Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- What happens if you mix fruit merge with pinball, we get powerball. In this game, you have to play as if it were a pinball, trying to mix different balls to achieve larger balls. If I had to improve something, it would be to fix the giant balls that jam the pinball, although I suppose this was to be expected.

A fun and interesting combination of 2 types of games! The gameplay was quite enjoyable and I liked the art style. Nice work!
Kind of fun! But it’s a bit frustrating when a ball appears just between the paddles :(
Nice! Bit of a thrill once the balls really start stacking up. I did eventually run into the basketball blocking the exit which was a fun touch.
The github link leads to a 404, or perhaps the repo isn't public. Worth fixing so the judges can see it!
Ah. Thank you for the alert. I have fixed the visibility now.
Unique idea, nice job!
That's my type
Great game
Thanks for your submission!
I enjoyed the spin on Suika but got surprised when the concept turned into a bit of chaos. In the end I was spamming both flips at all times, which made the pinball part of the game less about aiming balls but timing it so you lose the least balls.
As you probably know, once the basketball gets in place, all the player does is wait until the flips break under the physics bumps.
yeah. it makes a pretty good screensaver right :-)
merging game and pinball in one, fun concept, i wanted to find out how big the ball could become, good game
THE CASUAL MUSIC IS GREAT!! and my score 1610
It was a neat idea I grasped quickly. There's a lot of room to add to this concept by borrowing from pinball games!
Great idea! curious to see how this game will evolve
Nice game!
Are you aware of the github repo belonging to your submission of last year?
Thank you. It is fixed now.
Interesting concept. It is a fun game.
I’m glad you did a spin on the popular Suika Game (and not a copy.) The combination effect is cool, and I like how the balls are all in the same style. The balls could maybe have some more gravity and speed to make the game more challenging, but all in all a good concept
Simple but fun, I wish there was a mode that let me play longer like 100 lives or something
Love it! very fun mechanic
Fun idea! I think I won the game, just blocked the hole with a basketball which makes it impossible to lose :)
Yeah!!! IM prepared to patch that later ;-)
Nice idea!
nice
Solid little game with a neat concept :D
