itch.io

been a hot minute, but I finally had a chance to test v0.10.0. lots of polish work happening everywhere, it’s nice to see. I encountered a couple of “fun” bugs as well:

• when getting the tutorial message during the first time in the shop, controller inputs were buying things in the shop, not moving through the tutorial messages
• i got a crazy multiball right as my ball was heading into the bonus/side table, and the multiball balls kept doing things in the background while i was playing the side table, got to the boss while doing it 😹

looking forward to more updates!

just tried out the latest patch, controls are feeling even a little bit better it seems. definitely had an easier time playing tonight than previously, anyway. and did you add some more mechanics and table design stuff? there was definitely fun things in there that I didn’t remember seeing before (like the upper area bumper that got up and started crawling around, loved it! 😹

alright, just played the latest update. feels like there was some balancing that happened, and also maybe some physics tweaks? had a somewhat easier time making shots after the update, don’t know if that’s coincidental or not. in any case, looking forward to future updates!

honestly fantastic response, and I love both those games so much, so you’re definitely aiming for the right targets!

I’ll definitely give you feedback after the next release, for sure, and let you know how it feels compared to right now, since I feel like nailing the game feel is really the key to making this game a bit of a breakaway hit.

I love everything else you’re doing here, so I’ll definitely wishlist it on steam, now that I know how passionate you are about getting the feel right. keep it up! 😁

Kenny, this game is almost amazing. but the physics system feels so busted compared to something like Demon’s Tilt. it’s nearly impossible to consistently make shots in this, even before all the modifiers.

I really love the concept, I just hope you can fix the physics so it feels like pinball, and not just completely out of control at all times.

(I’ve got a 240hz monitor, so maybe there’s something with the timings that’s busted at higher frame rates? I dunno, it just feels completely impossible to make shots as things are)

agreed, I never start itch at login, and often forget I even have it, because it won’t stop popping up the login window no matter what I do. it’s highly annoying, and definitely stops me from using itch regularly.
