Flip-Out! Early Access is now available! Flip-Out! is a challenging new take on Pinball that will require quick reflexes and creative thinking to get the highest scores. We've combined the mechanics of pinball and brick-breakers like Breakout and Arkanoid into a satisfying, engaging new gameplay loop and we're excited for people to try it. The game's mechanics are currently very early in development and are not representative of our final vision of the game. We've decided to release at this time to help make sure we stay ahead of bug reports and get player feedback that we can use to improve the game.

During this early access period, we'll be looking for feedback on physics and mechanisms, as well as bug reports. The pinball state machine will be added in the coming days, which will provide the foundation for the pinball game mechanics and scoring system. We are happy to announce that we are developing new tools that will assist in making the design of the pinball state machine much more streamlined. In turn, those tools will be made available to modders in the modkit, once it's released in the coming months.

There is currently one table available, The Curse of Crab Cay. You assume the role of a crab who's home has been invaded by the ghosts of pirates, doomed to a watery grave from the battles on the surface. Their influence has brought some bad juju upon your home and you must dispel their magic and defend your home against the evil invaders. You'll collect treasure and items from the ship's hold to either aid or hinder your efforts and you must be strategic about draining those items between the paddles to both maximize your score and progress through the table's mechanics.

Once we have the physics, mechanism behaviors, and state machine integrated to a point where we feel the process is streamlined, we'll be making more tables and we'll be publishing a system for players to get creative and make their own tables and share them with the community!

Thank you for your interest in Flip-Out! Expect lots of updates from us and lots more fun to come!
