This was a really interesting idea. I wish the actual bumper interactions felt a bit more juicy, but I appreciate the old pc game style vibe. Really leaned into the western vibe - well executed.

How does your game represent "Power"?
We started with the idea of "Power Pinball" which naturally spiraled into a game about shooting balls at high velocity around a wooden board.

The presentation is amazing, the concept is super unique and it's MULTIPLAYER. Nice one.
Wish I had some friends to play this with in person, this would make a really fun party game. The quickdraw mechanic, the bonus for the ricochet, pity pete, it's all really well thought out. I had a great time. Great game!
Oh man the intro music goes off! I wish it kept playing during the gameplay too. Really neat idea, great art, and I quite liked the tension of waiting to pull the trigger. Really well done!
Great visuals. Would love to see more levels and have more ways for the balls to ping around the board. I can see myself getting back to this later on.
Impressive to see a 4 player game in a game jam. The main gamemechanic is really innovative and graphics feel quite nostalgic This would be a blast with 3 friends. Great job on the game!
Excellent game! I liked the vibe of the old arcade PC games. Will definitely try playing it with my friends.
ironically reminds me of the computer games i used to play on my grandparent's laptop LOL super nostalgic and still fresh!! great work!!
This is neat! I can see this being especially fun as a party game. Reminds me of Space Cadet pinball as far as aesthetic goes, which is great in my book. Maybe I'll try it out with some friends!
Wow, I enjoyed that. I wish there was a little finer control on positioning, but I enjoyed it - it didn't take long to understand the mechanics of the game too, only a couple of rounds.
This is a pretty unique take on pinball, and you definitely nailed the aesthetics of the late 90s computer games, especially Space Cadet pinball!
I love pinball and got excited to see an entry... disappointed it's not pinball lol, but really thrilled at this twist, very cool idea and graphics!
Nice aesthetic and music. Would recommend having the layout maybe change or have a bumper at the top that shuffles the board.
AMAZING! I love the presentation, and as a huge pinball fan it's very well made!
Dang, why has it been so long since i've played a good pinball game?! Well done!
