Chapter 23: Goblin Pinball

New games coming in so soon? The carved designer is really talented, there is no bottleneck!

This was Gou Chehua's first reaction.

But on second thought.

For an independent game maker, it takes three and a half years to polish a game, and it is even more difficult to come up with results.

Even if the engraver is talented, it takes time.

"Perhaps, this is the inventory that the engraver has made a long time ago, just to test my ability?"

This one is the most likely!

Okay, then I'll have to show my 12-point skills and give this game a good boost!

Before he even had time to finish the instant noodles in his hand, Gou Chehua hurriedly rushed to his computer desk, put on headphones, and opened his mailbox to download the installation package sent by Kejinxin.

While waiting to decompress, Gou Chehua pondered the name of the game.

Goblin Pinball

"Goblins? Isn't this selling point a little ...... Too outdated? Gou Chehua muttered.

Even though the game market is now seriously homogeneous, there are still many games that start with weak characters such as goblins or slimes, allowing players to accumulate an initial boost pleasure.

This has led to the already homogeneous market becoming more volatile.

Today's players, when they download the game, they see that the beginning is a goblin, and there are many people who are directly persuaded to quit.

Many of the top manufacturers have realized this problem and are gradually avoiding creatures like goblins.

And the element of pinball, Gou Chehua didn't figure out how to unfold.

When I was a child, I played marbles, and everyone played them.

But when designed into the game, I always feel that it is not interesting.

Based on his understanding of the game industry in the past three years, it is not without game companies that have tried to integrate marble elements into it.

Trying to make a match-3 game, it's just changed from a match to a play.

Through its elasticity, it collides with three identical objects to achieve match-3.

But in the end, it all ended in failure.

Without it, players don't like this kind of game with too much uncertainty.

If you lose, you have to start all over again.

Even if the resurrection mechanic is added, it is uncertain whether it will succeed next time.

If players don't always get positive feedback, the probability of abandoning the pit goes without saying.

"Uh......" Gou Chehua was directly silent.

Whether it's a goblin or a pinball, neither of these elements is very pleasing.

The engraver has combined these two elements......

No matter how you look at it, it's super doubly unpleasant......

"Is the beginning hell difficult......" At this time, even Gou Chehua has no bottom in his heart.

In my thoughts, the game has been decompressed.

As soon as it was opened, a thick pixel wind swept into the face.

This is again a minus......

Although the graphics of iwanna and goose and duck killing were not exquisite before, their focus is on gameplay, so players will subconsciously ignore the picture quality.

And now that the goblins and pinballs have been confirmed to have no superfluous possibilities, whether the picture is exquisite or not has become the key.

"Ugh." Gou Chehua sighed helplessly.

This game, visible to the naked eye, will not be popular.

However, life is like this, there are highs and lows.

You can't force a game designer who has just debuted to make a name for himself all the time.

It's not easy for people to make two hot games.

"Let's play it first and see if we can pick up some suitable selling points from the game to promote it."

While speaking, Gou Chehua clicked [Start Game]

What surprised him a little was.

Different from the image of being hammered in other games.

This time, the goblin is actually the protagonist.

In the game, it carries a small brown backpack full of marbles made of various stones, and it is also short, looking stupid and cute, but it is not offensive.

When you select it to enter the game, a map that looks like a schoolboy drawing it spreads out in front of you.

The starting point is a small goblin chosen by Gou Chehua, and in front of it there are two dotted lines.

One leads to an icon to a skull and the other to a chest.

In addition to this, below these icons, there are more dotted lines that act as extension lines.

"Is this what it means to choose your own level?" Gou Chehua muttered to himself, then manipulated the mouse and clicked on the skull on the left.

He needed to see how the game was played first.

After clicking, the words "Enter Battle" will pop up on the screen.

The screen turns, and in front of the little goblin, two treants with 200/200 health bars appear.

Obviously, defeat the tree man in front of you, and this level will be passed.

It's just that the game's unique attack method made Gou Chehua's eyelids widen slightly.

It's not turn-based, and it's not real-time combat.

Rather, it's a pinball panel at the bottom of the screen.

Just like playing billiards, the marbles that the player is going to throw are fixed at the top point.

Then, there are small dots evenly distributed around it, which are called "nails" in the game

These nails are so elastic that they bounce off when they are thrown and collide with them.

Of course, each time the refraction bounces, the strength of the marble decreases, and it is affected by gravity, constantly falling, and finally falling into the pit below, even if it has completed an attack.

Gou Chehua casually aimed at a position, and after pressing the launch button, a mediocre stone began to eject in the direction pointed by the mouse.

"Smack!"

After hitting the nail, a prompt of [Damage +1] appears on the interface.

It then refracted in other directions, and immediately hit another nail head-on.

[Damage +1]

In this way, the continuous refraction jumps all the way, and the elasticity of the marble becomes weaker and weaker, and the position is lower and lower.

Until the time it was about to fall into the pit, the damage at this time only increased by 13 points.

This means that you can deal 13 damage.

But the Treants have 200 blood, and there are two more.

"I feel a little struggling...... Gou Chehua's voice has not yet fallen.

Suddenly, I saw the marbles hit a special nail at the bottom, and an exclamation mark was drawn on it.

"Bang!"

As if injected with new vitality, the marbles have changed their declining trend and soared into the sky!

Crashed all the way down from the beginning.

This time, every time you touch a nail, the text displayed will become [Damage +2]

"So it's a crit nail?" Gou Chehua was stunned, and then his eyes began to glance towards the pit on the lower left, intentionally or unintentionally.

There, too, is a nail with an exclamation mark on it.

"If you can eat this wave, wouldn't it be able to crit +4?"

As he muttered to himself, the marbles slid down.

Seeing that the marbles kept falling, and brought out a string of [damage +2] numbers, Gou Chehua was also inexplicably nervous.

Unfortunately, the marble missed and did not go the way he had imagined.

But the next moment.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, the marble refracted into the far left side of a nail, and at a right angle, it bounced through the countless nails around him, flying straight towards the crit nail he had in mind.

"Boom!!"

With another full fire, the marbles flew to the top again, and then continued to fall in accordance with gravity.

This time, each nail hit will bring a gain of [Damage +4].

After several twists and turns, the marble finally came to an end and fell straight into the bottomless abyss.

After the first round of attack was accumulated, the goblin at the top of the game screen was seen, and a marble was pulled out of a small cloth bag and thrown at the treant not far away.

“-211!”

The damage dealt is exactly the total amount of damage accumulated by the first marble.

Instantaneous!

Directly empty the 200 HP Treant Blood Gauge.

"I wipe ......" Looking at the screen, Gou Chehua's eyes couldn't help but widen, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

This game......

It's not like Iwanna, who is suffering.

It's not the same as a goose and duck killing with wits and courage.

It......

Seems to be a little cool!
