This is a pretty fun score attack game, I got no complaints other then lack of music, I am happy you made the 3 difficulty settings. Also ball go brrrrrrrrr

Submitted

This is super fun and well polished. I made it to level 13 on easycore. I've never heard of BBTAN and I don't know how much of this is cribbed directly from that, but it's super well done even so. I love the little faces the shapes make when they're destroyed and I love how satisfying the bloop noise is when you get your shot to ricochet off a lot of blocks like in breakout. Hell, I like that sound so much I'll mark up the music score for it even though the game is otherwise dead silent. Great job!

Submitted

Very impressed by how polished the game is. Even small things like the tiny jiggle, once you hit a shape. Also, i'm really glad that there is a difficulty option since i haven't played games from this genre i could learn how to play it properly on easy and jump to medium after. I feel like you could just leave the game as it is and publish it on mobile. I think it could do really well there as well. Fantastic job !

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re indeed contemplating publishing it on Google Play soon, after we do some more testing, bug fixes and a menu that doesn’t look like it was made hastily at the last minute for a game jam :)

Submitted

Nice game. Fun to play :) and thanks to you I learned about "BBTAN by 111%". I will have to check it out. Thanks!

Developer

No takesies backsies! :) Beware, BBTAN is addictive as crack, or at least, cheese crackers!

Definitely had me stuck playing for longer than I expected too, I always enjoy games like this! 

Developer

Thanks, FroggieJonnie! That means that we didn’t screw up the dish from that well known recipe, which is quite reassuring! :)

Submitted

Great and simple design and a fun game! The multiple difficulties was a nice thing to have.

Developer

Thanks for playing, Lukas! Easy and medium modes were kinda minute additions, since we always skimp on playtesting during jams and usually make games way too hard.

Submitted

The game is very good. It is a game that could well be on cell phones. It lacks a bit of relaxing music or some soft instrumental, but it is well done implementing the game jam theme. Good job!

Developer

Hey! Thanks for playing and also for the feedback!

I just sat down to make some music for it. :)

Submitted

The implmenetation of the theme was very fitting. Adding this touch to a game makes it a bit more challenging. But maybe the shooting angle is a bit too high since there could be an exploitation of that (already found one ;) )

Developer

Thanks for playing and also for the feedback! Could you record and show a video of the exploitation?

Submitted(+1)

Well, I wouldn't really call it an exploitation, but it does make the game very easy. Even in Hardcore mode.

Just by making the shooting angle smaller, you could make the game harder ;)

I get the idea, but forst of all, this way it takes a lot of time to get to the top. Also, there will be fully filled rows where this tactic just won't cut it and some triangles could easily delfect the balls. My record is around 18 on Hc. I would love to see a vid if you can beat it with this technique. :)

Submitted

Great game and very addictive, well done!!

Developer

Thanks for playing, Michael!

Submitted

this is really addictive, very good for a mobile game. But were is the theme?

Developer

Thanks for playing! The ball damage is 3, 2 or 1, when you choose it in the 3 steps of the turns. Also, there was an idea that the movement/aim/dmg would have a countback from 3, 2, 1 but we ran out of time. :/

Submitted

The game is super fun and satisfying. Especially when you line up that perfect shot that gets out almost all the shapes. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Indeed, if you manage to clear the whole screen, you get an XP bonus (the amount of XP you’ve collected that round).

Submitted

This game is really fun! It's super satisfying to line up a shot perfectly and watch all of the shapes get destroyed.

Well Done! The game is simple yet additive.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for trying our game! :)

you’re welcome!

Submitted

Fun idea, the speed at which the angle changes made it a bit hard to aim

Developer

Hi there! Thanks for trying! We didn't want to make the game too easy. But yeah. Maybe that should be changed.

Submitted

It is definitely a fun idea, and i think making it slower is not the solution either, so idk. Overall it was still a lot of fun! Our game is probably way more unreasonably hard, so idk if im one to talk hahaha

Submitted

Really cool wobbly animations for the blocks. Solid and engaging gameplay. Keep it up!

Developer

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! The plan is to make the gameplay a bit deeper with upgrades on the level up not just for the ball count. :) Drop a follow and get the updates. :)
