I think some more research into pinball machine layouts needs to be done, as the placement of the flippers, and the general flow of the board, doesn't work well.
Wow, I hadn't even considered a non-video game as a project idea for this jam. Kudos on thinking outside of the box! It brought me back to spending plenty of quarters at my local pizza place.
I'd like to see more boards with this engine too, but I'm not sure how much I agree with the bottom flipper placement. Maybe that's just because the left gutter ate all my balls ):
Awesome to see pinball on here! I definitely recognize the more sparse layout from the earlier electromechanical pinball games, though I will say the layout of the bumpers and flippers makes it feel like I have very little control over the ball - the flippers almost seem to be angled to make them ineffective.
But you should totally take this engine and do some other boards!

It works, but the layout is super wacky. Good luck with your next game. :)
Pinballs are fun!
Maybe too little detail for my tastes...
