This is a lot of fun and I love how crazy it gets! The sounds are cool too, and I'd love to see some music in the future, and perhaps some balls with more powerups or something like that!

Pretty cute pinball game, with lots of fun frantic action once you start getting multiball. Wasn't sure what was derpy/surprising about it tho - aside from the balls going outside the walls?
Didn't expect to play a pinball game here, and the sudden addition of a new ball, haha you got me surprised there!
The only thing that I would like to change is making the gap between the paddle smaller. I lost a bunch of times, or maybe I'm just not good at pinball? :)
Game is pretty polished, game play is simple yet fun. Overall, great submission!
Thanks for the feedback. As others have mentioned, the game can be difficult at times, but I hope I was generous enough in giving extra balls, to offset that difficulty. As for losing a bunch of times, there were times in testing where I lost very early. It's really all about getting to those extra balls, and having that safety net.
This was a fun and creative take on pinball. Congrats on finishing the game for the jam.
Nice game! I love pinball but i'm terrible at it hahaa the graphics are great and the sounds are perfect. nice smooth controls and movement as well.
This game is really cool. My first 2 attempts went poorly but once I hit 1000 points it really ramped up. I like the gameplay and the sound effects were really good. My best score was 3390.
Thanks. For 95% of development, it "ramped up" twice as fast, but it got be overwhelming. It wasn't until the very end of development that I scaled back the ramp-up. Actually, I ended up having to scale back a number of things in this - ramp-up speed, audio (including adding the mute button), the background animations. It was seriously overwhelming at one point. It's kind of surprising how many minor tweaks this project required.
It should save your highscore for you, hopefully. Thanks for the report.
