I enjoyed playing this one! I like how there are also options for guns. The invincibility take is a unique one where you hide in the ballpit. I really like that interpretation. Great job!
Thanks a lot, Mizu! Glad you liked our take on the theme and the weapon variety. We checked out Wired Garden too — great job on your project as well! Good luck in the final hours!
First you MUST download the game to play it... the browser play lag make it almost unplayable with enemies just appearing.
The theme was a far stretch with only being invincible when you reload. The game was definitely creative and the art enjoyable. I could see this being a fun multiplayer game... not as fun solo. It gives off a bit of a N64 golden eye multi player feel to it.
Also the click through random papers after the menu/ when you start make no sense... is it telling a story? is it instructions?
Thank you for the critique.
The game was made with multiplayer in mind and hope that we can eventually move into downloadable game on Steam. Because it is an itch game jam and player are likely to play browser game (and downloading is risky), the programmer tried to optimize their best. Still, thank you for downloading and trying our game!
Fun fact on that theme, our team lead wants us to have fast food mascot name during development which inspire bringing back the past on top of invincibility theme we tried to tackle. It was fun. As for the story, it was added last few days and not enough time to detail it out, hence the rough draft of the story. Still that tell us we should add dialogue line too (or symbol talking).
I hope you enjoy the game jam too!
I yearn for a good ball pit. Very cool concept and I love the art style.
This one's very creative! I like the menu setup and options and the art style
It was a bit unclear how many lives I had left and how much progress I needed to upgrade weapons (on the web build)
I've been playing baller game after baller game. This was a fun one. Reminded me of fun childhood memories. I like. Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed playing this one, and I always love when people take the time to add customizability to gamejam games like this. Good job!
Great game, congratulations!
I love the main menu, fun game. the only problem I had was you never really knew where the enemies were, you'd just get surprise attacked and die. would have been nice to be able to adjust the camera or something
Thanks for feedback. Not sure if you tried this, but aiming more toward the edges of the screen pan the camera more. More could be done on that though.
This was a super fun and goofy shooter with tons of personality and a really creative use of the ball pit mechanic! Toning down some of the visual clutter would make it even better
I like how hiding in the balls makes you invincible and reloads your weapons. Good use of the theme.
I liked the game's concept! It was fun to shoot balls while moving around the pit. I think the movement is pretty satisfying, but it would have been nice to be able to adjust the camera or have a wider angle since there were times when bullets came out of nowhere and killed me. So that was a bit frustrating. I think some attacks were hard to see since everything is so colorful, so it would be nice if attacks were easier to see. I also think making the hitboxes of the spikes a little bit smaller would be nice since there were times when I felt like I could pass by a spike but then died. But besides that, I think this game has a lot of potential, even maybe multiplayer? I can see streamers or people just having fun shooting each other haha
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. Yeah, a combat mode with multiplayer, or even co-op, would be awesome. That was something discussed early on before we narrowed the scope to just the pickle story for the jam. So hopefully it will happen. We'll see!
Yeah, totally understandable with the time you had. It's amazing you were able to make a game with so much potential! It was fun to play!
Really fun concept and general vibe to this one, the mix of 2D and 3D assets makes for some cool visuals like with the kill effects, and the audio sounds great! Costume editor is also a very nice touch that I didn't really expect to see from a jam game!
The main menu looks cool, and the gameplay is fun. However, the ball pit becomes a bit tiring on the eyes after a while, and the area feels somewhat cluttered. But overall nice job !
Thanks! If we continue development we'll need to add some options on the ballpit appearance.
Fun game and the menu is cool!
art style is SOOOO GOOD. So funny. I don't understand how it relates to the theme tho.
I like it! I love that i can change the costume, i like the movement and shooting it’s really smooth, menu is done very good! Amazing game!
