How does your game fit the theme?
Instead of the pinball being an uncontrollable agent (like in most pinball games), you can control the ball by nudging an impulse on it and better navigate the level

Cool idea, though I wished it focused more on controlling the ball. Would be interesting if I had stronger control over the ball and no or very little control over the flippers. Sometimes the flippers bug out and cause the ball to fly straight down after shortly being pushed up, dunno why.

I like the music a lot, fun tune!

Simple and fun idea, the music is awesome, but the background could use a little something extra visually.

I liked the idea. It was fun to learn how to control the ball although a little difficult. Maybe just make one button to control the flippers. I wanted to push the "A" for the left flippers since I'm using my left hand for pushing A. My mind is just too used to real pinball where you use your left hand for left flippers.

The pinball is so cursed it's a square. Takes some getting used to, but is a fun game. Did have some issues with the ball falling through the top most flipper though.

Nice game, I played it because it was a similar idea to mine, but the execution was super different and so good. I also got the square stuck at the bottom sometimes, and I think the biggest problem with that is it happens if you don't move the ball at all, so it's almost bound to happen on your first time when you don't know the controls too much. Maybe you could position the ball so it fall on the lever or some sort of ground just so the player has time to understand the controls better.

But the game was great. Rhe music and sound effects were really good as well.

I liked the idea a lot, but the implementation and presentation could be smoother. For instance, in the channel at the bottom, the 'ball' get stuck under the lever. Similarly, the 'ball' is a square for some reason.  Great idea, and had some fun for a little bit.
