Update v0.8.109 is now live, with a whole bunch of balance changes thanks to all the incredible feedback that has been given here, on Itch and via the in-game options - literally everything in this patch is in response to one or more comments so a huge thanks to everyone who has been in touch, it's really helping me shape the game into something that can be hopefully be enjoyed by anyone, pinball enthusiast or not. These changes are primarily focused on being more beginner friendly while keeping it challenging for those playing on higher difficulties. As always, please let me know what you think!
