I really liked this game! I was originally going to do something with pinball but couldn't figure out how to fit the theme in a way I liked. It's cool how you did it! I really like the voice acting too! The only issue I had was that the ball was sometimes a bit hard to see. This was a fun game though! Great job!

With polish and better art this game could easily be more fun... THe ball is barely readable which makes it really hard to predict where it will go and i end up randomly spamming a-d to try and get cvombos.... other than that really fun
I'm a huge pinball head so I got excited when I saw pinball haha. It's a nice concept and twist on the spin theme, and I think the voiceacting adds a lot as well haha. It would be fun if you went like "NICE COMBO" as well! I do think it was a little evil that the ball could just wall behind the flipper if you held it in, but I guess that's just how pinball is sometimes, EVIL haha. Fun concept either way!
I loved the ideia. Its really a good concept. The way the pads AND the level spins at the same time was very creative. A unique aproach to pimbal and right on the theme. The audio was a nice surprise as well. Really great work!
Pretty fun game, especially thanks to the voice acting! I recommend adding a background behind the pinball machine to cover up the Unity 3D void, which you can see when you go fullscreen, and changing the font of all texts (with the exception of the game over text as that already looks nice) if you ever decide to improve the game further, but these aren't very necessary as it's already very enjoyable.
I was today years old when I found out how bad I am at pinball games. Loved the commentator and music! Nice job
I've really enjoyed this game, has a great replayability! Had a little competition with my fiance (he won), would be nice to compete with others as well. The background music was awesome, well done!
hitting the bounce things felt a bit lacking, maybe add a bit of screen shake and hitstop to make the hit feel more impactful? spinning pinball is still a cool concept tho, great job:D
I had a lot of fun with this game! The challenge of catching the ball with the pins before it hit the walls was especially enjoyable. Awesome game :D
One of those concepts that seems crazy nobody has done it before (that I know of). I've tried making a pinball game before and making a good table layout takes so much more thought than I would've expected. Good work!
Nice spin on the usual pinball type of game. It's quite tricky to get a good score on it especially given the gap between the flappers and the edges of the board, but given the amount of control I have over the board it makes for a lot of strategy and it really demands my focus which I really like. I think with more elements like maybe powerups or stuff this could be even more fun but overall I dig this!
Really fun game. My only critique would be having options to change the controls, but other than that cool game, speciacily the voice acting
This is a cool concept. I played a couple of times but hope you can fix the problems you’ve mentioned on the description (like get a new ball if you lose).
Hope to try it again after!
