Oh nice! The game is simple, but you gave it enough polish and challenge to make up for it.
Thank you, I was focusing on making a simple game as I did it alone, but for my next game jam I hope to find extra help :)
High five fellow bowling game creator!
Those curve balls are hard to dodge! I was terrible at the game 🤣 I like how you incentivised moving forward, away from the back row. Good job on the submission!
Thank you! To be honest, I was surprised how many people thought of bowling :D
After finishing the game I've realized it's too hard, but I'm still happy that I can see progress in my game development capabilities. At start I didn't even think of adding glowing circles that give extra time, but I realized if I don't add something players could just stay in last row and it would defeat the purpose of other rows.
And I thought I was bad at bowling when I'm on the other end of the lane! My best legitimate score is 59 seconds (even though the 'best' score seems to be whichever your last score is.) Moving forward and back is difficult to get the hang of, I was always getting lured in by the siren's call of those glowing rings.
But then I found out you don't actually run out of time, and got this score!
Quite fun to play, with good vibes! I really liked the animation of the pin when it jumps positions. :)
Damn, you are right! I forgot to add game over logic for when the time runs out and highest score logic :D Thankfully the game is still somewhat playable even with these two blunders from my end. The animation took me like an hour because I had to think "how would a pin even move and how do you make an animation for a pin".
Thank you for playing, I appreciate the time you've spent !
Really like this idea, and it plays very nice! The controls are pretty difficult to get good at, but it is still a very nice experience!
Thank you! I agree about the controls, they could be better, but I'm happy about how they turned out given the fact that I've never made a game with predetermined movement positions in every direction :)
I like your pun on the title XD
Its an interesting and fun idea haha.
The up and down movement doesn't seems responsive though. Sometime it works, sometime it don't.
Thanks, I had to google bowling lingo to come up with something :D Regards to the movement I thought people will mention movement in diagonals as to me it could have been better, but as this was first time I tried to do movement like this, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out :)
This is great! I'm really cracking up over how many bowling games there are. You did awesome with yours!
The movement controls felt really good, and the sound effects/music worked really well together.
You also nailed having a ball that curves while it goes down the alley! I tried so hard to add a curve ball to mine but I just couldn't get it working properly. But you got it just right!
Awesome job!
Thank you very much ! I'm surprised as well about amount of bowling games, I thought I was being original when I made the game, but it seems there was bunch of us with similar ideas :D The curve for the balls was a bit tricky, I tried multiple times, for me Bezier curve did the trick.
Nice use of the last stand theme! I liked it very much, though I wasn't spared at the end :)
Yeah, no one leaves alive :D I like to imagine that some one got so pissed that they just kept throwing the bowling balls until they got the last pin. Thank you for playing !
There seems to be a few bowling games this time around, and yours is one of the most difficult, but it looks very good and has excellent mechanics, nicely done.
Thank you very much! I'm quite happy how the mechanics turned out. I've never done anything like this before so your comment makes me happy :)
