I 100% the game in about 4 hours or so, and I have to say I had a wonderful time. If you need a game that you can just beat and be done with I cant recommend this enough.

Delightfully clever mechanic, that can get a tad finicky but does have a technique. Some puzzles are get drastically easier with a certain upgrade. Neat story and fantastic art style. Easily worth the price.

I thought the game was ok. Did not feel refined enough for me. The charge mechanic almost feels like it takes away from the game as it allows you to not need to time hitting a moving ball, not using it just makes everything take longer, and it makes the idea of trying to bounce balls off of a wall or another object not as useful. Plot also seemed a bit undeveloped as to the creature, mountain village and the storm.

Alright game. It has a lot of samey rooms but the game is nice and short and fine.

Great soundtrack and art style, some compelling and unique game mechanics, overall a very cool little indie game

Hack & Slash pinball game!? Sick. I did abandon this game after a handful of short sittings, but I do think it's really cool. It didn't have the narrative thrust it needed to keep me playing though.

A fun puzzle game requiring quick reflexes and a minimum of luck.
