Pinball Spire

Such a good game. Pinball spire is quite short, took me around 3 hours to beat the game while trying to 100% it, at the same time. Definitely a game worth checking out when it's on sale.

A pinball game with some skills you unlock as you go. It is linear so it's *NOT* a metroidvania like Yoku's Island Express (which is an amazing game, get the bundle with this game!). However, it's still a very enjoyable pinball game. You move from table to table, each with a different goal and move up the spire. It took about 2.5 hours to defeat the final boss with most things unlocked. + Adorable cosmestics that you unlock as you explore. + Fun side paths to find. + Simple pixel graphics with great vibes. + Good music and sound effects. + Solid accessability options. - One of the achievements is to play the whole game without the time-slow feature. - Final boss has a LOT of health and took to long in my opinion. All in all a cute and nice little game!

great game 💯💯

[b][h1] 6/10 - Pinballvania [/h1][/b] [b] Fun short pinball metroidvania [/b] [hr][/hr][h2][u] Gameplay [/u][/h2] A pinball "metroidvania" of sorts where you unlock some extra abilities and have to use them to beat the current room's obstacle! Pretty fun once you unlock all the abilities and get the hang of using them together to more precisely control where you want to go to unlock the current room's exit! Think of it as a continuous game of pinball with levels that are interwined with checkpoints inbetween! [hr][/hr][h2][u] Visuals [/u][/h2] Some lovely pixel art all around, with your goals being vibrant and clear to work out quickly what you must do! [hr][/hr][h2][u] Sounds [/u][/h2] Satisfying impact noises from pinball hitting enemies or bouncing off walls! [hr][/hr][h2][u] UI & UX [/u][/h2] Clear UI with your available mana and the skills you have access to. Originally was bit confused by the controls but quickly got the hang of it and thought it worked well.

Pinball Spire is an amazing little game! It's short, sweet, and hits the right notes for a pinball style adventure game! There is so much to love about this game. The level design, art style, music, puzzles, and aesthetic of the game were perfect! The way in which you save your game is very unique and fits the vibe of the game perfectly. I think in many pinball games, the player just mashes the buttons, but in Pinball Spire, you actually have to think about where you're going to hit the ball. The powers you unlock are unique and add a lot of flavor to the game. The scouting tool is useful for certain levels where the objective is unclear upon entering. I found the game easy, but quite enjoyable. It is on the shorter side, perhaps even beatable in one long play session, but I think for the price point that is okay. Overall, it's a fun little game that is definitely worth playing!

Controls take me a bit to get used to with the great myriad of ingeniously useful abilities such as slow time for one. Once you get used to it the however, the game becomes really fun to play, both in victory and defeat, a real achivement for a solo developer. Congratulations to Aparition, and many thanks be provided unto him for providing steam with a long pinball game, one that feels much like a superbly vibrant pinball arcade machine in which you have unlimited credits, tokens or coins! <3
