Hi there!

First entry here!

This is a Windows build so far.

Keys are as follow:

For the pinballs:
- LEFT / RIGHT SHIFT
- LEFT / RIGHT CTRL
- 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):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 (you want the X86 as it's a 32bit game)

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

Any other issues, hit me on twitter (@keyle)

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.

Love the look! So much polish and not bad on the gameplay!

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...

looks good. I was expecting someone to make a pinball game :D

Yup ... I was just saying to myself ... a pinball game would be perfect for this jam ...

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...
