Very cool game, I really liked the gameplay,

Sometimes there's so many information in the screen that my head stops working, but is very fun to try, I love how addictive this games of the jam are,

Congrats for the game man

Thanks a lot ! Yeah the point is to force you to pay attention to a lot of simple things at the same time, which makes it difficult. I think it’s an interesting way of creating challenge.

It's a nice flick, I like the connection to the Aztec culture and their ball games. It's a good thing I wasn't sacrificed after my first few tries! đź’€

One thing you could consider is allowing counter-clockwise rotations (on mouse controls), could help with catching some of those sneaky fast boys.

Developer

Actually I’m not familiar with Aztec ball games ! ^^ Also, depending on if you click left or right of the screen you can rotate in both directions, but I omitted to say it in the tuto… oops !

Submitted

I was thinking of the Mesoamerican ball game. Maybe you've watched the animated film "The Road to El Dorado"? It sprang into my mind because of the balls and hoops :)

Submitted

awesome game it has everything about it great just that the hitboxes are a little confusing as the ball have to reach the middle and not actually hitting the triangle :D

Developer

Thanks ! Actually this hitbox thing has been a bit of a headache, since you can’t have the ball bounce as soon as it touches the triangle and stay aligned on the axes. So I went for them going a bit through, but yeah it’s not perfect

My favorite part of jams is seeing all the really cool game mechanics that evolve from the theme, this one was a great one! Simple, fun, period. Only complaint I have is I wish I didn't have to wait for the ball to reach the corner of the scene before being able to restart, after realizing I made a mistake i wish I could just press r or game would restart so I could start again but I have to wait multiple seconds after losing for game to realize i lost. Nitpicky I know, game was a blast overall!

Developer

Another comment already suggested the same thing, and I 100% agree. I definitely should have thought about it during the jam.

Submitted

Interesting game idea and awesome art! Very well executed!

Developer

Thanks a lot !

Submitted

well balanced game, art, sound ... the gameplay is fun and very easy to understand, at the same time  challenging with the bouncing system with the triangle. ...smart, makes use of logic.  good luck on the jam.

Developer

Glad you liked it :D

Submitted

Simple but very well thought idea, and the execution of it was really well done and clean. If there is anything that bothered me, was the lack of a pause button to restart the game and things like that.

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! I guess that when you know you’ve lost it can be frustrating to have to wait for the ball to reach the border. Hadn’t thought about it, but you’re definitely right ! ;)

Submitted

Really liked the music and the theme, we found them perfect for the style, the gameplay idea was really nice but we found it a bit clunky.  

Developer(+1)

For some reason, I had a much easier time than usual making the music, it just clicked I guess. And gameplay could be improved, of course ;)

Submitted

Great Art! Loved the gameplay! Chill but challenging! Would maybe switch up the UI tho and fix the highscore system. Other than that, amazing submission!

Developer

Thanks ;) UI is pretty basic, I agree. What would you suggest for the score system ? I’m interested :D

Submitted

Might just be me, however the highscore system only displayed my name 10 times. It was a bit strange however it did not take away from the unique and incredibly entertaining gameplay. I hope to see you win!

Developer

Wow thanks ^^ Your name is displayed 10 times on the local leaderboard (it’s your 10 best scores), but there’s a button to see the global one, where you appear once at most (if you’re in the top 10)

Submitted(+1)

I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding! I didn't realize! Truly a perfect submission!

Submitted

Nice concept. It's kind of a brain teaser, but a fun one. :) Is there a intended use for the diagonal ones? I just ignored them, cause I was not sure.

Developer(+1)

Thank you ! There is a piece of tutorial about the diagonal ones, but you might have missed it I guess. You’re supposed to catch them with the wide side of the triangle.

Submitted

nice game and art, a little slow paced but nice

Developer

Thanks ! It definitely gets quite hectic after some time, but I wanted to keep a slow start, for new players to have an easier time. Might have gone a little too slow tho.
