itch.io

Dear oneVone.

I know $3 is quite a sum. Comparing with other game here at itch.io, it's quite a drag to pay $3 for such a simple game.

When I launched the game on itch.io, the original idea was to be part of the Racial Bundle - which happened and made me very happy. Then the Summer sales came, and I offered the game for free during that period.

When the summer sale ended, I kept the original price. I don't intend to get rich out of this, but the amount of hours I put on developing this game during my jobless quarentine, I though, maybe this could help with some bills.

It's not helping at all as I made no sale, but at the same time, I think it's not the right time to lower the price, as I invested more than a hundred hours on this, and on my mind I want to value my work. Maybe it's the wrong mindset, but it's the current mindset.

Meanwhile, the game is free on Android, with ads. I made 0.02cents out of the ads, which means the game is financially a total flop. But all the comments here and there make me quite glad with the result.

Maybe, sometime soon, I'll put the game free on itch.io, but for now, if you have an Android, you can get it there!

Hope to have answered your question,

Love,
Miguel Antunes

Many thanks. If you have an Android, the game is playable there! Glad the color blind option is working. I wasn't totally sure, as I only had one person testing it.

Thank you so much for the review! I loved to watch you play every single minute.  See you discovering how the game works, but mostly the invert mode part, it made me laugh, your reaction was priceless.

The chillout mode should be called practice. The later levels were designed in a way to make the player always lose. Mobile Games concept! That's why it gets very messy!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the YouTube video! Made my day. I was in need of something like that!

Love,
Miguel Antunes

P.S:
My name was almost there, very very close indeed! You can check it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw41_Dpgxw8

Thank you very much for such a marvelous review! The inversion of color slows time. It was designed to help the player to fast-change the colors of the balls, but on the other hand the whole level inverts, which can be tricky to the brain. :-)

Love,

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! *happy dance*

Thank you very much for your comment! 

ohh! I just found out I was included on the Bundle! This is crazy! I'm happy!!! <3

wow... I wasn't expecting a comment.

There's an android version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MiguelAntunes.PaintyBalls

Hope is the last one to vanish, and what I feel is nothing related to what people is suffering.

It did move, but my game is still not in the bundle, like so many others. I wonder if I did everything accordingly to the post. Time is running out, and it's with sadness that I don't see my game there. Makes me feel I didn't do anything for the cause. ;)

Does anyone have an idea how the URL parser is getting the games? I see games posted after mine getting picked. I'd like to know if the game I sent has any chance of being on the bundle, even when others posted after mine are included. Would be lovely. 

Thank you,
Miguel Antunes

Hello! I'd like to include the game to the bundle/cause.
I couldn't attend the marches where I live, as I was busy working. But I want to support the community in a way that I can.
The game was finished two days ago, and it's my first game ever. It's supposed to be a mobile game, but I believe it works perfectly on PC, as I was already planning to launch on Steam. I decided to anticipate and publish it on itch.io for the reasons above.

Thank you so much for doing this,
I hope the game turns to be part of the bundle. It would mean a lot to me.

Love,
Miguel Antunes
