Pinbuilder
A pinball game where you start with nothing. Slowly build up the pinball table and the higher the ball goes, the more you can build.
I didn't have a lot of time time this jam (~8hrs), so this is more of a POC. I think with some tuning and more pieces it could be a lot of fun (right now it is on the hard side).

Is there a way to re-position the part without restarting? Interesting idea!

I really like the idea. I guess you could mention somewhere that space triggers the paddles.

This is super neat, a little more control explanation would be nice, but other than that great game. I couldn't get any further than 1407 lol

really great concept for the theme; this is coming from a pinball enthusiast, but I would play a full commercial version of this game.

I liked what you were going for! Definitely follows the theme strongly. I think with more time, a polished version of this concept would be neat.

Very cool, and especially impressive for eight hours! Add a background (to provide a frame of reference), and let me pick up these pieces, and I think you've got a really compelling game.

Good concept, was hard to get past 1000. If the items you get wouldn't be random it would be easier to progress because you'd be able to plan ahead. It would also allow you to prevent unfortunate items given, for example it's hard to progress with 1 left paddle and 3 bumpers :smile: Either way, it's not missing a lot to be a full game. Some non-random progression, previewing where the items will go and moving items around and this would be a really fun game I think :) Very well done for an 8 hour game for sure!

Very original idea ! As you said it's a bit difficult in its current state but it has potential ! Everything I wanted to mention has probably been said already (placement preview, music, background image and mainly a way to either clean the board or take back items). Anyway, great job for 8 hours !

Realy neat idea. Very unique and addicting as well. Could definitely see this as an hyper casual game on mobile. Or with some levels and goals might work as a kind of puzzle game as well.

It's a good concept but it require a little more polishing, but for an 8 h game is good
