Spinly, in collaboration with Turing Studio, is thrilled to announce the first Spinly’s Pinball Jam! We aim to unite game developers and pixel artists to create innovative, mobile-first web-based mini-games for the Spinly platform. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their creativity while aligning with Spinly's vision of responsible gaming and innovative entertainment.

Event Objective

Create pixel or voxel art mobile-friendly, web-based pinball mini-games (WebGL) that could be featured in Spinly’s Lounge, enhancing the gaming experience on the platform.

Technical Details

• Choice of Engine:
Use any game engine you prefer; we don't have a specific requirement.

• Build Requirements:
The game must be built for WebGL to ensure it runs smoothly on web browsers. It must support both desktop input via keyboard and mouse, as well as touch input for mobile.

• Game Levels:
One level is sufficient for submission, but creating multiple levels will earn you bonus points.

• Art Style:
Pixel art or voxel art is required to align with the aesthetic of the Spinly World.

Spinly's Take on Pinball: Pure Arcade Bliss

At Spinly, pinball is a wild ride through retro thrills and arcade magic. It's where flashing lights, killer sounds, and pure skill collide. For us, pinball is the ultimate rush, a timeless delight that keeps the adrenaline pumping and skills honed...

Pinball's magic is in its simplicity and depth. Each machine is a work of art, taking players on wild journeys—battling aliens, slinging with Wild West legends, rocking out with music giants, or diving into epic quests. Spinly aims to amp this up with dynamic designs, immersive soundscapes, captivating storytelling and killer pixel or voxel art. Every flip, bumper hit, and multiball frenzy needs to be designed for maximum immersion.

We're all about celebrating pinball's edgy, retro vibes. Spinly's pinball universe is an open playground for creativity, community, and nonstop fun. You should not hold any creative juices back because this is your open canvas for ultimate creativity and novelty! Jump into our vibrant world and design the unbeatable fusion of classic arcade action and modern gaming innovation.
