I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man.

Chapter 24 Goblin Pinball

Is there a new game coming so soon?The engraving designer is really talented and there are no bottlenecks!
This was Gou Chehua's first reaction.

But on second thought.

An independent game producer would spend three to five years just polishing a game, and it would be even more difficult to come up with results.

Even if the engraving designer is extremely talented, it still takes time.

"Perhaps this is a stock that the engraving designer has prepared long ago, just to test my ability?"

This is the most likely!
Okay, then I have to use all my skills to improve this game!

Before even finishing the instant noodles in his hand, Gou Chehua rushed to his computer desk, put on his headphones, and opened his mailbox to download the installation package sent by Ke Jinxin.

While waiting for the decompression, Gou Chehua thought about the name of this game.

"Goblin Pinball"

"Goblin? Is this selling point a bit... too outdated?" Gou Chehua muttered.

Even though the game market is now highly homogeneous, many games still open with weak characters like goblins or slimes, allowing players to accumulate an initial pleasure of improvement.

This has caused the already homogeneous market to become more volatile.

Today's players, when they download the game and see that the game starts with Goblins, many of them are immediately persuaded to quit.

Many top manufacturers have realized this problem and are gradually avoiding creatures like Goblins.

As for the pinball element, Gou Chehua didn't know how to develop it.

When I was a kid, everyone played marbles.

But when it comes to the design of the game, I always feel it’s a bit uninteresting.

Based on his knowledge of the gaming industry over the past three years of working in the industry, it is not that no gaming company has tried to incorporate pinball elements into it before.

Trying to make a match-[-]-like game, but changing the game from matching to playing.

Use its elasticity to collide with three identical objects to achieve match-[-].

But in the end all ended in failure.

Without it, players don't like this kind of game with too many uncertainties.

Once it fails, the whole game has to start over.

Even if a resurrection mechanism is added, it is still uncertain whether it will succeed next time.

If a player never gets positive feedback, the probability of abandoning the game goes without saying.

"Uh..." Gou Chehua fell silent.

Whether it's goblins or pinballs, neither element is very likable.

The engraving designer blended these two elements together...

No matter how you look at it, it’s doubly unpleasant…

"Is the beginning going to be a hellish difficulty..." At this point, even Gou Chehua was unsure.

In my mind, the game has been decompressed.

As soon as I opened it, a strong pixel wind hit my face.

This is another minus point...

Although the previous pictures of iwanna and Goose and Duck were not exquisite, their focus was on the gameplay, so players would subconsciously ignore the picture quality.

Now that Goblins and pinballs have been proven to be unnecessary, the key is whether the graphics are exquisite.

"Alas." Gou Chehua sighed helplessly.

This game is obviously not going to be popular with the naked eye.

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

You can't force a game designer who has just debuted to come up with new ideas all the time.

It’s not easy for people to make two popular games.

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

While talking, Gou Chehua clicked [Start Game]

What surprised him a little was.

It is different from the image of always getting hammered in other games.

This time, the Goblin is actually the protagonist.

In the game, it carries a small brown backpack filled with marbles made of various stones. It is also short and looks cute and cute, but not offensive.

After selecting it to enter the game, a map like a primary school student's drawing is spread out in front of you.

The starting point is the little goblin chosen by Gou Chehua, and two dotted lines extend in front of it.

One leads to the skull icon and the other leads to the treasure chest.

In addition, below these icons, there are more dotted lines as extension lines.

"Does this mean you choose your own level?" Gou Chehua said to himself, and then clicked the mouse on the skull on the left.He needed to see how the game was played first.

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

The screen turned, and in front of the little goblin, two tree men with health bars of 200/200 appeared.

Obviously, if you defeat the tree man in front of you, you will have passed this level.

However, the unique attack method of this game made Gou Chehua slightly widen his eyelids.

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

Instead, it is a pinball panel presented at the bottom of the screen.

Just like playing billiards, the marbles that the player is about to throw will be fixed at the top point.

Then, there are small dots evenly distributed all around, which are called [nails] in the game.

These nails are weakly elastic, and when marbles are thrown and hit them, they will refract and rebound.

Of course, every time it is refracted and rebounded, the strength of the marble will decrease, and due to the influence of gravity, it will continue to fall, and finally fall into the pit below, even if it is an attack.

Gou Chehua aimed at a random location, pressed the launch button, and an ordinary stone began to eject in the direction pointed by the mouse.

"Snapped!"

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

Then it refracted in other directions, and immediately hit another nail head-on.

[Damage +1]

In this way, the refraction jump continued all the way, and the elasticity of the marble became weaker and weaker, and the position became lower and lower.

Until he was about to fall into the pothole, the damage at this time had only increased by 13 points.

This means it can deal 13 damage.

But the tree man has 200 health, and there are two more.

"It feels a bit difficult..." Gou Chehua had not yet finished speaking.

Suddenly, I saw the marble colliding with a special nail on the bottom layer. There was an exclamation mark drawn on the nail.

"Oh!"

As if new vitality had been injected into it, the marbles reversed their decline and soared into the sky!
It crashed all the way back from the beginning.

But this time, every time a nail is touched, the displayed text will change to [Damage +2]

"It turned out to be a critical nail?" Gou Chehua was stunned, and then his eyes began to glance towards the pothole on the lower left side, intentionally or unintentionally.

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

"If I can eat this wave, wouldn't it give me a critical +4?"

While he was talking to himself, the marbles slid down.

Seeing the marbles falling continuously and bringing out a series of numbers [Damage + 2], Gou Chehua felt inexplicably nervous.

Unfortunately, Pinball missed the mark and did not go the path he imagined.

But the next moment.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, the marble refracted and collided with the leftmost side of a nail. It ejected at a right angle through countless nails around it and flew straight towards the crit nail that he had been thinking about.

"Boom!!"

With another full firepower, the marbles flew to the top again, and then continued to fall along with gravity.

This time, every hit on the nail will bring [damage +4] benefit.

After several turns and ejections, the marble finally died and fell straight into the bottomless abyss at the bottom.

After a round of offensive accumulation, the Goblin at the top of the game screen took out a marble from a small bag and threw it towards the tree man not far away.

"-211!"

The damage dealt is exactly the total damage accumulated by the first marble just now.

In an instant!

Directly clear the 200 health tree man's health tank.

"I'll wipe..." Looking at the screen, Gou Chehua couldn't help but widen his eyes, and there was something strange in his eyes.

this game...

Unlike the suffering Iwanna.

It is also different from the battle of wits and courage.

it……

It seems a little cool!
