Really diff take on pinball. Couldn't get super far but still really fun.

Geezer QuestThis is a very nice pinball game. I like how the second area has a different control scheme, I've never seen anything like it in a pinball game. Great job!

College Fund from Pirates!This is the third pinball game i've seen. I though it will be the same, but I like how bigger it is, camera movement is smooth. Solid work!

Gold StepsNot usually huge on pinball and was about to give up before I broke through the quantum barrier! It's more like post-pinball at that point, it took me a second to realize the balls propel themselves. Kinda bummed it was so short but that's game jams for you! Nice work.

I had a great time playing it. I really like the second part of the level!

Hocus Pocus - GBJAM14I got the pop up and then didn't actually realize what that meant for awhile so I just kept playing regular pinball. 😂 It was quite fun and I loved the background of the machine and the color when you moved up higher.

For Our Forgotten MemoriesI was genuinely surprised that this is more than a simple pinball game with its solid concept of the ball being a particle that fuses with gold at the top (I wouldn't have thought of that). It's really satisfying to get points and the secondary gameplay style is innovative once you get the hang of its controls. The great Game Boy style visuals are just the cherry on the cake.
It admittedly does have pitfalls that a lot of pinball games have, like sometimes the ball falls into the pit (literally) out of your control, but it's a good thing the game is generous with lives. Plus, it would've benefitted with a soundtrack (though in space there is no sound, so yeah).
Overall, great job on subverting pinball. If you'd like, you could try my game about a goldfish.

Fin and ForgetI enjoyed this a whole whole bunch! Super good game and I liked the shift in mechanics. Good work.

Aged RetailLove the gameplay! Took me a second to figure out the second area controls but it was not too difficult. This is so rad. This would be amazing with a sick soundtrack. I hope you keep working on it!
