How does your game fit the theme?
It's a bowling game but you play as the pins, and you need to dodge the bowling balls. The unique cast of characters and powers that the player would usually have is instead stacked against you, the player.

Game difficulty, audio issues, and mobile support have been adjusted on the latest post-jam build now that the rating period is over!

Cool idea and love the presentation (kinda reminded me of Golf Story). Had a few rounds where I didn't have to move, but the mechanics feel great otherwise.

It's a really cool idea, but the difficulty ramps up too slowly. There were multiple rounds where I didn't even have to move (or just one, very easy hop), just looking at the screen... Ideally if there were like 3 in a row :D
Otherwise it's really nicely polished and the graphics are nice too, good job! :)

Thanks for playing our game! We'll be doing an update after the voting period which adjusts the difficulty in certain areas.

Amazing idea, with an even more cool execution! Also the level of polishing here is truly fashinating, good job! I would suggest to let the match finalize in the moment the player already satisfies the requirements (such as 3 positive takes)

Interesting idea! Well executed! Fun game! Check out ours too!

Will do!

The concept is interesting and the polish around it is really good,  but the game itself could be more fun. It's a shame we spend most of the time waiting for the next balls rather than avoiding them.

Great game! Feels really well polished and the mechanics feel nice to use.

This game's really polish. Creative idea! I really like the Pokémon style NPCs. I don't know if that's what you were going for, but I still like it. The controls add a lot to the helpless feeling being the pin. Making the pins knock each other down was also a perfect choice.

This was a ton of fun, all the character and ball diversity was a joy to see (and flee for my life from)
