We need more pinball games, or at least *I* need more pinball games.

This looks rather neat. Pinball genre mashups don’t happen anywhere near as much as they ought to.
NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT 😍
PinKeep is a pinball deckbuilding roguelite – Master the ball and flippers to collect resources and defeat your enemies!

Demo coming in January, wishlist now! 👇
