It was great, at the point that I played the last level first (I had a bug, instead of starting the first level it started last), and I understood everything without any tutorial, and it was FUN! Then I tried the others, and I was a bit disappointed because they were more simple (of course you would say, the last level is more complex). This brings me to the point that your game is fantastic and I want to see more of it. I would literally spend 20 bucks if it was on Steam or anything. By far one of the best games of this jam, congrats!

Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm really sorry that you had that experience -- I completely missed that bug that happened in my last minute changes. I'm really glad you enjoyed it though!

Great idea and even better execution of that idea. Would actually love and buy it if you ever decide to make this a  full standalone game.

Great idea, I've always been a massive fan of pinball! Been looking for old school pixel art type games for a while now since summer started. I just love the art and you can truly see the amount of effort, time, care and love that went into this! Beautiful project, hope to see more from y'all in the future :) - Khai

Normally I leave reviews that aren't serious such as "Peak Gaming - Biggie" but this is by far the best jam game I have played as of yet. This is the type of game I would buy a full release of. There is a lot to be very proud of here. - Biggie

I've been playing for the last 30 minutes and I'm kinda addicted.
