Did you use any existing assets? If so, list them below.
I've used some free assets from the Unity Asset store, a hat, some textures and some music and sounds. I'll list them in the credits screen of the game itself.

I was really impressed by this submission at first given how it was basically a functioning pinball game even if it was very basic, but then LEVEL 2 CAME AND I COULD SHAKE THE MACHINE! That was intense and I didn't end up beating it but you guys definitely put a lot of work into this I just wish it was better optimized because I was getting lag problems and also you could have made it scale responsively to be better formatted for the page and exported with the minimal preset instead of the big unity WebGL logo. Other than that though, it was a blast to play and deserving of the sacred 5 Stars for FUN.
Awesome, thanks mate, once the jam is over I'm going to swap it back to being primarily a windows based downloadable game, that should fix any performance issues. I'll look into those other points though, didn't even know I could change the Unity WebGL logo heh.
Yeh Level 1 was deliberately kept simple so people could get through it fast and get the theme reference of beating Death being just the beginning of the game :)
There is now a downloadable version if you wish to try it. :)
I really liked this entry, I couldn't beat the 2nd level though, by the time I got there I only had 2 lives left, I would probably make an easy mode where the player has unlimited lives or something to help players experience the game
Thanks for the feedback, at this stage there are only two levels, but level 2 does have extra ball and score multipliers to go for a really big score.
To think I started giving the player only 3 balls, how crazy was that.
Nice game! Good work.
I love this pinball simulator, indeed, really well simulated physics for the ball! Used to play a lot of pinball machines. I have a bug to report though, which made me have to restart the game when i was at about 5k of score but the ball got stuck and the flipper became twir..ky? basically the ball would launch vertically a tiiiiny bit and then back to being stuck:
O the top left of the "A" paddle on the image.
Cheers, and nonetheless a very good game. I think tomorrow i'll download it since the browser version was a bit laggy on that map for me.
PS: what's up with itchio and weird errors when sending messages? LOL it said the message had to be between 1 and -214700000(whatever) characters long xDD
Hi mate, there is a tilt function on the S and K keys that should get you past getting stuck anywhere.
I added the artists flippers in late and ran out of playtest time for that, but yeh I can make some minor changes to locations and angles for that flipper.
As another physics guy I'm glad you liked it.
I haven't seen the itch messaging error and take no responsibility for it :)
" haven't seen the itch messaging error and take no responsibility for it :)"
Hahahahah, itchio seems to really lie trolling me when sending comments, got that error quite a few times today :P
Also, didn't notice the tilt thing, i will download it tommorrow and try again, else at this rate i won't sleep, lol. (5:30am xD)
This is a great pinball simulator. I loved all the pinball mechanics in it. It took me back to my uncles garage, he had a couple of pinball machines in the garage when I was growing up. Great Job! Impressive.
Thanks, I looked at some machines recently and for the ones I used to play (eg Playboy) they want 5k-7k.
Making my own is cheaper:)
I'm not very good at pinball but I enjoyed it! Great work mate!
Thanks :)
Really got that pinball feel down good. Nice work!
I played this for a lot longer that I thought would! 17,589 was my best score (I think).
That's a great score.
I'd love to see Tim and Rick play a game each and compete muhawawaw :)
Extremely fun love it!!
This storyline is nuts but love me some pinball even if I am terrible. Great work. I was bumping this table like it went out of style.
Hah nice :)
Yeh the storyline isn't based on reality fortunately. The dumb shit we write when we are tired eh :)
Awesome pinball game. Was surprised i couldn't tilt by bumping all the time, but i wouldn't say it's a bad thing :P Good Job!
Yeh I need to think about a tilt design, and I also need to come up with a longitudinal tilt rather than just the lateral ones, because to be honest when I play pinball I only ever nudge the ball longitudinally.
For the jam I needed the lateral one as a priority though to stop people getting stuck in loops :)
cheers
Yeah I get that, honestly I enjoyed it. Might try my hand at one. Love the display at the top too
The pinball that was available back in windows XP was one of my childhood favourites, felt really cool to play this with the theme twist, good stuff man and congrats on the high ratings!
Thanks mate :)
Neat little pinball game. Can't say I've seen many pinball games in jams ever. You all did a great job of translating this and making it feel like pinball games. Now, if only I liked pinball lol...
Top notch programmer art and functional presentation is the right target for a game jam, especially when it's clear you spent the most focus on getting the pinball to feel right. That's super important, so well done on that. However, I would have liked to see a less direct 1-1 translation of a table. I didn't notice the ticker at the very top until way later. Score and other info could easy have been on the sides, right? The side pins on the first stage felt a little unforgiving, but it could also be being terrible at pinball!
Congrats again on making such a complete experience for a jam game. well done!
I was going for that 90's scoreboard on the backboard feel but yeh that did present its own challenges.
Thanks for playing even if its not your thing.
nice pinball game. I had some scale issues on a smaller monitor but managed to get it to work.
Thanks, something to add to my checklist for future games.
very cool way to incorporate the theme :) i liked the sounds!
Noice :)
Rated!
Your game was fun, very moody.
Love a good pinball game. I think my favourite part was how you interpreted the theme. With ‘Death’ being the beginning, I thought that was very clever.
Thank you, glad you liked my interpretation.
Fun little game. The artwork and effects are not the greatest lol.
I liked the gameplay it was a good simulation of a pinball.
Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy
I'll definitely try yours, to be fair to the artist supplied the flippers and bumpers, which I think are awesome, I used my prototype art for the rest and I'm no artist. And yeh I'm on the steep part of the learning curve for effects also but having fun learning it.
Fun game and made me smile. One small criticism is that I think the viewing angle is a bit low. But overall I'm impressed and I am going to download your source to see how you did it.
Thats good feedback, thanks, I'll have a play with the viewing angle post-jam.
Good stuff
(carn Dee's!)
Another aussie, awesome :)
