Correlation to theme
My idea was that of all the pinball machines in Pinball City, the townspeople's favorite was broken. I imagined this soundtrack being played in a cozy RPG where the player talks to the lazy towns repairman who takes forever in answering help tickets. I am not sure if I captured the 'pinball' aesthetic but I hope you enjoy!

Great start to this. The bouncy electronic sounds work well for a pinball theme. Beepbox is a fun tool! Thanks for sharing!
There is a bit little going on sadly, but the repetition is not annoying. I am just wanting a bit more :). Make the melody a bit louder and dominant; vary the bass a bit (move it up or down a bit); maybe add an entirely new section. There is a lot that could be done with this :)
This is adorable. It fits the description you laid out perfectly - it sounds like I just strolled into the arcade to play some pinball only to find a dozen other people crowding around the broken pinball machine, sharing their disappointment, but without sounding too downbeat or melancholic! Really cute, great work.
A little repetitive, but I liked, plus the idea of the pinball machines being broken is fun.
