What to expect
- Objective
- Keep the ball alive, build a multiplier and pursue the rotating scoring goals.
- Ending condition

- Creator-listed input
- Move a mouse cursor character to bump the ball and shoot with two revolvers; firing buttons are unspecified.
Build score by alternating contact and shots
The creator’s twist on pinball is a cursor character that can bump the ball and shoot from range. Bumps build a multiplier, but the description says shooting between bumps is needed to keep increasing it. A lower sun bumper adds multiplier at greater risk of losing the ball off the screen. Joywisp has not measured the scoring formula or confirmed how the two revolvers are controlled.
Notice the rotating board goals
The page describes three board sections with different interactions and a bonus game that rotates every 30 seconds. It also mentions unlockable characters and balls with different strengths, plus an online leaderboard. These are creator statements for a Ludum Dare 60 entry; no leaderboard, unlock or device behavior was tested. Its seven-day ranking appearance follows an earlier itch.io Published field and does not prove a debut.
How to choose
The creator describes moving a mouse cursor character to bump the ball and using two revolvers to shoot it from a distance. Exact firing buttons are not specified in the reviewed description, and touch or controller support is unknown. Carbineball suits a reader seeking a score run built around ball control, timed bonus goals and the bump-then-shoot multiplier rule. Beat the Hue, another reviewed timing guide, instead asks for musical timing and color selection. Neither game has been playtested or ranked by Joywisp.
