Interesting single mechanic, but as you said it's unfinished. As it is now, it isn't fun, but you get colored balls in there, along with ball-clearing, this could be really good stuff. I'm surprised Popcap games hasn't made this exact thing, tbh. keep going on this.
Sticky balls remind me of World of goo,
Would be awesome to have some goals :-)
I know you didn't had time to test some gameplay, I hope you will, give us your ideas.
If the balls touch the edge os the screen it could be a gameover for example.
It would be a bit weird also because of the HD (1920x1080) screens ratio. So maybe the format could be 1x1 square.
Like at 360 Tetris kind of game ?
Just an idea :-)
Cheers,
I've been working on a camera that would zoom out to fit the balls on screen, and have also thought about adding a circle boundary somewhere just the limit how big you can stack. I'll have to see how a 1 to 1 ratio would look on itch, but I think the camera zooming out will fix the issue.
Pretty nice prototype concept, maybe having more balls would make it harder to rotate, and we could have blue bad balls which should never touch you, so you build up an even layer of red balls to avoid that. You've got something coming here, keep at it!
Very interesting idea, can't wait to see where this goes! Very satisfying to pick up the balls. If you can, also check out my own Project Marble!
Haha, like a bubble shooter inside out.
Interesting concept, hope you can finish it soon
Thanks! I hope I can too.
It's quite satisfying, but there isn't really a game to it is it?
I wasn't able to get to working on the actual game play, as getting the balls to stick together took up all my time, but I will continue working on it as much as I can.
It's already quite satisfying to play. Good luck with the further development!
Thanks!
Good base! It is very satisfying to build up a large mass of balls. Excited to see what you add to make a gameplay loop out of it!
Thanks! I plan to make it into a defend the player using the balls, but you also have to connect the balls in a certain way to earn points.
That sounds awesome! I'll give you a follow, I can't wait to play more if you ever get to updating this. Cool demo!
