Hey everyone! I’ve been reworking the level design for Pinball Realm.
Originally, my idea was to give each type of enemy a different threat level, then let players decide which one they should take out first.
But after inviting some friends to playtest, I noticed something interesting: Whenever the ball started hitting several enemies in a row, they would almost always start smiling or laughing. I’m not even sure they noticed themselves doing it.
That gave me a new idea. In the new update, I’ve started increasing the number of enemies in each wave and adding more interactions between different equipment(or "Bumpers"), so players can trigger larger chain reactions and hit multiple enemies at once.
What do you think of this version so far?
You can play the latest Pinball Realm demo from my itch page. I’ve also updated the browser version, so you can try it much more easily.
If you run into any bugs or have any feedback, feel free to leave a comment!
