Thanks for the feedback! I'd say it's a good score. It depends somewhat on lucky car and flag placements as well. I've come up with some cheesy strategies and managed 12.5k points. If I'd flesh this out into a proper game I'd balance things a little differently and make the scoring system more obvious.
I wish I had made the pitch of the sounds deterministic, maybe based on grid position and car colour, rather than random. That way you'd expand on the same symphony little by little. But oh well, I'm glad you liked it!
Glad you liked it! I toyed with having a tile limit. But then I thought I'd rather subtly reward players for using fewer tiles with a higher score, than punish players by adding a limit. I found that it also opens up for strategies where you build longer roads early on and open up for massive scores in the later rounds.
I like how the player has to think about not shooting too much, as too many bullets will be too difficult to manage. Interesting idea! Also enjoyed the retro vibe.
Nice little game! I like the visuals and audio. They go together well.
There's a balance issue, though. You can just let a ball (or two, if there next to each other) bounce without moving the pad. Eventually it will bounce every frame. I managed to get two balls to do this and could just sit back.
Thank you very much for the feedback! I definitely think agree with your points on the gameplay. Didn’t manage my 3 hours well I’m afraid, and as a result never had time to playtest and balance. Good learning for future Trijams!
Great work! Enjoyed the gameplay, visuals, and audio. They all worked well together. Got stuck on the last level for a few minutes more than necessary, as I hadn't realised you can move diagonally. Should have read the instructions better...
Good take on the theme, also. Don't think there will be a similar mechanic in the jam.
