I like it and wanted to play more, but the slow progression really annoys me. This looked like chaotic arcade fun, but for 15 mins i was still on like 6 balls per round and 1 pin. Each one lasts too long. Its all just slow. Also the intro story annoyed me and i skipped through it, bcs i just wanted to get to the game i saw in video. Too many pins make the balls bounce far too long and some rounds feel like forever bcs of it. Reduce pin count, increase bounce distance to keep chaos, but resolves faster. Prices are too steep as well, that i cant progress

Hey! Thanks for playing our demo ^^
We've added a skip story toggle on the main menu :)
We've also been touching up the early game progression to make it faster and less frustrating. Since the game is built around how well of a pachinko you build and if you minmax or not your ball pool it could take longer tho.
There are multiple systems at play that you gotta be spending your money in to maximize the amount of points you get per run, so we've also been touching up the tutorials to really nail in the importance of each one.
The bounciness of balls may be something that may frustrate you in the early stages of the game, but as soon as you have multiple pins on the pachinko, you actually want the balls to bounce from pin to pin more. So it would be counterintuitive to modify it just for the first 15-20 minutes in a 4-6 hour game imho.
I'll upload a new build with all of the changes we've done in a bit. There are a lot of great QOL changes there that I haven't mentioned.
Would love if you gave it a go ^^
