Great!

This is such an interesting take! I love the concept and the mechanics behind the gameplay. I also enjoy the idea of creating your own obstacles, either make it easier for yourself and earn less points, or make it challenging and earn more points. No feedback, this is a really solid game!

Bugs I encountered:

  • When adding obstacles to the level, if you drag the obstacle to the end goal, you can gather more points when the yellow square and the end goal touch.
  • When you move the player while holding the ball and touch the goal, one of the sound FX is constantly repeated.
  • When you shoot the ball, gain points through the yellow squares, then is shattered by an obstacle, the scores on screen vs. the top right corner are different.

Overall, such a great game! A lot of potential for a mobile game entry. Great work putting this together, I look forward to any future development for Golden Trial!

Thanks for playing and for the bug list :) I will fix them in the post jam update :)

Really polished game and a genre I have never tried.

It was really fun, I got a score of 12k in my best run.

The sounds were a bit loud, sometimes the tutorial would be superimposed on the screen.

There were a lot of mechanics which were a nice addition.


Congrats on a really polished release!

Very interesting take, one of my favorite ideas, the art is also cute and anciant like, the sound effect is cool but would have loved some pitch variation and some music, maybe some in-run chainsaw sounds too, overall nice concept with a nice implementation, this would have really benefited from a leaderboard though

Such an interesting and unique concept, executed so well. I could see this becoming a mobile game that i would get addicted too for hours. The art is also excellent aswell. A couple suggestion:

  • Polish the game quite a bit
  • There are a lot of significant bugs, including ui staying behind

Great job though, would love to see this expanded

Very interesting. Took me a moment to figure out how to control where the ball goes. Building my own destiny is empowering (fun). I love minimalist games!

Although on the surface the similarities are minimal, this is giving me strong "Talos Principle" vibes. There is something mysterious and intellectual going on here. Very cool.

Cool combo of map builder and pool shots. Excellent music. Fun visuals. Really enjoyed this game entry. Well done.

I reminds me of one of those free mobile games I used to play on my phone. I really liked the visuals, music and sound effects. Overall a great game. Well done!

What a great clean minimalistic artstyle! Love the idea and design of this game.

Oh my, this is such an amazing game. The music, art, and gameplay are all outstanding. I really enjoyed the game’s rhythm(★ ω ★). By the way, I scored 20,650

Satisfying gameplay and great visuals. I also love the way you handled the risk part of the theme!

Submitted(+1)

Cool and unique consept with good execution. Making the game easier for yourself with the cost of your score or making it harder to get more score fits the theme well.

Submitted(+1)

Very interesting and fun concept! There were some elements not immediately clear to me at first. For instance, I didn't realise I could fire the ball into a wall and catch it again. I also encountered some small bugs, which you might already be aware of (totally acceptable for a game jam!). The second-level tutorial UI stayed on screen and made it hard to see what was going on, and I could get a free score by moving an obstacle into the goal post while placing it. These didn't detract from the overall experience, just wanted to share for visibility. Really unique and fun. Nice work.

Submitted(+1)

Nice and original game idea, well done! Making the whole course more and more difficult with each try is an amazing way to make a balanced difficulty. After all, it's you who's doing all of this to yourself, not the game.

Keep up the good work!

Simple controls and changing stages. I like it. Good Work

Submitted(+1)

A good use of the theme with good visuals. I feel like having premade levels with the player been able to add more would work better.

Great game and concept, reminds me of ultimate chicken horse, however found a bug that gave me free points when i was placing my blocks by dragging them to the goal thus getting some extra points! Good work nice game!
