Pinball Tower Defense, definitely innovative. Was pretty fun all around, but I do wish the pinball flipper bats (I think that's how it's called) were all lined up with the orbs below.
I always like blending of genres. Very Original entry. Good Job!
I need to say, I wasn't expecting a game of pinball + tower defense, it's very original and works perfectly XD.
The graphics are awesome! Very Kawaii. The music and SFX combine too much with the game and the gameplay is consistent.
Congrats for this great job! I really have some fun with your game =).
Wow! Best mechanic for a "pinball" game I have ever seen! I couldn't stop playing until I got that evil witch! It was really very fun playing with the sphere and placing just in the right spot to start the volcano and the other points. I just got stuck once in the final level, the sphere went past everything to the right and than stayed there until I die. But it restart at the same level, so that was fine :-D The music and SFX work really fine together, as does the art and mechanics! Thanks for the great game!
What a cool and unique idea. I really like these types of games where gameplay mechanics from other games are controlled by 2D character. For me the flipper paddles felt a bit underwhelming as they moved a bit slowly. Great job on this one.
I'm sorry, but if you are experiencing screen clipping, please play the standalone version.
Didn't get any further than the title screen because the screen was cut off.
I liked the music but I unfortunately could not play, the bottom of the screen was cut off.
I'll look into the cause.
My sincerest apologies.
Wow, very cute and innovative game. It's not easy to send the orb where you want, but it plays out somehow anyway.
Thank you for playing!
this was really cute and you made great use of effects i loved hitting the volcano
Happy, thank you
The game didn't fit on my screen, it was a little bit sad. The images look great.
I am so sorry!
I created the game at 1600x900, and this may be the problem.
I'll see if I can work around it in the settings, my apologies.
This is a mix of genres I've never seen before. Really interesting stuff and fun to play!
If I had any feedback I think I'd prefer assigning buttons to the levers instead of having to hit the orbs with the character. There can be a lot of enemies on the screen and I feel like I'm fighting with the controls more than it being natural.
The combination of a tower defense game and a pinball game was a challenge for me to make since I had never seen it before, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
thank you for your valuable feedback, you're right, I should have thought about the game design a bit more.
Thank you for playing!
Really creative idea! Great job
thank you very much
Interesting game play & mechanic! Well done!
Really cool, and a pretty surprising concept !
I feel this is a really clever and unexpected mix of genres here so i won't spoil it as i think the suprise really adds to the experience :D
I like the character designs and spritework in general,
gameplay wise it feels solid, i'd say the only issue is that it can be a bit hard to keep up given the nature of the controls.
One more thing, just so you know i think i found a bug while playing, at one point i got the energy orb stuck in the trees at the bottom right, below the wands, and for some reason it didn't reset so i was softlocked there.
Other than these small issues, i had a good time.
Well done :)
I sincerely appreciate your sincere gameplay and review!
Well i always try to have the most detailed feedback possible so glad you apreciate :p
Is Funny
thank you!
