How does your game fit the theme?
The player cannot control the balls that complete the level, but rather change the scenery that affects it. While the world at the moment feels like it's spinning "Out of Control," here is a calming game that will hopefully relax players.

Great concept, but I don't really think it fits the theme. I also don't understand why there are multiple spheres, if you only need one to complete the level. Could be a very fun game if there were more levels,  and if you could delete the pieces, which I don't think you can.

This is really cool! I wasn't always sure where the blocks would go, sometimes trying to connect two pegs that I think were too far apart? But it was still a really fun game, and I think if you keep working on it and can make it a little easier to tell where pieces can go then it would be an awesome game! Good job!

I really like this game but I'm not convinced it fits the theme.

Developer

Thanks for giving it a try!

Very nice game and well done. Kept me hooked for over 30 minutes and made me come bavk again after an hour.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! I'm glad you liked it!

Wow! This might be one of my favorite of the puzzle games I've seen so far. It took me a while to figure out that I could manipulate the pieces after hitting "play," but overall I think the element makes the game play more interesting. I had some fun playing it. 

Developer

Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for playing!

Interesting game, I like the concept. Although the level design need a little work, since I thought originally you have to get all the balls to win. It would also be nice if there are some feedback/indication for placing block on the pegs. I really enjoy the music. It was very relaxing.

Overall, this is a solid game! Great work.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and for giving it a try! I'm glad you enjoyed the music!

Cool idea! Maybe the start is a little confusing, but overall, great game!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I found it tricky to figure out which pegs the 2-hole block could go on. I was surprised that the level would complete as soon as a single ball went into the hole. I found it more fun and wacky to play when holding a block and whacking the balls around the screen!

Haha, well I'm glad you made the best of it! Thanks for playing!

Nice! Good concept, but some of the levels felt quite easy. I thought the audio really added to it

Developer

Yeah, it's a little tricky to test a puzzle game when working solo, but alas. Glad you liked the music. Thanks for checking it out!

Submitted

Nice game! Like your style. I agree with the others on bugs and feedback but your concept is very solid.

Developer

Thanks so much for trying it out!

I can see the idea but the game is kinda buggy I think XD hope for an update after the jam to check the full game

Developer(+1)

Thanks for trying it out! There's definitely some tweaking I'd like to do after the jam.

Submitted

Neat concept. I had an issue a few times where I couldn't put down the block I was holding, which meant I had to restart the game, but still enjoyed the game

Developer

Sorry for the confusion. You can only put down blocks when switching them in the inventory, pressing Play, or placing them on a peg. Thanks for checking it out!

Were we only supposed to get one ball into the goal? Because that's how it functions on my end. I was originally under the impression that I needed to get all balls to the goal, so I spent a lot of time trying to solve for that until just one cleared the level. I really like the intro to the game, very clever! Check out my game too, and please look into UI in Unity :c

Developer(+1)

Yeah, it's just one ball you need to get through. Sorry that was a little unclear. Thanks for the  feedback and for checking it out!

Fun puzzle games, a few rough edges in terms of hole lineups and level complete on one ball but very clever.

Developer

Thanks for giving it a try

I like the game but I think there isnt enough feedback when u are trying to place it on an anchor point where you think it might fit but its slightly off in terms of rotation. Other then that its a really good puzzle game :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and for trying it out! 

Fun game and nice concept

Fun game and nice concept

Nice concept, but I was able to beat every level by just pressing play and moving around the pieces, i think it would've been more difficult if the pieces locked in and couldn't be moved.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing it! It's more meant to experiment and find different ways to complete the level, and I didn't want the player to feel frustrated if they placed a piece in the wrong spot. Thanks for your feedback!
