That was a very nice pixel art style there, I really liked that. The gameplay was amazing and unique and I loved the pinball-esque gameplay. The animations were hilarious as were the cutscenes.\n\n### To Improve:\n\nI don't have much to say for this except that it would be nice if there were a bit more \"juiciness\" to it. I would've liked the ball to look more pixelated and for a few more sound effects when bouncing off of walls and such\n\nBut overall, a really neat game and one you should be proud of :).\n","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"WilloXs","author_uid":"1039235","time":"2017-12-05T19:44:53Z","epoch":1512503093,"modified":1512503093,"text":"Great","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"tulipekoni","author_uid":"1058702","time":"2017-12-05T19:47:51Z","epoch":1512503271,"modified":1512503271,"text":"Wow, no words...

Your sprite animations are simple but clean, your concept is clear, I love the trickiness of trying to bank shots and keep your paths to loot open. You even had that extra prison break sequence, which keeps this from being just another score grabber. The music seemed a bit out of place, but I enjoyed it anyway.

Thanks for comment!\nMaybe we can help you to see the theme. Our idea was to work the theme from the mechanic and the concept.\n\nMechanic: To pick the money you have to shoot balls. More balls means more money from the machines, but at the same time, more balls means more chances to be stunned, lost time and the multiplier so... The more you have, more difficult it is. But it totally depends on you :)\n\nConcept: The second way we try to touch the theme was with the plot hehehe. More loot you have, worse is the jail they send you, so it's harder to score.
