This is a super fun and addicting game. I really enjoyed it a lot. I hope to see more updates to this game. Nice work!

Developer

Super satisfying game and great implementation of the on the edge theme :D. Overall, really fun+ feeling of the physics is great! something like a history of past throws so I can more accurately adjust my next throw would be a cool addition

Developer

Thank's and okay it's a good idea, i notice for update ^^

A unique take on the theme. It's tense watching the ball hoping it doesn't roll over the edge. Liked the detail of waiting for the measurement and not just telling the player who won.

Developer

thx ^^ yhea i find it more cool to wait the result haha xD

Matches the theme perfectly, and has a great concept. I love the amount of levels and the progression, though it would be great if there was something else on the field to aid you or something. I only played the 1st and 2nd worlds but overall I think it's great! I can see it as a full game.

Developer

Yhea thx ^^ i maybe will update idk

This is a great take on Bocce that fits really well with the theme! I thought I was getting into golf and was pleasantly surprised by a simple, yet addictive game loop.

A couple recommendations. I wish there was a way to start a throw over. There were times when I released too soon or just knew immediately the ball was a goner, and I would have liked to just click to start again. This second one was only really an issue in early some levels, but you could win even if your ball was much further than the Boss'. It only measured the x distance instead of a point to point distance. So I remember on one level my ball was like five times further than the goal because I was on a cliff above it, but because I was only a bit to the left of it, I won. Sort of felt like a fun exploit though! Not sure if that was intentional!

Really ambitious with the online scoring and I liked being able to name my character. Nice art on the boss when he lost. I  never got sick of seeing him cry! Felt rewarding after winning a match. Great work! If you keep at this one, I think it would be a blast to play against a second player and be able to hit the other person's ball.

Developer

Ho thx for your comment ^^ I work on the satisfaying of the player and for the update with a second player it will be maybe complicate to implement haha

This is great!  Simple to play/understand but, challenging enough to keep the player coming back for more.  Nice job guys!

Developer

Thx ^^ yhea it's diificult to adjust correctly the difficulty when you are the creator of the game

This game had a really cool mechanic that was a lot of fun to play.  Your level design worked very well with the mechanic as well.  Nice use of the theme "on the edge".  Good job!

Developer

Thx ^^ yhea i just take a simple mecanic

Submitted(+1)

I love how the ball can literally be on the edge of the cliff. When you think the ball is gonna fall, it actually stays. Simplicity is also good for this game and I got vibes from the classic game "Bounce."

Developer

Haha thx ^^

Really fun game. It's quite sad that you have that level bug, I would have loved to see the last two levels. Maybe you can put them up in your page with a text of "these levels are yet unaccessible from the game because of a bug".

I love the big ball mechanic. It just looks a bit weird.

And one more thing that I want to point out, is that I couldn't manage to break the game lol.
I tried shooting the ball out with hyperspeeds, but it never worked. I'm actually impressed by that (by this time, I managed to cheese like 5 games in a row with all types of weird bugs and glitches) :P

Really loved the game... other than the boss... but it was the jam requirement, so I can see why you couldn't do anything else with him.

Developer

Ho thx ^^ and yhea it's complicate to make a good physics.
For the boss, i make a bad character, because it's your opponent. But yhea it's to feat with the Theme ^^

Very cool, and the theme implementation has actually reached the perfection in this title!

I just would love to see the feature where the boss actually hit(/throw?) his own ball from the same place where the player does before the player does: Then the needed distance value varies on each game a small amount and the boss play with the player. Of course the boss is very good player, and avoid throwing the ball off from the edge, though.

The menu graphics and other graphics would be a little better, but this is great. Boss with a silly huge crown make it just right annoying to want to competitive with him and win any types or any amount of the levels just to beat his score on it's kinda like "own game".

Developer(+1)

Thx ^^Yhea maybe the boss is useless but if there are not a Boss is will not feat with the Jam so...

Submitted(+1)

really fun! i felt amazing every time i finished a level but i did not know how to get past level 4 in world 2 sadly but the part i could finish was super fun!

Developer(+1)

Yes is a bug and i can't change this... but thx for your supporting <3

Submitted(+1)

Developer(+1)

Ho, maybe mire entertainement ^^

A super fun take on the theme! I like the ball physics and the different mechanics were well balanced. I do wish I could see my lash shot line so I have a gage on what my next attempt should be. And also the game cannot be finished ! Level 3-4 loops back to 2-4 and you cannot access the last 2 levels sadly.

Anywho, really funn, glad to finally play it ! And check this pretty score I got :D

Developer(+1)

Ho great, so strong !

I'm sorry for bugs, it was hard to finish so it's possible they are lot of bugs in the level management xD

Thx to play Potomax <3 don't hesitate to instal the game to be in the leaderboard hehe

I enjoyed this, though I had to restart the game, I wish there was a way to skip the dialog. 

Developer
