The game features engaging mechanics and beautiful artwork, providing a truly unique experience. It's enjoyable and well-executed, making for a fun and memorable play. Great job!
Oh I get it! "Spare Me" :D
This didn't STRIKE me as an idea, but seeing how many games interpreted the theme for bowling really SPLIT my sides!
Okay enough of that. Fun game. I found the delay between rounds frustratingly slow, and just wanted to get back at dodging. Who are these rowdy teenagers throwing all these balls at once?? I could also have done with smoother movement forwards and backwards.
The bowling alley feel via sound effects was spot on, and the "Nice Spare" losing sound was just so irritating I wanted to show them who's a nice spare :D
Good job!
The mechanics of dodging the oncoming balls worked well and I like the details you had in there - overall nice job on the game!
Fun game! Took me a while to realize you could leave the back row :/
Also excellent job with the lighting!
Took a couple of rounds before I knew what I was doing and after that it was a lot of fun dodging the balls.
I felt like the controls were a little awkward with diagonals like some of the other comments. Also, it was a little weird seeing the score at the end of a run by itself say high score when it resets every time. Fun take on the theme and I liked the perspective. I got to like 28 seconds survived before dying.
Interesting take on the theme! Although there were a few bowling pin games, I like the 3d perspective for this one.
The transitions between each try was also very cool!
My only comment would be, it was slightly difficult to move diagonally, and the risk of getting hit by bowling balls is too high. I stuck to dodging the balls laterally. But i had a lot of fun doing so!
Solid entry!
Hi @HxdDev. I am having some trouble while running the web version of this game. Could you kindly also upload a Windows executable of the game on the submission page, if possible?
Just tested this and thanks for uploading the windows build version of the game. Really nice graphics and feel, especially those ambient environmental sounds. A great twist on the 9 pin bowling. My highest score was 26 seconds. Simple controls and nicely paced mechanics. I see a lot of potential in this for instance you can add more thematic sets with matching pins , balls and billboards in the arena when the player has survived for a given time like 60 seconds of survival unlocks the Shopping Arena, or 90 seconds of survival unlocks the Arcade arena etc. Nice gameplay that encourages you to comeback and survive for a little longer. Keep up the good work :)
[Note: The web version was giving a runtime error in Chrome version 125.0.6422.142, but is working fine now after clearing the cache and restarting that. In the Firefox browser its working fine and the windows build version is working fine as well]
I like the game, just i had trouble moving forwarded to get the lights for more time. But evading bowling balls is nice :D
This is so much fun! I wish I could use the arrows though. The pin animation is very well done too while it moves
I really liked the light and sound effects. Great ambience overall, I enjoyed it!
Great game! Perfect scope for a jam to let you polish the look and feel. The music had a great vibe for a bowling alley, and switching the camera around to the pin's perspective was a great way to "show, rather than tell," what was going on.
Much respect for a job well done.
Simple to understand and fun to play! Visuals and sounds were nice. Great work!
Loved the idea. The visuals looks good and it has a good curve of difficulty. Great job!
Great idea! Now I know what it is to be that one pin still standing. When bowling I'm going to be happy I don't get that last pin. Thank you!
I like this one and it is enjoyable!!
Good luck
