its balatro... but pinball!!!!! i really enjoyed the concept, it makes for a super fun game. the sounds were a bit grating at times though, and the music ended up cutting off after i spent enough time playing, but good job!
Cool idea, would be cool to see it iterated on more.
Very fun, and a great concept! As others here have already said, the randomness can sometimes screw you over, which can feel a bit unfair. Still, I would love to see a more fleshed out version of this!
love a good roguelike - love the sound design and music, love the art, and there seems to be a good range of power-ups. Building up a more lucrative pinball table over time is a really cool concept. One thing that a few other people mentioned is that there should be some constraints on where powerups can be located - my jackpot ended up inside my bumper a couple times.
PinBALA - is that a Balatro reference? 0.0
Very very well done
If anyone wants to beat my score :P
Really fun to play
Really cool concept!
It does need a few things though:
I had fun though and it’s pretty nice and has the potential to be way better actually! You could go full Balatro with it!
Solid idea and once you learn the delay on the paddles (i think it was a web based issue) it was enjoyable. though some warning that you are going to be snapped to the shop would be nice.
Really solid concept and executed nicely! I did find a bug where the ball bounced so violently it disappeared XD
Fantastic jam entry :)
Fun game, smart mix between pinball and roguelike. The aesthetic is neat, and love the eroded sounds that goes with it. Might need a bit more depth but I already add fun with the modifiers already there. Good job !
I love the idea for a game! It's kinda reminds me of balatro, but with pinball mechanics
love the game! just I don't know if it is a bug but when I have 2 balls and one pass through the game will remove me -20 time and add a new ball even though I still have one left. But really cool idea to add more and more bumpers!
The art and audio are clean, the game is easy to understand and fun, I wonder what the optimal strategy is 🤔
Love the game. very relaxing.it feels kind of luck based to hope for the bumpers to spawn in the correct positions. to counteract this you just have to buy 1 multiplier bumper and then just keep hitting that one bumper to get crazy scores. game could use a bit more variety in the upgrades but Overall a good fun game
Honestly, my favorite thaat I've played in this jam so far. The sound of the bumpers getting higher rom multiple hits is so satifying, and the synergies you can build are very cool to. May become a regular in my list. Perfect level of polish, music choice is great and the pixel art is chefs kiss.
Love the audio and artwork! And love to see another round/shop style game
First of all, the graphics and design are stunning. Genuine props to whoever made them. I love the rogue like element of adding parts to a pinball machine and it feels like a unique take to the genre. The randomized placement of the bumpers is a great gameplay design choice
