In Cheer Pinball, you're not just playing for points—you’re playing for the love and cheers of your tiny, overly dramatic fans. !Can you keep your fans hyped, or will you send them into a pint-sized meltdown? Time to find out!

Controls: A (Left Flipper) D (Right Flipper). Space - Spring to launch your ball.

As we can't host this in Ludum Dare due to (SharedArrayBuffer), please head to https://exoddinary.itch.io/cheer-pinball to play or download the file (with shader-enabled).

Extra Dev Story: Thank you to everyone who played our game! We originally planned to feature tiny creatures in a more meaningful way, but with time running short, we ended up using them as the cheering crowd for our pinball game instead. It wasn't exactly what we intended, but it worked in the end! We almost didn’t make it, starting late and facing challenges with 3D in Godot for the first time. Still, with just one day left, we pulled through and built something playable. Thanks for giving it a go!

a good looking, good and simple pinball game. the theme could have been incorporated better. It was fun to give it a spin

Fun - love a pinball game!

I do think the flippers move a little slow, and often just end up catching the ball as they come back down. Also could definitely lean into the theme a little more - maybe some textures on the board to theme it or something similar. A great effort overall though!

Congrats on submitting, clean pinball game. Would've been nice to see it fit the theme more.

nvm figured it out! i got 10000 points, really nice pinball game :) i agree with others, maybe the tiny creatures could have been inside/part of the design of the pinball machine itself rather than just cheering you on outside of it

It's a pinball game and that's clearly what it is! The flippers are a little slow to really slap that ball around, though it could be the web client not reacting as fast as I'd like.

A couple of times the ball sorta got stuck at the end after firing it and it fell back down to the launcher. I feel the machine would've been more interesting with a more asymmetrical design, perhaps.

The art is simple but clear, the soundtrack is good. The theme-inclusion feels a little removed from the game itself.

Nice work overall!

My fans are there for me and happy about how many points I make and that's all that matters. Really nice simple but cool game, congrats!

Cool pinball machine! Had fun playing, was very funny when I got stuck in the launch line, or managed to get the ball back in there. Great work!

Fun idea and concept. But the fans seem meaningless, at least in my playthrough. When I hit the ball and play the game, the fans are always cheering, there is no punishment or the cheering doesn't stop if you just wait and don't do anything. It would be cool if it was tied down to the score or some multiplier based on recent hits.

Also The provided .exe doesn't work for me.

Simple, enjoyable and well done. Maybe could fit the theme a bit more but it was still fun!

Simple classic pinball game. Maybe add a color change or feedback on ball hit the objects . Also change skull color on each hit for higher score.

Nice pinball game !
Maybe you could consider adding camera shake effect and some feedback to make it more juicy ?
The physics work well overall!

Nice job submitting your game! The game works well :) I think a bit more feedback on what gives you points or not could be a nice addition as I was a bit confused sometimes, my points would still go up while the ball was still in the launching area.

Love the graphics and sounds! It would be cool to up the juice as others have mentioned above -- faster flippers and making the fans respond more to events in the game would make the gameplay even more satisfying!
