Nice rolling game - the graphics and music are great, wish I had my controller with me. I was only able to play for a little bit will try to finish the later levels in the future

Very fun game, visuals and audio are nice too. Good Job!

Nice work! It was a lot of fun finding the sequence breaks. I had to call it at level 8, but it was really fun collection of mechanics, it’s easy to see this being expanded.

Pretty good job I think the main things its lacking are all polish things that will make it feel that much better. Getting a cool run with ramping off the towers and finding the "tricks" of the level was fun. There was unfortunately a lot of inconsistency with the towers and ramping up them that was very frustrating after pulling off a tough move and then bouncing straight off. Those are just bugs and polish like I said good game overall!.

A very nice rendition of the Super Money Ball formula, the level design is awesome and the difficulty progresses just right.I still have some of the later levels to complete, but I'll get back to it after I play some more jam entries. Well done!

I'm happy I took the time to make a save system so people could return to it at a later date, I did not get around to making an ini though so your settings will be reset unfortunately...

Interesting game! im playing on PC and I think its alright, though the way that the camera snaps the moment i press a or d made it a bit dizzying to play, so a gradual shift would be better. Great job tho love the little guy inside the ball :)

Developer

I spent a lot of time trying to make the levels less snappy, unfortunately didn't ever find something that consistently worked, I will hopefully find that solution after the jam!

always love checking out other people's interpretations of the same game emulation! great job

Very fun game, reminded me tons of MonkeyBall (honestly played pretty identical to MonkeyBall). 

10/10 would Let's Roll again

Let's roll!

Fun game but very difficult. Should have listened to the "play on controller" advice probably. The spiral level is very mean on WASD controls.

Developer

Yeah, going full tilt all the time can make some of the micro adjustments really hard... I was originally worried I had made it too easy, The original plan was to make even harder levels than the last 2 but I abstained, haha.

Bro I really like the mechanics but the game is extremely hard and maybe thats because im not playing on computer

I'm a KnM user, and unfortunately, right trigger doesn't seem to translate to right click.

Found a minor bug with menu: Esc Down will close the menu, but Esc Up will open the menu.

Ultimately, I found the game fun enough to struggle for a little bit on a tougher level before giving up. The complaints I have are tiny little fixes on an otherwise good presentation.

Developer

it probably would’ve made more sense to make rmb the brake on KnM 😅 I have it on shift from when there was a sprint in an earlier version

Submitted

Not having a controller for game like this is kinda sad, monkey ball game are lot of fun, and would be even more enjoyable with controller, guess i know what kind of gift i want for xmas

Developer

I wonder if I reversed the kbm controls if it would play better. (Make mouse movement and keyboard camera)

Submitted(+1)

I’m not sure, it may work but also, it may be even worse. I would say it depend on how you implement it. The problem is the camera wouldn’t be smooth then, and keyboard for 3D camera doesn’t sound great. aside left and right rotation

Developer

Yeah, your not wrong, I would probably need a more automated camera control that takes the velocity into consideration or something.

Submitted(+1)

Well done! It was pretty  time because the break didn't work on my controller (I think) and the tower are a bit unpredictable in which direction they will throw you or if they will even explode.  But I had a fun time.

Developer

I actually had a surprisingly hard time getting the brake  and tower destruction to work consistently. I maybe should’ve explained how the towers work, they take damage equal to the difference of your speed and their shield. I am excited to keep working on this project and making those two things consistent is top priority.

Very cool monkeyball like, great use of the theme and a lot of fun.

I really struggled on the red levels but I imagine it would have been easier if I had a controller.

Developer

I made sure all the levels were doable on kbm, but it is definitely hard mode 😅

Submitted

Good job! Really fit the theme real!

A very difficulty and equally fun game! Tried to make 3-stars on every level, but the biggest difficulty was between the monitor and the chair, so i gave up. Liked the design choice you made by changing the color of the grass depending on level difficulty

Submitted(+1)

This was a lot of fun, we were considering a monkeyball like too, great minds think alike. Audio and graphics are fantastic, game was fun and responsive. The tower concept was really interesting too, would like to see more creative uses of the level like that.

Submitted(+1)

fun and difficult game! i liked the puns you put into almost every level ;)

Submitted(+1)

I love monkeyball. Good soundtrack. Bounce

Submitted(+1)

I would have liked to see more done with the towers, since that's the unique hook to this SMB-like.
