Wow this was super fun, all the mini games, and the visual effects and overall art was fantastic!
Thank you! Can't go wrong with a space theme ;)
Absolutely ace collection of minigames! Space Pool especially absolutely slaps and with such a considered CRT aesthetic I could totally see that on one of the arcade machines at my local. The little shake when selecting menu items was such a nice touch, too; lot of lovely touches generally tbh, like the effects on getting a wave clear and such; very on-brand.
Lovely palette, lovely details, lovely game!
As an aside, just saw your review on our title and the Ren & Stimpy comment put a massive smile on my face, because this is what I'd sent to Meg as part of the brief-in, thanks for the nice words!
Amazing! Thank you. We can't stop giggling playing blowout so your review means alot!
Wow! I loved the music. You did a great job with all of the game modes
Wow! I loved the music. You did a great job with all of the game modes
Thanks so much :)
loved the sound, loved gameplay that was fun, it had some quirks to it but it was a great lil game
yeah definitely a few quirks but we had a blast making it thanks :)
cripsy juicy sounds ! loved the controller. Really fun and full of that JUICE ! also so many game modes dont know how you had the time. really polished game vibes. Just curious whats stopping me from just keep firing in the countdown mode there seems to be no loose condition . solid fun time !
Thanks we do love Juice , they I think with polishing we would give more of a reason not to just constantly shoot or just auto shoot, and there’s not a loose condition for that one just see how many points you can get in the time
I didn't know what I was doing but sometime I was winning. I also like the fact that there is a lot of different gamemode in this game.
thanks :)
This is really well polished and juicy. It has really good feel. Great job!
thanks so much
Great sets of games! “Countdown” is so satisfying to play! The “Space Pool” indeed is the most fun, I played it multiple times :D
Liked the music and SFX as well, cool vibe!
Thanks so much! We may have to flesh out Space Pool a bit more after the jam :)
thanks :) yeah I think it was my fav as well
Very overwhelming, but in a good way. Very polished with alot of content for a game jam!
Thanks for playing! Wishing you a speedy recovery ;)
Cool visuals. I struggled a bit with the controls at the beginning.
I'm curious how you see the different game modes come together into a full game, or if its more of a collection of prototypes`?
Thanks for playing, yeah its more of just a selection of prototypes for now but who knows what's next
Love the artstyle ! and a space Pool game is such a vie honestly so fun !
very happy you enjoyed space pool! thanks for playing!
Feels really nice to play! I'm a massive fan of the screen shake on the main menu too. Love the polish!
thanks so much ;)
Big fan of the whole artstyle and concept, super cool stuff.
Well done !
thanks and well done to you too
Love the sound and visuals!
We love the juice! Thank you!
Cool to include so many game modes for a jam game. Very juicy visuals!
Thank you! We got into a bit of a flow making them :)
The game is incredibly polished for a game jam! The games are pretty fun and the controls feels great. The visuals are very well done!
Thanks! The games feel best in fullscreen so we will add that to the browser version after the jam - the exe works pretty well in steam ;)
So much polish on this game! I loved the little plinks and boops. Really smooth and responsive too.
Thank you!
the juice on this is nuts! The artstyle, colors, effects. The different gamemodes are fun too.
well executed dude
Thanks so much we had a blast making and wished we could squeeze in even just a little more juice
super cool I love the art style. I kinda wish the one countdown one was expanded more into some complex thing because the mechanic is satisfying and addicting to see your shots just eliminate the other balls. Survival one was so hard for me, I'm not good with those stuff. herding and then dog fight were my next faves. Pool was fun as well!
Thanks :) yeah and us too on expanding the idea out, maybe for a future project :)
