I really enjoyed this! the sounds are amazing haha. Great job!
Thank you, very glad to hear you enjoyed it!
cool 64x64 pinball with multiball mechanic! i loved it
Thanks very much!!
The physics on the pinballs are very nice, it's satisfying to watch them whiz around the screen. The score bonus and accompanying music are super satisfying. The mouse controls are a bit unintuitive and slow, the game got better when shifting to A and D instead. The only gameplay problem I ran into was a nasty tendency for the right flipper to launch the pinball straight up vertically, repeatedly. This happened often with the bonus ball. The graphics are a touch plain, although the visual effects on the pinballs help and the sound effects and music go a long way in adding charm.
Thanks for playing, yep if you hit the ball with a flipper directly over the center it can go up and down forever, due to it bouncing straight up when hitting a flat surface like the fully extended flipper. A way to get around this is to counter-intuitively just let the ball drop and hit the angled flipper to get it back in play. Good point though, ideally that situation shouldn't happen at all!
