Very stylish looking game, I liked it a lot! Played it on a Steam Deck and it worked like a charm.
Which Flippers feel/work better? Top or Bottom?
Not sure, Top seem harder to use which I thought was intentional.
Are there any elements you don't understand?
The point of the cursor - there is I think one ability interacting with it and I haven’t figured out how to use it properly.
Do you want to know more about certain elements?
Yeah, I’d be interested to know how you envision progression, character abilities (?), are there any goals beyond high score - basically I’m curious how the game develops.
What is your opinion on the weapon choice?
I didn’t think very hard about choices, I don’t think I grasped any nuance behind picking one weapon over the other. I sort of prioritized ‘ranged’ weapons, they felt a bit more effective from the start. I tried to pick a couple of different weapons, only then start upgrading - felt more powerful, the more stuff I had.
I liked the little monster who caught your balls - very cute and thematic.
What is the thing/aspect you like most?
As a 35 yo dude I found the ‘magical girl’ theme very appealing - I suppose I was brainwashed by Sailor Moon as a kid, lol.
Also as I said, I think you nailed the visual style.
Finding a ‘secret level’ was pretty cool - not sure what triggered it though.
What don't you like?
Controller bindings were hard to get into and annoyed me until the end. I think that left/right flipper should be bound to left/right trigger. With current bindings you cannot really use both flippers at the same time. Tilt would fit under left/right bumper IMO. Never really played a pinball game on a controller though, so perhaps it’s more reasonable to look how they do it than to listen to me ;)
How do you perceive the difficulty?
It was alright, I got into beating my previous high score and felt that I can improve a bit each game.
Is the game fair?
As much as pinball can be fair ;)
Do you normally enjoy other Pinball or Survivorlike Games?
I don’t really play them. One survivorlike I recently got into was Monsters are Coming - it’s a very different game though, a sort of tower defense hybrid.
