A Pinball Game That Makes You Mad is certainly an appropriate name for this game

A Pinball Game That Makes You Mad is an upcoming release from Azimuth Studios, and you don't really need to guess what the game is about with that name. Dare I say it? I'm going to do it — Is this the souls-like of pinball games? Or perhaps it's Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy but pinball? Either way, this is sure to make you rage a bit.

With a demo now available on Steam ready for Steam Next Fest, you too can try out the infuriating one-button ball-basher and see if you have what it takes to make some progress in it.

More about it: "Imagine a version of Pinball 2000 that actively wanted you dead, and you’d be on the way to understanding A Pinball Game That Makes You Mad. Use one button (or even one finger!) to flip the titular Pinball until you feel the titular Mad, in this titular Game inspired by the maddening genius of Bennet Foddy’s Getting Over It.

Ascend a maze of bespoke flipper-powered puzzles, learning from every fumble and fall. Use timing, wits and patience. When that fails, get mad. Become a Pinball Wizard and claim your awesome gift at the summit. There are optional checkpoints for those who like their glory cheap, and unlockable themes for those who like their pinballs cat shaped (?)."

It has a Native Linux version for the demo and will support Linux for the release too.
