  • This is a multiplayer game where you have to beat your opponent by moving the ball from one point to another, the first to score wins! You can choose the best character to play and beat your opponent and use their powers to make it easier to score. It would be nice to have the option to play single player against an AI.

Open Source

I like the audio! Think is fun! I didn't have anyone to play with, I was just checking it out but will try multiplayer later! It seemed like maybe some of the character's power-ups were overpowered I am thinking of the one that allows you to move again if you move to an empty space. Using this you can cover a lot of ground at the beginning of the game. Great work!

This is pretty cool. Could really benefit from an AI to play against.

GREAT GAME!! NICE ART STYLE

Nice art! The descriptions and abilities of each character made them have different unique play styles.

Nice take on the old game. It should earn its place in iOS and Android stores!

Pretty impressive that you did a multiplayer game for this game jam! I could only try it in local multiplayer against myself, but it provided a good insight into the game. I really liked the art style and the tutorial which was straight on point. The descriptions of the different players are also very fun. Some things I would improve:

  • Make it really clear which players turn it is. I realized after a while that the bar at the bottom has the color of the player whos turn it is, but maybe a short announcement (text on the screen) which says what is going on (e.g. if you can do another turn) and whos turn it is would have helped.
  • Probably to large of a project for a game jam, but a computer player (AI) would be really cool, so that you can also play the game in singleplayer mode.

Congrats to this cool game!

Thanks! Definitely agree on both counts - I’ve also struggled remembering whose turn it is during testing, I’ll probably find another visual highlight somewhere and add a sound effect between moves and turns.  

Adding an AI was definitely a goal - part of the reason for doing the game and doing it in typescript was to learn how to add some kind of search based AI in a really simple system (i.e not chess) , but I joined halfway and sadly just ran out of time. If I work on it in the future it’ll be in there
