Games Merlin what did doth befall to thee? || Sprite pachinko plus 2D

This is the prototype of my first game and I loved making it

A bit of background

Always had an interest for programmable stuff, but life happened and I ended up in a different career with no fulfilment. About a year ago I knew I had to make a change, so I picked up my teenage hobby again. So far I finished a webdev course, and at the moment attending a CS basics + software testing course. I played around with a lot of things in my almost 30 years, PLCs, neural networks, injection bots, you name it. But the amount of fun never even came close to what I experienced with unity (first time meeting with C# or any C language by the way). So when the first "hands-on" project began I got a bit carried away, by the time I finished the supposed "Sprite pachinko" project, the whole thing started to resemble something that wouldn't feel uncanny if it came across on Miniclip around 2005. So I kept going telling myself stuff like "Okay, just this one more feature and I'm going to bed." and "I'll only search for the assets needed for the next idea, scripting can wait until tomorrow.". Ideas came and scripts got written, and when the sun came up I ended up with a game I feel proud of. Upon showing it to my girlfriend, she was amazed, "This almost feels like a real game! Did you really make this? " as she put it. For me that was the greatest recognition in my CS journey so far, it gave me enough confidence to show off my work publicly.
