Literal Pinball - Devlog 4-18-2021


What's up, folks! So like I said in the last devlog, I've got something unique for you here - Pinball!


I wanted to add something unique to the city level I'm creating, and keeping with the night-life theme I added pinball as a kind of family-friendly casino allusion. It took me a while to create since it's practically like creating another game, but I've got the rough version to show you all today.

We've got all the classics: Flippers, bumpers, a score board. The objective is to get 10,000 points and then you are rewarded with a collectable. Here's the entrance to the building:

And here's the plunger:

It's not much of a challenge, but I think it's a fun little diversion that adds some diversity to the level.


I've mostly been working on pinball, but I still do have some more traditional gameplay to show you all. Here's the path that leads to pinball:

A bit basic, but keeps with the original spirit of rolling fast. And here we have a separate platforming challenge which leads to a collectable:

The new level is coming along nicely, and should be finished soon. Then I'll just have the tutorial, hub, menus, and sounds. Looks like a lot, but they should only take a fraction of the time these levels have. Thanks for reading!

Won't be able to work on this for a few days due to vacation - Here's a sneak peak of the new level to tide you over

New Devlog Coming Tuesday

Thanks for Marble Mania's success. I'm working on a new long-term project now - a Grand Strategy RTS. I'm really just prototyping game mechanics right now, here's what I've done with the overworld so far.

MARBLE MANIA IS OUT! I've worked on this game for so long, it's nice to finally have a finished product. Marble Mania is a 2D Physics Platformer, with open levels and collectables.

Beach Elements - Devlog 3-1-2021

Release Date - Devlog 5-24-2021

Here's the beach level from my #IndieGame #Platformer Marble Mania. It's boardwalk themed, so has lots of water and Ferris wheels. Probably the hardest of the 3 levels.

Thanks for 50+ downloads! I'm very happy with how Marble Mania has performed and I hope you've all been enjoying it.

Been working on a Tetris clone recently, mostly for my own learning. I hope to make it very customizable - custom block skins/rotation modes/drop speed/etc.
