Wow, I didn’t think I’d ever play a pinball metroidvania but here we are. Everything about this game is so stylish and cool. The art is gorgeous and the room transitions feel so good. I made it to two staminas and level 6 before I got a little lost, but I’ll likely come back to to finish it properly.
The core idea here works really well. It felt really good to get that second stamina kick and suddenly unlock a ton more movement options.
I got stuck a few times so I appreciated the “restart at checkpoint” button. I noticed that there’s a little failsafe that nudges the ball in a direction if the ball’s speed ever hits zero, very clever! Really great job, loved this game. I was in awe when the ball first left the tutorial area and I got a glimpse of the tree and the main map.
