About the Game

Pincrediball is a fun twist on the pinball game genre. You design the Pinball machine, and the Automata Pinball Wizard follows a "Playbook" to play your design. Achieve High Scores and earn medals to advance levels.

How to play


Think of a "Machine" as a "World" with stages (or "levels"). At each level you unlock new components to add to the Pinball machine. Place these components in the right spots on the machine, and hit "Run Playbook" to see what score it gets you.

With some tiny spoilers, here's one way to handle the Tutorial Machine's final stage:



Every playbook must end by draining the ball (at the bottom of the machine) within the given time limit. If you succeed, your score will count and gets you a bronze, silver, or even gold medal if you cross a certain target. At least bronze is needed to advance a level.

Going for silver and gold after bronze? Or advance to the next level? It's your choice! And you could also go back to go full completionist on a level!!

What is included?


Pincrediball has many features, including (but not limited to):

  • A Tutorial Machine (a "world") with several levels to play.
  • Target scores (bronze, silver, gold) and a progression system, based on high scores.
  • A multi-multi-multi-ball "Stress Test" mode to test your setup, or just for fun!

The trailer showcases all these features as well as many others.
