I liked this game, very original. It's way too short, unless I'm missing a way to gain time back? Even though I only sorta get what's happening on the bottom half, It still lights up and makes pretty colors and cool noises and i get lots of points. Just like real pachinko haha! :D

How does your game interprets the theme?
I built the game based on the concept of the Overlord game where a leader sends him minions into battle pikman style! Mix that with Plinko and you have Git Gold!
What Haxe game engine or framework did you use?
Kha, my fork of Echoes, and my EchoSystem project which is going to get alot of the benefits from the jam

Yeah, agreed, the design of the main character needed reiterated on. It was taken from one of my old jam games and then made smoother (since I’m a much better pixel artist than i was then). In that game, he was catching arrows, so I can see how I should have just lost the top bit or changed it up.
As for the bottom guys, I feel like I should have made the font say +1 instead of 1 or 3 or 5 and had fewer of them so you can tell what they are doing when they collect. Right now they’re quite a bit noisy. Course a help page would have gone a long way I think :P
Yip, all fair. I actually threw the throwing mechanic in late in the game, and it sped up the gameplay ALOT! I think it made it impossible to care about who was where at the bottom (I’d initially considered just making them a conga line at the bottom rather than running around). I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to do a simple indicator for the throw distance. If I develop this further into an arcade game I might have to do that! Glad you liked the concept!
