A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Created for the GMTK Game Jam 2025!

You have 25 coins in your pocket to keep the pinball from dropping through the gutter. Do this by assaulting it with the force of various drum sound effects playing in a loop, programmable through a drum machine.

Running the game

With LÖVE (any platform)

If you have LÖVE installed already (from https://love2d.org/#download ) you can download the .love file and drag it onto the LÖVE executable. This way avoids any security bypasses. The following standalone executables are also available.

Windows

Download the installer.exe file. In order to run it you'll need to click "More info" and then "Run anyway". You'll then be able to install the game through the wizard and play as usual.

MacOS

Download the app.zip file and unzip it. The game won't immediately run when you double click - you'll have to click 'Close' and then go to System Settings -> Privacy and Security, then scroll down to the Security section and click "Open Anyway" next to the message about Dont-Drop-The-Beat.

Linux

Download the AppImage file, then follow the instructions here to run it https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/.

How to Play

You only need a mouse to play.

Add drum beats to the drum machine at the bottom of the screen by clicking with the mouse. You have a limited number of beats that you can add for each instrument on each level.

Beat the target score in the top right to unlock more drum beats. Use those to beat the next target score and unlock even more!

There are 5 levels to beat, after which you'll go into sudden death mode where you can try and extend your score as far as possible with the full range of beats unlocked.

Here are how the various drum beats activate:

Kick: Punch the ball away from the gutter
Snare: Activate a circular barrier in the gutter
Toms (Left and Right): Punch the ball away from the left and right of the machine respectively.
Hihats (Left and Right): Activate the left and right flippers respectively.
Crash: Only unlocked in sudden death mode. Create a wave of force that sends the ball upwards.
