Awesome game, I played because my game was also Pinball. I think we even got inspired by the same traditional Pinball layout, but I loved how you integrated a story into yours that makes sense why you move the ball and even has a "moral" at the end. The art style I thought was cool as well with the simple hand drawing but really stylized and the pinball a nice made by clean 3D shapes.
While playing I found a bug where if you spam space at the beginning to skip the dialog (I was playing the 2nd time to see what happened when you got caught), you may accidentally add multiple balls to the game. Not gonna lie it was funny!
Thanks for the great feedback! I was having trouble with a couple of those stuck spots you mentioned and I really should have been more thorough in checking for them. I think I also should have been better about making the dialogue clear about what I was trying to go for, making it more clear that I was trying to subvert the trope of "doing thing well causes guy to 'get' the girl" and emphasize the value of friendship while criticizing the toxic competition between people that so much media promotes. I was hoping that the stilted/awkward/Saturday morning cartoon nature of the dialogue would help that come across, but I think many people will miss my silly message.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback!
