The Pitch

Pinball meets boss rush.

The player is trapped in a opera house, represented by a pinball table. Defeat the Masked Performers by hitting them with the pinballs and manage your limited balls..

Current Status

🚧 Prototype — Built for Global Game Jam Singapore 2026

My Role

I came up with the basis of the game and worked with the other designers to make it fun. I was also the main Systems Designer and Programmer, implementing base pinball mechanics and obstacle behavior.

Controls

• Left/Right Shift for Left/Right Flippers
• Hold Space to pull back plunger

What’s Working

• Core pinball physics
• Basic boss damage system
• Transition between masks on direct damage combo
• Flipper controls that feel responsive
• Audio and VFX

What’s Next

• Variations in table layouts depending on boss.
• Roguelike upgrade system
• Visual polish and juice

Design Goals

1. Make pinball feel like combat — Each hit should feel impactful
2. Strategic ball management — Limited balls = meaningful decisions
