It's really fun, I think you lose too much points when ball falls, but I really like it!
Those eyebrows really get me going. Finally I can juggle to my heart’s content! It’s simple, but surprisingly well implemented
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it!! ^^
Good news, I’m just as bad at juggling in your game as I am IRL. Huzzah! (Top score of 6, I felt like I was soaring to new heights)
6 turns is a good score, you're getting the hang of it!!
You’re too kind haha
I like the art and I feel like the juggling mechanics are polished very well. The only thing that feels missing is any kind of audio, but I'm sure you are already aware.
Thank you very much on the compliment!
The game does have sound effects for streak score and streak loss, and also has a song loop.
Maybe it's something about pygame that prevents usage of secondary speakers?
I think you just need to click in-game to enable sounds, it’s a thing browsers do where they only allow audio after the user “interacts” with the page by clicking.
Honestly, I don't feel like I got the hang of this game.
I do understand what I need to do. I just can't move my mouse fast and accurate enough to keep all the balls centered in the normal way.
So, instead, I cheesed and got 225 points 🧀😏
Turns out all you need to do is just hope that the balls clump up together on their own, then quickly shake your mouse vertically in place. No need to move your mouse around since all the balls are in the same place!
Thanks for playing! I usually try to throw them high so they come down on a delay. 225 is an impressive score on the short juggle strat! My best that way was around 156 or 157
This was a fun game! My high score was 74 (On the web version), I never managed to keep more than two in for the air though. The music and animation was very well done!
Thank you very much! It takes a bit to get the hang of multiple balls. I'm very glad you liked the animation and the music!
So much fun. Great game.
Thank you very much! Glad you had fun!! ^^
Awesome game! Reminds me of when I had a Game Boy Camera and the juggling minigame on there!
The art is really beautiful. The way his whole face kinda shifts is so well done!
After a lot of attempts I managed to get a high score of 207.
Thank you so much! I had a blast participating in this jam!
207 is an amazing score! Very nice!
would you by chance like to join my game jam?

I absolutely loved and hated it at the same time -much like juggling itself. Enjoyed the music and the vibes a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it!! Yeah, it gets pretty difficult once more balls get thrown into play, it can be very frustrating to see your score go back down after a single ball was missed
What a neat little concept! Do you have a bandcamp or something? the music's EXTREMELY endearing.
(i got a score of 18 btw!)
Thank you so much!
The music actually were the hardest part of the project, I have spent like 3-4 hours tops on the rest but the music was hard to get right, took about a day of humming back to myself and making small edits. Really glad you like it!
It's my first ever original musical composition! Never thought of making a Bandcamp profile, but I'm seriously considering it now! :O
I liked this game, but for some reason the ball kept going through my hand half the time so I kept losing points.
Glad you liked it! :D
The reason is basically a fix to something, my brother play-tested the game and found out that vibrating the mouse ever so slightly while holding the ball in hand to a ball in the air would generate huge scores, so I gave the balls immunity for a couple hundred milliseconds after being thrown by the player or the ball npcs.
Also, the cursor position marks the center of the hand hitbox, the fingers don't really do anything, the animations are just smoke and mirrors
fun game even though I suck at it
I'm really glad you had fun! That's the point of the game! ^^
I like how the audience makes it harder the better your score is. Cool concept! Graphics are great!
Thank you so much! ^^
The audience obscures the view quite a bit, and the friendly ball throwing npcs are now your biggest foes once your score grows large enough!
Really cute game, the art is great too. It's one of those nice and simple games that just show care for what they make. Really well done.
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it! ^^
This is a really fun concept!! I'll definitely come back to play this game again ! And I love the guy's animations hahah
Really glad you enjoyed playing the game! ^^
I absolutely love this game's graphics, how everything is animated and drawn like in some old browser game. It was fun to try switching beetween the balls as fast as I can.
That's a big compliment, thank you very much! Glad you had fun playing!
I love the animations, Mr. Juggler feels so alive. His concentrated look is very funny. I managed to get up to a hundred by getting two balls in approximately the same position and bapping them repeatedly, which led to a scene where a dozen people were gathered round watching this guy do something completely unimpressive
I'm glad you enjoyed the animations! It's been a blast to figure out the math involved for them. I think one hand short hop juggling 2 balls at a fast pace would be quite impressive, no wonder the spectators bunched up :))
yeah...yeah ur right though...........
just like in real life I'm terrible at juggling but the presentation is very good, I especially like the hand physics
I'm glad you liked it! All the animations are very much smoke and mirrors made by positioning and rotating sprites :D
GG!
Thank you ^^
Glad you enjoyed playing!
