How does the game fit the theme?
"Strike or Break" is a perfect fit for the theme "Nothing can go wrong" because, in this game, everything does go wrong for Jack, our unlucky protagonist. He can’t seem to catch a break — every shot he takes is affected by his nervous tics, and the more he misses, the worse his anxiety gets. It’s like a never-ending cycle where failure just makes it harder to succeed, and it all just keeps spiraling. Instead of everything going smoothly, the game throws obstacles in Jack’s path, and as the pressure builds, you feel the chaos with every failed throw. So yeah, the theme works perfectly — things might not be going as planned, but that’s exactly what the game is all about!

Would love a little indicator that gives you some little idea of what might happen so you can account for it
Ha! Loved throwing my ball at the ceiling!
funny, its a bit to random in wich direction the ball is going. And you should explain more clearly how to through the ball.
This was fun! I'm always a fan of bowling in games like Wii Sports and such, so it was cool to see it pulled off well here! I especially like the clean art style. If I had to think of a way to improve on it, I might say that the pins seemed pretty heavy - there were a couple times where I feel like the ball had enough speed to get a strike or spare, but it ended up only knocking over a pin or two. Great work!
I had a great time playing this game! Bowling was enjoyable and fun. Well done!
I may have anger issues but this game started making me mad >:(... besides my anger it was fun... when I actually hit the pins solidly
Fun game. Sometimes the ball is despairing and take time to continue.
Good job.
Hey, so I had a lot of fun, the game isn't boring and makes you really save every second. I just feel like the camera takes forever to get back to the player, but hey, that's can be just me. Nice job!
PS. I would be really glad if you could rate my game!
This is what we always expect to play in term of bowling game. Control style is interesting and fun.
