Game Description
A Virtual Pinball Game themed around witches, potions, and ORB
How does your game tie into the theme?
First way is a pinball ball is an orb technically. And second and main one we went for is a Magic Orb and we decided to go for a witch that uses a magic orb.

Good pinball fun with a nice launch mechanic. Excellent music.
I personally don't like pinball games but this one is really great.
I love the artwork and the music you have for this, but I'm having trouble even getting the ball launched. I've tried holding down the space bar for both long and short periods of time and waiting for the orb to fill up, but at best the ball travels up a little more than half a screen. Not nearly enough to leave the chute. How are you supposed to launch the ball?
the plunger in pinball is what typically first launch the ball. You can press and hold down, s, or x to "pull" it and the release for initial launch. The magic is more of an extra movement on the board :)
Love the aesthetic and the mechanic of controlling the orb for a limited time. Very fun pinball game.
Wait didn't you already comment on my game? XD
Oh wow, the summer weather must be melting my brain, I thought i didn't left a comment! Sorry for the double comment, I'm deleting the old one.
edit: lmao, I wrote basically the same thing, at least I'm consistent.
So good! Very excellent implementation of pinball. Love the added spacebar mechanic, very cool. I wanted to brew the potion so bad, but couldn't get it! Everything was so well polished. The art was all fantastic, as well as the sound and music.
Amazing entry!
Most fun I have had on a pinball game this jam, loved the aesthetic!!
That was awesome! I'm by no means a pinball connoisseur (as my highscore will attest), but I still had a lot of fun with this one. The music is fantastic, too; fun, cheeky, and just magical-feeling. Great work!
Nice witchery art and authentic pinball physics. The only thing I miss the most is actually the random bouncing parts in traditional pinball.
I love pinball games. Physics is good. Theme interpertation is good. Usually pinball games have a lot of "noise", that is missing in your game.
Awesome job -- love the "magic" feature and the camera following the ball (or orb) makes it a lot easier to see the table.
Awesome! It's got everything I would expect from a pinball table, and the re-aiming mechanic was a really nice touch to make it a little easier.
It's a very fun and well-made pinball game that I could play all day.
Great work.
