- LEFT / RIGHT mouse buttons
- or Q / E

ESC should quit, or ALT-F4.

ALT-ENTER should go full screen 1080p.

Extraball at 1,000,000 and every 2.5x after that.

Requirements:

- Direct X

- Microsoft C++ runtime (32bits) (you might already have it from steam games):

(Sorry about that but that's for any Unreal Engine game)

Enjoy! And send me your best scores!

Nice little mini pinball game. A few things I'd suggest though
>add A/D and arrow keys support. Maybe make S or down or the middle mouse button or w or spacebar make both flippers move.
>the bumper physics feels a bit weird, but maybe it's just me.
>maybe add some ambience in the background.

Other than that, really great. 4.5 stars.

Looks really nice, but I'd've liked to see something in the gameplay that differed from regular pinball.

@mahalis I know what you mean, and time permitted, I would have made some crazy additions...

great pinball physics. But it needs more dynamics, feature, environment design. Really good for this theme. Well done

Nice pinball game! I felt the physics was just right- Good job on that! - If you plan on continuing with this game, some visuals when you hit the various stuff would be nice, it kinda felt wrong that there weren't any. Nice job!

Thanks @eusekerci @Mekuri Yes I plan on adding level modifiers and some screen shakes and particles! I will stay true to the theme. That's all I had time for in the compo...

Neat game! The ball definitely fell through the paddle a few times, so there are a few physics bugs it seems.

Pretty neat! Seemed to be a little bit of a delay when telling the paddles to move and the paddles actually moving.

Thanks guys. The physics are using the cpu in another thread, and I'm guessing some people are having some various results with that :)
