Hey, I will drop my feedback below:
- Which Flippers feel/work better? Top or Bottom?
I think bottom flippers have more room to improve. maybe some lateral flipper in that area or some more intrincated design would help.
- Are there any elements you don't understand?
I didn't get how many lives I got left or why I'm doing what I'm doing story-wise.
- Do you want to know more about certain elements?
I don't quite get why the aesthetic has some OS windows popping out, I'm intrigued by that.
- What is your opinion on the weapon choice?
It's nice in general, I find it really odd that active items activate themselves it is general convention that the player must activate active items. I think you should find better naming if you want to go down that route.
- What is the thing/aspect you like most?
I like the custom build aspect.
- What don't you like?
I don't resonate with the purple parts of the aesthetic. Besides I would recomend making the ball pop up more and making the character frame less predominant (being the only thing that has varied colors in the scene and its size makes it pop a lot imo and distracts a bit from gameplay). Also the ball could be a little bigger or clearer to see somehow, sometimes it does get loss with all the abilities and damage numbers popping out.
Gameplay-wise I would recommend capping ball speed a little bit since sometimes it gets really fast and it becomes hard to follow. Furthermore I found it frustrating when the ball landed in the middle of the flippers with no way to save it.
- How do you perceive the difficulty?
I think it's ok. Having a way to unlock permanent upgrades after each run would be nice though.
- Is the game fair?
Yeah, It is (mostly). Huge ball speed and the ocassional ball falling right in the middle of the flippers make it unfair sometimes.
- Do you normally enjoy other Pinball or Survivorlike Games?
Yeah I do like both of them.
Overall I want to say that from all the games that I played this far this one was the first one that made me feel a strong "I will play one more" factor. It's going in a good direction, keep it up!
