyboard for space and shift. Also, the ball ended up too floaty. That's the thing that really made the pinball game I made for a prior LD lose a ton of points. But with how short and sweet your levels are, I don't think its too much of a problem. But it can be a bit dull waiting for the ball to slowly roll back down a slight slope. Looking at how fast balls roll in real pinball machines is what I SHOULD have done for this as a reference, and I think it would have helped this one out a bit as well.

However, with the ball being this floaty.... it let me get away with some nonsense that I really enjoyed.... Letting me get some crazy quick times on some levels

I think unless someone posts a screenshot of them getting a faster overall time, I'm happy letting this "record" be. I wonder if there's some kind of trick to cheese the 3rd level..... hmmmmmmm

Anyways, awesome concept and very solid execution of the idea!

I SUCK at this πŸ˜† So, the graphics are simple but clear, there is no tutorial but with trial and error you'll get there for a gamejam. For me it was complicated as you needed different ways to move things which confued me and gave me stress when I was about to fall oooops. I have not finished the game as I was repeating the same bit over and over but it was not a bad one at all. I do miss more audio, think it would have kept me focused and involved more. The objective is clear, finish the level with the things given, figure out ways to use them and keep in mind... Gravity and speed! A bit more of an introduction be it with voice, text, story or alike would make it more attracting for me personally, it depends however on the audience you aim for.

Really fun game, it's funny I had the idea to make this kind of "retro game" for this LD but eventually chose something else, so I was happy to see someone do it :)

genuinely really fun and a charming theme. I sat here for 10 minutes trying to get good times, reminds me of that one 3d marble game i see on youtube sometimes

I liked the red wheel mechanic the most. it’s a fun way to control your position.

I loved it, really fun mechanics! Sometimes a bit finnicky when the ball had to move from 1 element to the next, but all around I enjoyed playing the game!

Fun entry! It's always fun to play around with physics objects - we actually considered a physical control panel as well for our entry!

Like already mentioned by another comment it was quite easy to manipulate some objects (the wooden pegs for example) in such a way that kinda breaks the game by being able to launch the ball at incredible speed. The ding soundbite was 10/10, I feel like having more (pinball-ey) sounds would've added a lot to the whole experience

I had fun with it overall, keep it up =D

Very innovative!!! the controls are kinda busted when using just the mouse (can use multiple controls at the same time). Your approach to this type of game was very unique, I enjoyed this!

Getting the hang of controlling the red wheel takes some practice, but I like this take on pinball. Well done!
