Fun little game. Enjoyed the shooting. Not sure about the relation to the theme though.

Although quite short, very satisfying gameplay and amusing story. Cool game!

Nice work for getting your first gamejam game in! Physics is always a bit silly an fun, so they are a great match for gamejams. The performance was pretty awful with more than 3 balls on screen, though, and I have a very beefy computer. Still, you got a game done, and it was fun, well done!

Short but interesting game. Expecting to update more destroyable objects.

I found this quite enjoyable, especially with the comedic writing. The physics were a little wacky in just the right way. There were noticeable performance drops with multiple balls on screen, but aside from that the game was good.

A fun little game. If I had one recommendation, it'd be to remove the pieces of projectiles after some time, since they really kill the performance.

Pretty short but fun and everything seems to be working so, you win some you lose some :D

Hey there! The destruction was a lot of fun, and i was impressed by the splintering of the stables. Anne immediately liked the kings facial expression (she watched). The pinball mechanics worked well for me, it was interesting to plan a shot. I think it would be great if you had only a limited number of balls before the level resets, so you have to be strategic about how you place your shots, and there are some stakes. Right now, i felt i could spam the shots. Performance went down a little on impacts, but i didn't mind. The writing was funny to me, especially "i know you tried, probably" bit :D

The king commented on my 2 for 1 hit -- bravo!

Wow this was great, I loved it. It's a great spin on pinball. The destructions were great and I loved the way the trees bounced back! I didn't understand why the ball was speeding up until I realised it was a pinball game. Great dialogue and some nice touches in there. Awesome!

Funny arcade game with punny dialogues. Well done. Unfortunately a bit short. Would be really cool to have more levels or game modes. :slight_smile: I could also imagine a full breakout game in that setting, which would be a welcome change from the default block graphics of this genre.

Thanks for thinking about the trees.
