I only played one table, got to act IV in my first try! It's pretty fun, but I'm pretty bad at pinball games and once the middle protective bumper is gone, I died pretty fast. Maybe you can make it easier for beginners? Maybe made a difficulty option or some options that you can toggle for harder mode but get more points, like in Hades?
Yeah I've tried to make things a bit easier for beginngers now, yesterdays patch resets the blockers when you lose a ball so hopefully that keeps things going a bit longer. There are 7 difficulty settings in teh game as it stands, each one adding a small change but cumulatively they add up to being really hard, similar to Balatro. The Hades difficulty settings might work better tbh now that you mention it, I'll have a think! Thanks for playing!
