ludum-dare-24's Introduction

PINBOLOGY

It is ancient Earth, and in a pond filled with primordial ooze things have just come to life...

PINBOLOGY attempts to faithfully mimic the components, mechanics, and physics of old electro-mechanical pinball machines while incorporating zones, combos, and special actions themed around evolution.

This game was made entirely before a livestream audience of 200-500 people. While I created all the art and program code myself, they provided invaluable moral support and inspiration, and I want to thank everyone who watched. I can't wait for LD #25!!!

INSTRUCTIONS (See in-game help for more information)

Flippers: Left/Right Arrows or CTRL Plunger: Down Arrow or Space Tilt: Up Arrow, Shift, or X (Careful, tilt too much and you'll lose a life!)

SPECIALS/COMBOS

Extinction Event: Turn on the three lights at the top of the table to enable a mega-bonus in the gutter lanes.

Mutagenic Compound: Careful, hitting the purple drop target will activating the spinning disc!

Geographical Isolation: Climb the ramp to enter an area loaded with bonus points!

Breeding Ground: Exiting Geographical Isolation opens the gate to the Breeding Ground ball lock.

Survival of the Fittest: Lock three balls in the Breeding Ground to initiate a MULTI-BALL! (Each ball with have a color that diverges from the parent. The last ball standing locks in its color and becomes your new species!)

DNA: Hit the three DNA drop targets to cause a double-helix to appear on the board. Collect it for a huge bonus!

ludum-dare-24's Issues

Highscore system?

It could be a cool little system that would allow you too set your score and 3 letters to identify you.

Ball went threw Flipper

Ball came back down ramp after an unsuccessful hit and when i clicked to move the lever the ball swept right threw it!

Volume Button

It would be nice to have a volume button or mute button

Suggestion: Debug mode

Have a debug mode where you can control your ball with your mouse, so you can test if certain areas get the ball stuck/test new or changed gameplay mechanics.

Tilt button changes view

Two bugs

  1. When the tilt button is pressed right as the ball goes into the geographic isolation section the view does not zoom in
  2. When the tilt button is pressed when the ball is in the geographic isolation area the view zooms to look at the death zone.

Trying to repeat so I can get pics.

Green walls that protect left suicide lane issue

When the ball hits these walls at a fast enough speed, the bounce that the green walls produce isn't enough to change the balls speed (the red bumpers change the direction even when the ball is going incredibly fast)

reset button please

Quill, in the current state you really SHOULD add the reset button. It's completely essential right now, because there are many bugs/issues that get the ball stuck, and because you can't reset, having to re-load the entire webpage may be a turn-off for a judge that could be very easily avoidable. One of the main stuck issues is when the ball gets stuck under the ball launcher.

Ball stuck under flipper (Edited)

lol another on I found. The ball can get stuck under the left flipper in the top left. Also the right flipper at the top left is in a strange position and it is hard to hit the ball. Edit: No matter what I do I can't get the ball out and the left flipper will not move.

Music track idea

We could have some songs to play when the score reaches certain milestones, and after each milestone is reached the song changes to a slightly more "hard core" song.

Smoother Antilising

Quill in order to make the juges impressed you could try adding antilising or makeing it alot more smoother looking :D

No "Game Over" Screen

When you lose there is no "game over screen", which it should probably have

It could be like:
Option 1: Submit high-score with 3 letter nickname
Option 2: Restart

The mutation color suggestion

The mutation color is tied to the original red ball, not to the current green one. Is there a way this could be changed? Also if a way to mutate based off of the "winner" of "natural selection" (Instead of constantly mutating from the same starter color all the time - which it has in my experience)

GATC and DNA

GATC on the instructions should now read DNA because you swapped DNA for the GATC.

Multi-Ball's new colors are shades of red/yellow, regardless of the parent's color

During multi-ball, new balls are supposed to take the parent's(the previous ball's) color, and have slight changes to it, thus, over time, evolving it's color...
However, during Survival Of The Fittest, the new balls color's are always shades of red or yellow, even when the parent ball is bright green, like the first one...

Bonus area layout is a bit wonky

I think the bumpers in the bonus are aren't placed pretty well or there should be a bouncer on the right + left wall of the bonus area, because I've NEVER seen the ball go in the middle of the area

Tilt

No penalty for tilting repeatedly.

Camera goes to special area incorrectly

When I shoot the ball and it goes up the ramp, but not with enough force to make it all the way, the camera goes to the mini-game area in the top left while the ball goes down the main hole and I lose.

Bouncing suggestion

In pinball games I've played, the ball bounces a tiny bit on surfaces that aren't supposed to be "bouncy" when the ball has picked up enough speed. The ball doesn't immediately drop down and roll from a fast drop

Infinite tilt

I can tilt continualy this is not really a bug but it makes the game far to easy to exploit

Bonus question

I know your bonus is "cashed out" when you lose a ball, but is your multiplier supposed to revert to 1 too?

Multiplayer Highscore + Website Idea

are you planning on adding a server to host highscores of many people in the future(after ludum dare)? You could put this game on the same site as fish-tank commander as a mini-game or something, and create a website of many games created by you for ludum dare!

Bonus removed on ball death

so if you got a ton of bonus with 1 ball its removed with when it dies... I haven't tested if you lose bonus earned from your last ball or if it is applied

for clarification, this isn't the bonus multiplier, but the bonus # which is being multiplied to get your total bonus
