I love the idea of a paddleboard weapon! Really great art like usual too. Great game!

Really unique game! I included it in my GMTK compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Scored 28, might try to do better.

Very cool production value, neat idea too, it's quite fun, but I feel like it's missing something somehow, it feels extremely arcade right now.

Triple digit review baby. Really fun and interesting mechanic. It feels good to get into the rhythm of hitting the ball, and aiming snappy to hit enemies. I like the small amount of enemies too, the combinations lead to interesting moments of trying to aim, dodge, and choosing who to go for first.

The ball felt very inconsistent sometimes. Sometimes I'd click when its green and still catch it and get hurt, and other times my timing would be off, and I'd still somehow hit when it's not green. Also, when the ball is behind you its just really weird. Hitting it will sometimes knock it into yourself and kill you, and it can be easy to get the ball behind you when you're moving around.


Still, I kept opening the game up again to play, it's a fun time killer. When you get into the zone it's a really relaxing and fun game.


My last negative is the audio. I personally think it's a little weak. It doesn't feel very satisfying to me to kill enemies, and I wish hitting the ball and having the ball hit the wall made a louder noise. And lastly, I personally didn't like the music very much.


Very good entry though! I always end up having these big long paragraphs about the negatives but I really did enjoy the game, it's good!

Awesome game. Unique idea and very well executed !

Why am I always bad at your games? D: as always, I really love the 3D but its 2D style!

Cool idea to use a paddle! Good depth in the mechanic = easy to learn but hard to master! Nice job! Art is good! Maybe the paragraphs of tutorial text cud have been avoided coz its pretty intuitive. Nicely done!

Very fun game to tune out too. I just got back from work and am not feling like doing much and this game was perfect. might want to turn down those 8 bit sounds though.

Very catchy game ! It took me several attemps to control the paddle ball, but then i managed to do some decent scores. I felt like the ball was really distant from me each time the green light turned on however. Anyway, great work !

Submitted

Nice one! Very different and refreshing, a lot of fun smashing the targets!

Very fun mechanics, also liked the 2d graphics in 3d world :)

My favorite entry so far, unique both visually and gameplay wise! Very proud of my current record (though I am actively trying to get past 100, so far I haven't managed past 70 again, but soon :D )

Developer

Congrats on this. Probably the highest recorded score so far :)

Fun and a really cool idea, would love to see a expanded version on this.

I felt like I was in a squash court, so I started thinking I can lob shots on the wall, but it just bounces back. Maybe a fun idea to explore, to have some risky play there were you take more damage if you bounce, but you also get hurt more if you misses.

It has a very cool feeling. The music makes me smile a lot. It's a bit hard to keep track of the ball. But I think that's part of the challenge

edit:

just realized how to play it now. Great game!

I like the visual style, and the character's weapon of choice makes the game quite different from other FPSs, almost with a rhythm like feeling. Possibly including more elements from the rhythm genre could enhance this game. Maybe a sound whose volume gets louder the closer the ball is to you?

Submitted(+1)

I greatly liked the game! The graphics are unique, the sounds fit the game and the gamefeel (and options such as azerty) feel really good!

My only small ciritcism would be waht Matt Glanville already said, "One change I would like is some audio feedback when the green indicator appears, so I could just listen out for it rather than keep looking away from my crosshair". Would just enhance the feeling more for me!

Great job!
