Great game! Controls are a little sensitive and from observing the other players they are having a lot of fun with just trying to blast the ball into oblivion! Unintended consequence that generated lots of player retention! A happy accident as it were
Add some sound effects and visual effects when the ball hits the paddle to make it more satisfying. Think of ways for the player to challenge themselves. A highscore is an easy one but can you think of anything else?
I think if I were going to reiterate on the concept, I would probably go with getting rid of the "balance the ball" goal and replace it with a "launch the ball as far into space as possible" goal, since, as you say, people seemed to enjoy doing that more than keeping the ball from dropping.
A highscore for height achieved could be added, but players could further challenge themselves by trying to flip the ball up onto further platforms they could control, eventually trying to reach the top of some kind of structure (kinda like Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy). They'd have to start again if the ball dropped.
Thank you for the feedback! Much appreciated :)
I have to say i'm having way more fun hitting the ball like a bat and trying to use the physics to hit the ball faster and further. can you take the colliders for out of bounds out and zoom the camera out to see how far it goes? like angry birds meets baseball.
Great concept, was super difficult- i am not poop! Instructions would've been nice, and I think it would've been better to go straight back into the game upon losing than go to the menu again, also if the ball goes off screen it automatically loses :( But I really enjoyed it and I really liked that it had music and a nice design :D !
Great concept. At first I was a bit confused as to what I needed to do but overall it was a fun experience. I think a short tutorial would help the player understand the controls, I had to guess that I needed to use WASD to move the platform.
