Coffin Drop by upcharlie

[raw]
made by upcharlie for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

Strap into to your coffin as you explore this vertical scrolling pinball game, sink deeper and deeper into the 9 layers of hell. Fight Bosses, do somersaults and generally throw yourself around as you carefully avoid the middle hole.

PS. The whole experience is kinda janky, but we had a lot of fun making it!

i had a good laugh playing this game, the controls are simple and easy to understand and the gameplay is simple and fun. the change between the game boy style intro to 3d was wierd, i found a lot of bugs such as, the coffin fazing trough the paddles, the background stops in place, and the boss is on the coffin spawn so it kills its self, overall, hilarious and fun, it just needs a few more bug fixes

I really like that you did a combination of flippers and scrolling, but the speed of scrolling eventually became far too fast for it to matter. If you can't see the green orbs anymore, you can't aim for them either. But the general concept is definitely worth exploring more.
The intro was nice as well, although tonally very different from the game itself.
Good job!

not a bad game but the I would prefer pixel art. The background really hurt my eyes

Cool game, I like where you are going with it! Can you add smoother tranisitions? I think that would be great.

Pretty cool game! I really like the idea and i think that music was awesome! Sadly collision was a bit of and i was stuck a few times or lost cofffin cuz it went through the stick thingy. Good job nonetheless!

I looks really great, the cutscene at the start is also very nice and over the top, i laughed a lot playing this, it does feel very barebones, it's kinda like a pinball without objectives, it has a lot of potential though, if the bosses had some kind of cool mechanic you had to bounce the coffin around would be even better! Still a very fun experience, very well made!

start cutscene was great. the core gameplay loop felt a little lacking though, and at times it felt a bit like my actions were inconsequential enough that i tried just doing nothing and seeing what would happen. definitely some interesting potential with the mechanics though!

Похоже, неисчерпаемы запасы идей разработчиков на LD. Даже падающий гроб есть...
Спасибо за игру ^_^

That’s why I want to get cremated and get an urn - it´s a way better pinball! ;) . Sometimes I couldn’t see the ball due to the shadow on the left. Also, sometimes the coffin got stuck on the boss, but since you made these bumpers in the background, you just had to wait. Nice Game!

Can't stop laughing! I can imagine how fun the corpse is inside the coffin. Class! The transitions between levels are of course too sharp, but the game is fun =)

A really cool concept, but sometimes it can be quite frustrating, 'cause the ball just fell through the flipper. The music is catchy. :)

Cool game. You should have made the coffin a bit more visable, either by changing the background or by making the coffin bigger.

Great work, keep it up!

Very buggy. Many of my coffins goes through the walls. And the game stuck at this moment :(
But I have passed several levels.
