got the ball stuck on the bumpers, just keeps going back and forth forever. i got it to happen right at the start and im at 45k right now, no sign of stopping. maybe make multiple hits hits on the bumper in a row have less and less force?
Thanks for reporting! I have re-released the old version (v2.1.0) that doesn't have that problem and will look into a solution to this before releasing v3.0.0. As you say - possibly by reducing the force per hit, or I might add a bit of randomness in there.
i was wracking my brain trying to figure out how people were posting these massive scores when the flippers are so anemic they can’t even get the ball to the ramps, much less up them… then i realized that you’ve tied your physics to the frame rate. after adjusting from 100Hz to 60 the game became immensely more playable!
There is an update on the way that will keep the physics consistent for all Hz monitors. I am waiting for the guy who wrote the physics engine to release the code! These problems will be resolved soon.
Thanks for playing. That's impressive you worked out it was down to the Hz!
There seems to be some sort of bug, at least on chrome, where the gravity on the ball is way, way too high and the flippers can barely move it up. I'd love to try this again when the game is once more in a playable state.

IT'S STILL DOING DA THING
The power randomness of the triangle bumpers (slingshots) has been adjusted. Da thing has been reduced!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Nice style but the paddles aren't strong enough to shoot up? What am I missing?
I suspect your monitor is running on a high hz? The game does not currently run on certain monitors. There is a fix on the way for this problem.
ah ok! normal macbook pro m2.
So cute!
Thanks!

it’s a common enough issue, lots of aaa games do this too :) it did however make me wonder how unplayable this game would be at 240Hz…
I implemented a fix which I am hoping solves this problem. Can't tell if it actually works though.
Hey, I would love to hire you for a project I am working on. Would you be interested in freelance work?
Hey. I work as a freelance developer. Please DM me on Twitter about work enquiries. Thanks.
I would but, your DMs are not on! Haha. DM me if you can @berrytheartist
Very nice retro pinball. I like it!
Thanks!
104,000
I play a lot of pinball
Very nice score! You must have hit some multipliers!
my high score is 32,600
It is a very good game but sometimes it doesn't start.
Thanks for reporting. I'll investigate that.
need on playdate!
That's a nice idea.
please 🫶
very nice and calming game. For some reason you dont get upset when you lose
Thanks. I am glad you find the difficulty okay.
I managed to put the ball back in the pinball shooter, Idk if that's a bug :/
That's not a bug. You should be able to pull the plunger again to release the ball.

Hmm, thanks for reporting, I'll look into it. Do you have the same problem on Firefox or is this only affecting Chrome?
I have the same problem on opera GX. its such a shame because the art is really nice
I will investigate. Thanks.
I have this problem too. I can't reach the upper area at all
Great game, amazingly minimalistic
Thanks!
328,200 in one game. Got to 6x multiplier. Holy cow that was hard.
Wow that is awesome! I think I have only ever got to 250,000 when testing haha.
I really need to add a leaderboard.
What do the 1234 buttons do? Are they just points?
Yeah they are just points, but you get extra points when you hit all four.
I got
9,80010,500. (score)Not bad at all. Can you get to 50,000?
gettin a white screen. shots look good tho.
