It was fun to play on mobile! I think it is a pretty good concept, but in the end I just played avoiding red and blue balls that made the game harder. Also I think the game could have been a little bit more tied to the theme because the white ball is not much. However I had a good time, and it is nice to see android games on this jam, good job !

Thank you very much for the honest feedback about game balance. I’ve wanted to add some option to choose game difficulty like easy normal or hard but didn’t have enough time. Also the probability spread is such that you can’t have in total probability of spawning each ball bigger than 1 or 100% so you need to choose the appearance probability of one ball in favor to others and because the white ball gives you advance I decided to make it very rare. I’ve also had an idea about creating two balls in one row, what do you think about it? And you’ve said you were just avoiding red and blue balls in the end so I’m interested in your accuracy score could you provide it to me please?
Your answer made me think maybe I didn't understand your game fully. And indeed I mixed up accuracy and lives, but that's on me. In fact it is made very clear on the UI, I don't know why my brain didn't catch that. So naturally my accuracy score is very low I if avoid red and also blue, but since time and accuracy are shown as equally important on the end screen, as a player I don't know which number is actually my score. Maybe show a third number (which is simply accuracy * time) to make it very clear those are both related to your score ? In a regular game I get around 60% and 100s now that I understand the game, so could it be 600 points ? I hope that makes it more clear to you !
Yes, you are absolutely correct. Accuracy is calculated by dividing your collected green balls by total green balls that have appeared on the screen. So if you multiply your accuracy by your lifetime you will get so called actual score. By the way the game doesn’t show you how many green balls you have collected but lifetime is approximately equal.
