Art are insane !
Orignality too !

Another game too complicate for my brain but i loved the ambiance ! ^^

Developer

Thanks! I liked the atmosphere of your game too =)

Wow, one of the best games I've played. It's real interesting to choose the pinball arena for a wave based game. The combination of planning where to drop each ball, using a power up, paying attention at both upper and bottom parts of the screen and actually playing pinball is quite perfect. 
My only complaint would be that I felt like the level design and physics made it difficult for the balls to drop down, it took quite some time before I could use the flippers.
That was a really impressive entry !

Thank you! It was a blast working on it. I definitely like the hectic gameplay that was more or less a result of our design choices, but it can be tricky to get the hang of!

Great feedback! I'd love to expand on it, polish it up and finetune the physics. Thanks again =)

The art style is on point, I really like this kind of game. The gameplay was fun, maybe make the ball heavier because it was kinda hard to destroy all the enemies. Overall a fun experience!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! If we make any adaptations to the game I'd definitely like to fine-tune the ball physics.

This is a cool game, the art style reminds me of limbo. Well done!

Limbo inspired us to go with this art style! =)

Nice combination ! Survival works great on me when you have to take the ball and at same time look over the one you already drop ^^ Music give the perfect mood too =)

Developer

We’re glad you enjoyed it! I loved working on the hectic gameplay.

The concept is really cool, music on point and a great artwork and mood. Some bounces are a bit strange and there are some small bugs with the balls, but I loved it :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! Definitely discovered some bugs post release that kill me to see as one of the programmers, but I guess that’s to be expected.

🥺 Thank you

An unexpectedly fun combination! Using the upgrades felt really satisfying once I figured out how they worked.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Our goal was to keep the feel of both genres rather than just slap a theme on one. Definitely wanted to add a tutorial/intro scene if we had more time.

Love me a pinball-like!

Wow, I love the aestetics, really Limbo-Like. Great job !!! The gameplay is really fun too !!!!

Developer

Thanks a bunch! 😄

Submitted(+1)

Really nice idea! It takes two simple and well known concepts and fuses them into something fun and new :) AND it looks nice, plays nice and sounds nice. Good job! 

Submitted(+1)

Awesome! I suck at it but still, really cool!

Developer

It’s hard! 😅

Submitted(+1)

The combination of Pinball and survival is suuper cool and very well implemented. My only gripe is since pinball can be random I could forsee a lot of "cheap deaths" but this is really great :)

Developer

Thank you! Yeah we'd like to have added a little more player choice or health pickups to balance that.

Submitted(+1)

I Like the dark atmosphere the art and the sounds,it's a really creative way to mix these genres!

Developer

Thanks a ton! =)
