How did you/your team interpret the theme?
Instead of controlling the hero, you control the flippers on the pinball table.
How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
Fun! A little stressed and time constrained, but yeah. It was really fun!

great concept, it made me laugh!
Using a pinball idea, it's great concept for ,,you are not a hero" game!
Now that's an original approach! Making hero pinball game? Such a great idea :D
Good work!
I'm giving a lot of this a pass since you ran out of time, but while I love the concept, the execution is a little lacking. Enemies stopped spawing after 60-70 points, losing/keeping health feels random even though I know how it works, and all the pixel sizes for the art are off. It's a bit of a shame really, I like the concept, and having an unbalanced player in a pinball game seems like fun.
Still, it's very impressive that you managed to submit at all! Definitely deserves to be polished and worked on more.
Pinball hero seems like a fun idea! Definitely ran into some weirdness where enemies just seemed to stop spawning. Could be interesting to see this expanded further post-jam. Congrats on being able to submit even with all your setbacks!
Love the art and the sound makes it feel good! Simple controls and for the most part plays nice. I ran into a few weird things but solid got a game jam! I'd love to see it expanded. Nice work 😁
"I'd love to see it expanded." - Me too! It has a lot of potential!
I tried several times and ran into bugs with the monsters not moving, but wow! I think this concept is really cool. My brain immediate took me to all these wonderful possibility you could expand your game. You could really expand this to being a tower defense pinball game where the knight is protecting a castle from hordes of an invading army. trying to get through the flippers which are doors to the castle. At the end of each round the camera could pan down into the castle and provide upgrades like trebuchet shooting from behind the flippers etc! Really cool concept!
Yo! Those are amazing ideas! I love it! After a bit of a break I'll definitely upgrade this project, with things like upgrades and more levels. There are some strange bugs with the enemies, but as I wrote, the ideas I spent 2 days on didn't quite work out, leaving me with a lot less time then I'd have wanted. But all in all, thank you for taking the time to give feeback!
i thought it was great!
Thank you!
A good game! The art is good. A little bit hard but that's probably just me.
Maybe should've added a difficulty option... Well thats for another time.. Anyway, thanks!
