Turning a pinball game into a Metroidvania is such a deliriously inspired choice that it almost makes me want to give this a higher rating. Unfortunately, some elements of the pinball mechanics translate to being more frustrating than fun - namely traversing the world and entering/exiting the various "encounters" you bounce around. Sad to hear that the developers behind this have split since its release because this feels one iteration shy of being something truly next cutting edge for the subgenre. Still, it's charming, silly fun and that's all you can really ask for sometimes.
