  • Absolutely stunning! Everything about this game is slick. The graphics are perfect, the audio is great - especially the effects (the music loop is a little short), the controls feel lovely too. An amazing example of what's possible for a game jam! Easily app store / Steam quality with a little more work (extra bonus pieces and so on). I would have loved a 'free play' mode, so I could just keep on going as long as possible and making a shot didn't cost any power :)

Really cool game, well executed. It played super well on my phone. I always like to give suggestions or ideas for improvements but im not sure what to say as it seems like the perfect game jam game. Maybe more modes and levels? Idk, cool entry.

Just 1 complain, miss tutorial.

Amazing physics-based billiard-mini-golf gameplay. Perfectly crafted with great replayability!

Thank you very much for the constructive feedback, and I’m glad you liked the game. It means a lot coming from you. I will work more on the game post jam, and adding a ‘free play’ mode sounds like a good idea, thanks!

Wow, very great game. I had lots of fun playing. The physics feel very good and it is so satisfying when you put them into the holes. I also like the "play until you run out of shots" scoring. It really makes you want to try again and beat your own highscore. My highscore was 38, which is probably pretty bad :). I usually try to provide some constructive feedback, but for this game I do not see much which I would change. The only thing which felt a bit strange for me at the beginning was that you do not need to score all pucks. I was a bit hesitant to leave them unscored behind and move on :D. Not sure if there is anything which could be changed to get rid of that, as this comes with the "play until you run out of shots" mechanic. Maybe it could work like that:

  • When you move forward all pucks below the camera will get destroyed
  • For every puck destroyed this way you loose a bit of battery, e.g. one bar for 10 pucks

In this way it would add another dimension of decision making: Do I move forward to an area with more pucks, but lose some battery or do I try to score all pucks with a higher risk that I lose a shot. Not sure if this works :).

Congratulations to this great game! Really liked it!

Thank you very much for a detailed comment with constructive feedback and some good suggestions. I think you did good, because my high score is 77. I think I will make the game slightly easier post jam, especially in the first couple of zones. I’m really happy to hear you liked the game, thanks!

Now we are gaming! This is the type of arcade game I can play over and over. My best score so far is 18 but I'm totally going to go back and try again. Great job on all the gamefeel mechanics, I love the eye movement animations on the puck and the use of audio pitch. Great job on this fun game.

Developer

Thanks for the positive feedback. My high score is 77, and I admit the game is a bit difficult. I will try to make it easier post jam, especially the first couple of zones.

This will win. 10/5

This game is so cool! I can tell just by playing it that a lot of thought and experience went into it. It's one of those games with a simple concept that just works. Great job and thanks for making it open-source as well!

Fantastic game! Simple but very polished. The theme felt a little shoehorned in but the mechanic still fits. Only thing graphics-wise that didn’t work for me was the 3D-ness of the holes: since everything else is clean lines the style didn’t really match. Overall though it’s great, nice job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, especially about the holes. I wasn’t sure if it would work well or not as it was more of an experiment. I’ll probably change it post jam to make them more aligned with the rest of the style.
