Satisfying to beat that ball into the bumpers! Would like to see the ball more gradually come to a stop as the quick slow down felt off, but otherwise you nailed the feeling and effects of everything else. Great job on the entry!

Interesting entry for the jam! It reminds me of the pinball game which I played when I was young. For some reasons, the spinning obstacles are not spinning after I restart the level in The Echo level not sure why. Overall, a great entry that you should be proud of!

hey this was tons of fun!  well done.

I played this for so long and had a lot of fun! I love that you have to bank points to actually recieve them.

Originally this was not the case but when we thought of it and put it in to practice we knew we had something going.  Thanks for playing!

With some refinement over the controls it could be a great release.

Good idea combining a pinball game with a race track. I like how finishing a lap gives extra time along with the multiplier or bank. The multiplier is a fun risk and reward since I don't know if I can finish the next lap.

pretty fun, satisfying and creative, just a little more polish on the visuals could go a long way though

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!  I am the one responsible for the visuals and I agree haha.  I am really proud of the buttons but the original goal was to polish the walls and background more in the levels themselves and it just wasn't meant to happen ha.

I really enjoyed playing this game, i also like the style of the logo "loopin" :D It reminded me of 8 ball pool. Good rating for me! :)

The animations/effects are very satisfying. How the ball bounces of feels very polished. gj

Cool game. I like the music and overall style of the game. A small issue I had was in the sides of the screen the controls don't work well. I cant shoot the ball to the direction I want and also the power is not controllable. I think adding a separation between the sides and the main field help in controlling.

Really enjoyable and a great fun! A bit frustrating that you cant release outside of the game scree so if you have more than one monitor pay attention tot that
But other than that really fun and creative!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing!  Yeah we need to figure out something for that.  The windows version centers the cursor when clicking so it helps to keep that from happening but the web version has issues with that.  Either way, glad to hear it was fun!

Fun arcade game! It’s very hard to control the ball, it moves way too fast to aim properly. The pull back power is way too strong so I just kept spamming max power. Maybe a small slow down speed when aiming. I enjoyed playing, well done!

Developer

We didn't advertise it well, but you can start shooting from any mouse / touch position, you don't need to drag anywhere near the ball.

Thank you for giving it a go!

Very fun, it's a good feeling when you check in with only seconds left and get a huge number of point. The only slight problem I have that it just shows the base points and not the multiplied points when you hit something. It would've been fun to see those big numbers popping up. Other than that, nice Job! :D

Developer

Thanks for playing! That's a really good idea!

really cool concept. got that idle game feeling of getting bigger and bigger mult.
i liked the music, and the game was pretty good, same as the other comment it was annoying when the mouse went off screen but fullscreen was comfortable enough :D

The issue I had was not being able to move my spring off the side of the course. Even in full screen. Still, very fun!

Thanks for the feedback and for playing!  I'm not sure if this would solve your issue but you can actually click and drag anywhere on the screen to shoot, you don't need to be on the ball or anything!  Thanks again!
