i can finally live my pinball dreams, thank you

Submitted

Very serious opening cutscene! I enjoyed the game, first person pinball is very unique idea. The game did make me a little dizzy even though I normally don't suffer from motion sickness.  Maybe a slider would help to tone it down? Either way, good work!

Submitted

Loved the mechanics and overrall aesthetic, dying with the opening lol

I didn't make a game, so unfortunately I can't rate it, but as a pinball lover, this is one of the best and most creative games. Great job.

Submitted

Really nice concept! I enjoyed the gameplay and the opening scene was funny and well made.

Submitted

Very trippy, I'm still feeling the motion sickness :O

A cool idea and a great execution; I love the sound effects and the little intro. Very fun!

Submitted

I very unique idea, although I still have no idea how the game is supposed to work. I just got stuck in a wall won 42,000 points and flew into heaven. I can't say I didn't enjoy it however, it was very bizarre but equally as entertaining. However why did you have to use bergentrückung manslaughter version? That song has been stuck in my head since chapter 5 came out. 

Submitted

Its a weird but also cool game idea. I like it.

This was such a trippy but pretty fun experience hahaha, having the wobbliness was a fitting touch for a game like this, but it was great that you included an anti wobble as well! The sound effects that I assume were voice recorded were really funny too, and definitely fit the feverish vibe really well (and they made me wonder whether the other parts of the pinball machine are reincarnated humans too, stuck in purgatory hahahah)

Wow, Thank you for the anti wobble in the pause menu. This is a really fun and creative game! And I love the jab at the isekai anime naming conventions nowadays. 

Submitted

Very fun concept, I think I would have preferred it in third person though. 

Developer

like…an out of body experience? Quite poetic!

Best game in the jam hands down. WILL name my future kids after it. The slide thingy was really fun to try and climb up, and the visuals were great.

Submitted

wtf did I just play lmao 

you went a bit too hard on the wobbliness though, it makes it kind of difficult to appreciate the art on the walls

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for spending some time in purgatory!

You can disable the wobble in the pause menu, but then of course you’ll miss half the fun (based on our absolutely definitely super non-subjective opinion)

i got eaten. 10/10 would die and get reincarnated in a pinball machine again.
 
also deactivating the wobble really was the only way to play this. i really enjoyed all the ads on the walls and i even ascended. tried to get another highscore and got eaten instead

Submitted

Extremely serious premise with equally serious presentation. I feel like there's a lot of potential here, but the wobble is way too much, I couldn't play longer than a few minutes.

Honestly, this was exactly as advertised. peak stuff right there. reminds me of the memes of playing  sonic in first person lol.

Submitted

It's pinball in first-person, very nice! However, i was a bit confused and disoriented at first but thats mostly on me. I dont see how this fits the theme though..

Thanks! Well, you (the pinball) spin :D

I get that’s it’s sometimes disorienting, but that’s part of the fun imo :p

Submitted

yeah, i figured it was part of the experience. Nice job
