Really good game!!!! 

Submitted

Very interesting childhood game. I won on the first try, but never win again :)

Really remind me of childhood even though what we have back there was a racer game with pencil and paper. 

Good job!

Submitted

Very nice game! I managed to win. It was very good! Good job :D

Submitted

This is an interesting game, I couldnt really win even once. I didnt quite understood the mechanics of how to move properly at first, eventually I got a grasp on how you move since my opponent always moved like 3 or 4 times while I was moving only once.

The game deffinetly needs a clear explanation and a proper tutorial. Even the AI on the tutorial level should be very simple to avoid loosing players on the first minutes of the game.

Congrats on finishing the jam, good entry.

just had some pretty close game, but in the end managed to completely cut off the AI from getting onto my half of the field :) even though I was sure I lost it already ;)

Lmao - took me actually way too long to figure out how to win with PC. Perfect job on your first game. I'm super excited that this game is actually that polished while being ur first. Powodzenia.

Developer

dzieki! :)

Submitted

The game is very unique but also kind of confusing. It took me just about a minute to win. 

Developer

thanks for reviewing it! :)

The game was fun to play.

Wow I've never played this before but it was a lot of fun. Probably took me 5 tries before I won a game (the ball got stuck on the others).  I also had some trouble thinking of a game to match the theme and I actually started making a puzzle game until I decided to just make a tower defence.

Developer

Thanks for giving it a go, I'm glad you liked it! The theme was narrowing down possibilities quite heavily, but what matters the most is getting something done in the end :)

That was kind of addicting because I wanted to understand how it worked. Like a strategy game. I'm still wondering what the rules around your lines and the AI lines. Overall it was a fun little game. Took me 3 rounds to win. Nice job on completing your first game. 

Developer

Thanks for taking your time to play it, I'm glad you managed to win :)
I will surely have to introduce some sore of tutorial, or animated rules explanation since the concept doesn't seem to be as popular as I thought it would be ;)

Submitted

The game was interesting, and also different from other games here in the jam, i think you should work on the audio because the whistle is kinda bad.

Developer

Audio is far away from ideal, hey? :)
Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it!

Submitted

besides the audio the game was good the audio destroyed my ears the graphics were also very basic for your first published game it is pretty good the theme is where my it went wrong i understand but i can easily not be seen

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!

Submitted

the sound kinda hurt my ears, but it was a fun little game for sure!

Developer

Thanks, will try to work on better sound picks in the future ;)

It feels like the AI is too good, so it is a bit frustrating. It's a really different concept of game of what i've seen in this jam, so it feels refreshing playing it. The core mechanic is interesting.

Things i would improve:

-Some background music would be nice, feels a bit too silent.

-As i said, AI feels OP

-MAKE IT FOR MOBILE! It feels like a great game for it.

-Maybe a multiplayer mode so you can play online (of course not for this gamejam) would be great!

It feels like it can be improved a lot, but it is a really good game and i find it interesting. Good job!

Developer

Appreciate your feedback, thanks for taking your time!
I plan to turn it into a mobile game once some extra polish added, multiplayer is also on my TODO.
Thanks!

Submitted

This game is awesome, if it had multiplayer it would be a great timesinker. I got one lost, one win and one draw, lol

Developer(+1)

Haha not bad for first few matches, good job ;)
Thank you for your feedback, multiplayer as a mobile game "coming soon" (hopefully) :)

Submitted(+1)

Awesome, can't wait for it!

Submitted

First time I ever heard of paper soccer. Cool game, and kinda hard honestly. I ended up in a draw 2 times and lost a third one. Anyway, awesome, I will deffinetly keep trying until I win haha. My max combo was six, which is probably not much though...

Developer

It takes a bit of practice to make use of some massive combos, thanks for taking your time to play it and for your review, appreciate it!

Cute game and play on. Never played the analog version of this, but i do remember playing a version of battleship like this. Good submission!

Please play and rate my game: https://bluemerlegames.itch.io/orbi

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! I liked your game too! :)

Submitted

I had to switch to Firefox from Chrome to get it to work. For some reason in Chrome I couldn't start the game. Just WebGL things :) 

That said, surprisingly engaging game that requires planning! Like another comment said, it could be a very nice mobile game. Very cool idea and good job overall!

Developer

Thanks for taking your time, it's a shame webgl causes issues sometimes..
I will make sure to release it for mobile this year! Cheers!

Submitted

A cool and addicting game. It took a little while to get used to, but once I got the hang of it, it was fun trying to figure it out!

Developer

Glad you liked it, thanks for your review!

Submitted

After a couple of tries I got the hang of it :) Very cool game! I think a mobile version would be great, with maybe some polish on the menus, could be a hit! Simple and addictive! Good work :) 

Developer

I must admit I had no idea how to create a reasonable menu that would work well on mobile and desktop -  will have to watch more Brackeys' tutorials ;)
Thank you for your time to review my game!
