I love the restriction of 64x64! It was a really interesting design constraint to work with.

I would not have believed a pinball game could work in such a low resolution, congrats ! It feels really smooth and tight despite the constraint
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely love pinball. This was great! That right tube got me every time :'(
I will come back and beat your high score!
I am a pinballer! I don't know if I can get 1 million points, but if I do, I will post an update. (～￣▽￣)～
The sounds all the flippers and pushers make made me try to play a tune with specific sequences of inputs. I loved it!
That’s great, thank you! Upgrade those bumpers and you’ll get to 1 million in no time, I believe in you!
Also glad that you liked the sound effects
Also, for really high scores, warping is key. Your current ball’s score is doubled (roughly) every time you warp, so it’s exponential if you can warp multiple times in one life.
The old and reliable pinball machine—nothing beats it. Good job. I like the predominance of light colors.
You've adapted the pinball gameplay very well! Graphics are simple but definitely recognizable. I would've liked to have music in the background, especially in times the ball won't come down for a while, but maybe that's just me. Didn't play for too long, so my highscore is only 229846.
Love this pinball idea! It would be cool to go even further and add more flippers!
Interesting twist on a pinball. It is challenging to manage all the flippers, but it is a fun and unique kind of a challenge. :)
You crammed a lot of pinball into a tiny screen! I like the little touches like the drop shadow behind the text, and the way the "Play" button has an animated fill when you hover with the mouse. And it seems like there is a lot of nuance to the scoring system!
I did find it a little odd that the game sort of played itself - but I'm not sure if that is standard in a lot of pinball games! After I hit the ball, it bounced around on the left side for a few minutes, racking up 42k points and upgrading twice without any input from me.
Thanks for playing! The scoring system does indeed have some complexity to it. As for the game playing itself, that’s certainly a feature of pinball, but I think it tends to happen a lot more in my version because of the cramped position of everything. If there was more room for the ball to bounce around, it would make its way to the bottom of the screen more often. Thanks again!
