Carbineball is a free pinball game by Antti Haavikko, made solo in one weekend for the Ludum Dare 60 game jam and published on itch.io on 18 October 2026. There are no flippers. Your mouse cursor is a small character that bumps the ball up close and shoots it with two revolvers from range, so it plays partly like Pong or Breakout.
The scoring is the interesting part. You build a multiplier by bumping the ball, but you have to shoot between bumps or the multiplier does not go up, and dropping the ball loses what you built. A bonus game rotates every 30 seconds, the board is split into three sections with their own goals, and a few characters and balls unlock with different strengths. Scores go to online leaderboards.
It runs in the browser, and there are downloads for Windows, macOS and Linux. Good for a short break if you like arcade score chasing. The developer declares on the itch.io page that no generative AI was used.
