Wow! What a neat idea to build your own pinball machine. Physics looked and felt solid, and there were a great variety of items for a weekend jam.
I would have loved to see some tracks, rails or loop-the-loops which could have maybe added to the loopy theme, but otherwise a very solid entry. Good job!

Last WritesSuch an interesting idea to let the player build the pin ball level. I think the audio is pretty nice. I wish the levels would have a slower progression adding less different bumpers at once into the shop. Because it's just so much reading tooltips at once while trying to understand them enough to strategize just in the second level. It's a really cool game though, great job!

DIE CANDYVery cool game! Maybe would have liked the ball to go a bit faster, or feel a bit lighter. In any case, cool spin on the Balatro premise. Well done!

ResettlersAhhhh this pinball game takes me back!! I used to love playing pinball on my old button phone. I like the roguelike mechanic and the idea of placing the bumpers yourself - very smart.

THE ONE WITH LÖÖPSwhat a cool idea, I never pictured pinball meets balatro/deckbuilder/roguelike (although I can now think of peglin which may have been part of your inspiration?)
the only nitpick I have is that the flippers are *strong bois* and it's a bit hard to aim, and perhaps the bump limit clashes a bit with what one usually expects from pinball, but that's just a minor complaint and it doesn't detract from the idea
I think you should explore this for sure! good stuff

ResettlersCool game! I like the variety of bumpers and items in the shop. The bumper hits sound and feel really satisfying. I think the flippers give the ball a bit too much power. Great job!

MIDI MayhemReally interesting choices! My only feedback would be that the balls gets launched like a cannon sometimes and everything goes way too fast to appreciate the points and score :( Besides that, the physics work great and i really like the art!
