FOXHOLE FORTRESS - Mini Jam 176

Welcome to FOXHOLE FORTRESS!!!  Available in browser and on Steam Deck!

A pinball game by Clay Maksymiuk and Josh Schember

Notes from the developer:

• Unfortunately, only Fortress 2 is implemented, but instead of a multi-ball bonus, you either double or half the score, awarded after flipping a coin
• Fortresses can be a bit finicky to hit
• The ball counter is awkward; you get three total, and no game over screen
• If the ball gets stuck, you'll have to back out to main menu and restart

INTRO: The Confederacy of Independent Rabbits has declared war on the Fox Federation! Power up the cannon to shoot your pinball into enemy territory! Use your leaf flippers to keep the ball in play and rack up points without falling into the rabbits' hole! Retreat to your foxhole to rest and recuperate, but be warned, war is fickle and the consequences are as uncertain as the flip of a coin!

CONTROLS:

• 'A' = Left Flippers (Controller: left bumper)
• 'D' = Right Flipper (Controller: right bumper)
• 'Spacebar' = Charge and Fire Cannon (Controller: right trigger, but finicky)
• // 'S' = Activate Blockers (not implemented)
