A traditional metroidvania, but pinball instead of combat. One of the best ideas, anyone has ever had.

It seems SO HARD to make an action game without combat, but it seems SO IMPORTANT to me to have more video games like this, to expand the appreciation of video games, to way more people. I feel like video games could be so much more than they are, if we find more ways to get away from combat. Overcooked is another example where I play it and think, ughhhh we need 50x more video games like this.

Is the game good? It's pretty good yeah, not the best metroidvania, but good. But the uniqueness is enough to make me worship the game enough to put it on the list.

I always liked Sonic Spinball too, even though, it's way too hard, which makes it way too hard to actually like it. Yoku is nice and easy though, hard to dislike it.

BEST LEVEL: Hmm hard to say...I guess just, the foresty areas in the beginning, have the most pinball feel. Later in the game, they try to get fancy, and sometimes it's not pinball anymore.
