How does the game fit the theme?
:3iscuit is the name of the cat who you owe weekly rent to. You need to balance between spending to build, or saving to pay him his weekly fee while playing fun pinball!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Steam Release? 👀
This was a really fun mix of strategy and survival! The constant push between saving up enough biscuits and meeting rent really kept me on edge, and I loved the quirky style which gave the whole thing a lot of charm.
One small hiccup I hit was getting stuck in block placement loops. The right-click workaround is helpful, but maybe adding a small “undo” or a limited block-removal tool could make it smoother without losing the tension.
It already plays well, but I think having small random events (like surprise rent changes, or bonus biscuit deliveries) could spice up the replayability even more. Great work for a jam entry - simple, stylish and very addictive!
Good blend of risk taking, careful planning and skill! a bit difficult to grasp, and sometimes the physics hates me. But an interesting concept with good polish for a 7 day jam! Good job
The game is very polished (love the art and the sounds are satisfying) but there are some unintended block placements that result in infinite loops. It's not a deal breaker, but I ended up having to reset a promising run.
Hey if you ever get stuck, you can right click any block to move and/or delete it! We plan on doing a big overhaul to fix this.
Thanks for the clarification!
Really cool idea with a ton of fun of great things to place. However my main points of feedback are that a bit more polish in general could've added a lot I think personally, and there's also a bug where if you buy a second thing before placing the first, you will only be able to place the one you bought last. However other than that the art is cute, SFX fit well and it's a neat idea!
This is a really fun and charming game. The visuals were really cool but I think the bounce mechanics could be tuned a bit better, particularly around the bumpers. Really cool idea though and loads of fun upgrades, well done!
Overall: THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLY FUN! I only wish the physics simulation of the pinball game were in a better position, but the concept, the setting, and the implementation are really strong! Good job on this one!
Hits:
Opportunities:
I struggled a bit to understand how to actually make money, spending all my money on passive buffs at first but on my second run I finally managed to get some cash, still had a hard time getting enough money to pay the first 500$, sometimes the gap between the two bumpers felt a little bit too wide as well, I think with a lowered difficulty the game would be amazing and even worth playing outside the gamejam. Great work!
wow! this was very fun to play. very good sound, music, art choices. looks like actual finished steam game rather than a gamejam game. maybe it needs some polish.
I really wanted to like this but I think I ran into game breaking bugs where the ball would be sucked into the hole even if I hit it correctly. I can see great potential in the game, the art style, the music, the overly aggressive kitty but I couldn't get past the first pay day. Like others have said if the physics is tweaked a bit and maybe the difficulty (at least starting out) is adjusted I think its an awesome game. Though one minor point is regarding the theme where i'm not sure exactly where the risk is (other than just not paying haha) but maybe its because I didn't get too far. But love the art and concept, may need to try again when theres an updated version!
Thanks for playing and for your feedback! We take it very seriously. The ball was definitely a pain point in development and once we got a working (but not perfect) we moved on to try and work on other features. By the time we finished everything else we still couldn’t tweak the ball to be just the way we liked, so rest assured we feel you!
The “Risk” is pretty loose deciding whether to buy stuff or save it for rent lol, and the overall risk/reward of pinball and keeping the ball up.
We hope to work and tweak the game more, and update it so when we do I hope you will enjoy it more. Thanks again for playing!!
This one is something special. From your literally AMAZING art, to the sound and gameplay.
The gameplay loop is so so polished and ngl SO fun to play. I COULDNT STOP PLAYING.
Wonderful work guys, keep it up :)
Thank you so much for playing !
One of the best games I've played, It's really addictive. I enjoyed the concept of building your own pinball machine and the fact that you have to balance what you buy and the money you make. I can see this game turning into a great mobile game, I'd buy it! In terms of suggestions I'd find a more readable font and change the format of some of the descriptions as the text was overlapping and hard to read. Other than that well done!
Very good concept and decent execution. Need some polishing (especially for ball physics) and this will be very good game.
Really had a great time playing this! Here are some bugs I encounter throughout the gameplay:
Overall, its a really fun and addictive game that got me playing like half an hour! Great job!
Thank you so much for playing and enjoying!!
Yeah next day after submission I realized I didnt turn off purchases when inventory is full… After the Jam we hope to make some changes and fix some things that people have pointed out. Once again, thank you so much for playing, we are so glad you enjoyed it!
I hit escape velocity with Sneaky Mouse and it wasn't even worth shooting balls anymore, just click end day and rake it in! Had a lot of fun, thanks for making - art is really cute and music is solid.
Oh my god if it's funny to play
I LOVE the vibe. The art style is great and the overall concept made me do tons of runs. I had a lot of fun even if I think it's a little bit too difficult and couldn't get to win or make successful runs
This was really good!
Love the aesthetics! The corner store cat is adorable.
The "build your own board" concept is genius!
2D Pinball devs rise up!!!
Nice game
