maru
Made for the Pirate Software Game Jam 14.
Theme: It's Spreading
maru is a surreal pachinko-style game. Rack up combos while creating music!
How To Play
How Scoring Works
1) Pegs are counted--how many green pegs and how many pink pegs?
2) If bumpers are active (showing 1 or higher), add green bumpers together, pink bumpers together, or count each bumper separately.
3) Bumper scores are multiplied by peg count for each respective counter.
4) The round total is added to the session total--that's your score!

The colors and music is very relaxing, I managed to get an 8 pink and an 8 green bumper together and that sounded beautiful :)
Among the comments up until this point, you have the highest score--nice job! :D
I haven't been able to get 8 of each color, myself! I'm jealous ;)
Thanks for taking the time to play and comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love the visuals, colours choices are on point. Music is nice calm background for a great vibe. I think I am not very good at Pachinko, but I really enjoying playing this!
Thank you for playing!! And I'm really happy you enjoyed the overall aesthetics--I appreciate the kind words :)
