Good luck !
2 Buttons : LEFT / RIGHT (mouse buttons, or keyboard arrows, or gamepad triggers) to control left and right flipper !
but you can still map your own keys !
----MENUS---- / ! \ this is important because this needs an update to make things clearer :
*LEFT* (arrow, or mouse button) : allow you to navigate menus
*RIGHT* (keyboard arrow, or mouse button) : let you go!
Also,you can press M to mute Music, or turn it down (such as sfx) into the option menu !

Thank you for playing it !
/!\ Please report if you encouter a bug :) First level's skeletons have a weird issue with HTML5 version; i'll try to fix it ASAP
The HTML version is still experimental and suffers slowing down and has no filter effect ; downloadable version is recommended for a better experience.
I'm trying to make it as much accessible as possible, I'm opened to every idea !
Keep in touch, enjoy !

Fun! A bit more screen-shake than I'm personally comfortable with, but other than that I think you have a good thing going here. I look forward to seeing this develop. Do you plan to release on Steam when it's complete? Also, how do you exit the menu once you're in there? The only instruction is for the paddles and neither exit the menu.
Hi @Blah !
Thanks a lot for your feedback, that's lovely and motivating ! Sorry for screenshake abuse, good idea to let the player parametrize it.
If I had to push dev one game and release it on steam that might indeed be the first one I'd like to release. I can't talk about a plan but the idea is there for a long time... But yeh, this needs work and more content, and maybe someday something will happen :)
It's almost been here and played for 10 years, maybe time has come for me to throw it an eye again.
I tried to make it crossplatform at some point and option menu was + or - experimental, I mean you can crash the game and nothing more will happen if you exit on html version for exemple, also changing control might bring a mess with HTML version so maybe that's what happened to you ? otherwise it was suppose to have some "back" option when scrolling... I'm sorry , i'm aware a lot of issues i'm just a bit lazy/overwhelmed by life somethimes :')...
If you're curious about it, I tried to experiment these vibes a little further with another unfinished jam game more lately, but it's really raw & very unfinished, you've been warned aha:

Thanks again! <3
Need this game on Playdate ! love it
Super cool game! I love the combination of breakout and pinball. Petty difficult though... wish the gate wouldn't lock when you fall down to the first floor
Hi RegsaGC ! glad you enjoyed, thank you for feedback ! I agree some checkpoints should be added to make life easier when falling to the bottom... I swear I'll make this door less frustrating if an update is ever pushed XD
Cheers !
J'adore! vous devriez le porter sur PLaydate. J'achète dayOne
<3 Merci pour le message ça fait chaud au cœur !
L'idée d'un port Playdate est en effet plutôt séduisante, je prends note ;)
Merci !
Very fun! Always looking for a fun pinball game.
Mind if I ask what engine this was made in?
Hello there ! Thanks for your kind words <3 I'm quite a pinball junky too.
It was built with Game Maker Studio (1.4), that comes with a neat dedicated physics library; I've reiterated releasing some kind of (unfinished, of course) sequel to it for the Lowrezjam 23, sticking with GMS 7 years later so I guess this still feels good for me. Here it is if you're curious about it:

Cheers!
wow i loved this! so cool how you could even go higher, really enjoyed this pinball game
Thank you @microwee for your kind words :) This gives me some motivation to update it someday :)
Cheers!
Pretty fun little game!
Hi there!
Well thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Cheers!
A lot of fun. If playing on mobile click the flipper you want to use using two fingers for right click doesn't work really enjoyed this
The game works on my iPad in html. On my Chromebook it is very glitchy and the start menu scrolls too fast to click start. the flippers always point up and when you press left or right they both go down. Its not fun to play like this.
Hello, thank you for reporting this. I was kinda aware as this issue appeared for a while now and is somehow related to itch.io iterface or browsers (it seems to be working fine outside of itch.io). I'll try to throw an eye on this ASAP and I'll keep you in touch. Cheers !
