Great concept, although in my opinion the role reversal aspect is not really present here, since you still play a pinball game as a normal player. 

Regardless, considering you made this in 24 hours, you did a great job! The main mechanic is interesting and fun to play. The visual effects on hit are also a nice touch. The only problem i can see here is that after couple of wins you can just plug the holes, so your ball won't fall, but to be honest, that's not much of a problem and can be fixed later if needed.

I think 3d is superfluous, it could have been done better and faster in 2d

nice idea, I have not seen similar

The game is so much fun and it looks so good. I initially play it because it was a Pinball theme like mine, but the idea of creating your own Pinball machine was so fun, one of the best games I played so far. 

Also, I found a bug where you can place the bumper outside the machine, thankfully when you do this it gives you the bumper back, but keeps the other one floating which was really funny.

Ah, and good luck with whatever you were studying for!

Lovely idea!

Ha! As a pinball enthusiast, who likes to phantasize about building their own pinball table, I enjoy this concept quite a bit. The physics are a bit wonky, but sure they are hard to get right, especially within such a short time and it is quite easy to make the game pretty much unlosable (see the pic below). But I would pay some bucks for a full version of this, I guess! :>

Neat game! I quite liked pretty much designing the level. I think I ran into some bugs though as I won some rounds without realising what I had done. Nice job overall though!

This was good! Building your own pinball machine is fun. I would have liked the ball to be a little heavier / faster, but got laughs out of 'this is the perfect plan' *immediately fails* 'oh no!' moments. :)

Spectacular, especially for half the jam time. If I could give enjoyment a 6, I would.

Got 60,000 points in less than a second using three blocks :D (Edit: Now at 2.26 million points! Screen overflow!)

I thought I had found the coolest bug when I realized I could place a bumper outside the arcade machine (and it gives you the bumper back by the way), but you definitely found the best one.

 I try your strategy myself and it worked 100%, but I don't have the willpower to go to 2 million.

It truly is chaotic! I can place objects in the spawn and get infinite points in seconds brilliant! Jokes aside I love this its a great game quite fun even when exploiting :) but might wanna add some checks so you cant overlap objects or block spawn and block death zones
