I think this is a really cool idea! Its definitely fun to play a progressing pinball game. Two things that could use some tweaking are that the aberration effect is very strong and kind of distracting. Also there were no instructions so it took some time to figure out what to do.

The game was so easy to understand compared to some other jam games I have played. Its pinball, but big! I really enjoyed exploring the space. Also really good call on the color coated paddles, it was really easy to tell left from right! Only thing I would change is the camera effect you have on the game where the center bulges out. It is a cool effect but maybe could be removed in a post jam build in my opinion. Congratz on such a fun entry!

Thanks a lot! I'll definitely tone down the lens distortion a bit too

game feels super smooth and nice to play and the graphics and music are pretty nice :)

Really great idea, I found the second screen to be super hard to get past, but I guess that's the point. I would probably pay money for a full fledged game like this.


Foddian fits perfectly with pinball, so that was a nice idea.

Love the visual style and music in this game. The idea to incorporate multiple plungers into the level design is a great way to give the player more to do than just using flippers.

The camera also tracks the ball really well without feeling jittery, which I think is an easily overlooked, but really difficult thing to nail down. 

Painball is such a good name too. Really pissed I didn't think of that one LOL.

Great work! :)

Thanks! My mate actually came up with the name but I'll pass that on.

Took me a while to figure out how to start (i.e. holding down both buttons at once) but once I cracked that case I had a lot of fun! it's a super solid pinball game! The graphics are also very cool, i'm curious what exactly you did to make it look like that!

Thanks! It's just using Unity's post-processing effects, check them out here :

In fact, the game is not bad, but the idea of this game is too used.

Your game reminds me of sonic pinball. also pin ball fits the theme really well, good job
