I think this game is the closest thing a 2D platform game can get of a open world map.

Wonderful and cute platformer

Bite sized metroidvania with cute little bug, the idea for the gameplay to include pinball mechanics was definitelly a great surprise and the execution of it was brilliant! At times, the writing leaves a lot to be desired and some character designs are off putting in my opinion but let that not discourage anyone, the artstyle is beatiful, music give me an earworm and keep me going through the harder parts of the game. If anyone has a free weekend, give this game a shot because it is worth your time

This game put me in a great mood. I don't even like pinball.

A fun exploration game

This is a fun little metroidvania-pinball exploration game that combines the mechanics of both in a way I haven't seen before. I enjoyed exploring the island and discovering its secrets, but there were also a few parts that annoyed me. Like, the very first boss I ran into was so frustrating that I almost stopped playing altogether. The other three bosses were kinda cool, super easy, and anticlimactic in that order. Overall, I would rate the boss fights the most improvable aspect of the game, and think the game would have been better without them. The rest of the game is really nice though, and I enjoyed playing it.

Good idea, uneven implementation

When this game is at its best, the pinball mechanic is a lot of fun. however several areas require very precise hits (something pinball isn't very good at), or even sequences of precise hits. It ends up being busy work when you've already beaten an area multiple times but still need to try repetitively until you hit your ball precisely enough to progress. There are also bugs and design issues with some of the abilities you unlock later (perhaps there wasn't time to test them?). Worth a buy if you like pinball games and can get it for a few bucks.
