Lots of clever mechanics for such a short period of time, great job!

Submitted

cool idea!

Submitted

A simple game, but a pretty good one! I could only beat the last level with a hint, though, but that's not bad. You should keep going with this one, it could be a cool mobile game or something. Good job!

Submitted

Simple and fun, exactly what the scope of Jam game should be! I agree that the UI could use some work with exposing the countdown theme even more!

Submitted

Very cool idea, and nice artwork! It's not easy and thats good! You should try to develop this further after the event, when you have more time :D

Very challenging and fun. Being able to retry quickly was really useful. You did a really good job. 

Some additional feedback since it might be helpful in the future: 

  • At first I had trouble noticing the shot queue on the right, so that could be made clearer. The numbers were more confusing than helpful.
  • A grid background would help with shot placement.
  • Though not strictly necessary, I think a shot preview line would also be nice. I had this in my GMTK 2021 submission (Liquid Billiards) since it wouldn't work without it. I think I used this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VUmhuhkELk

really great and simple concept executed basically flawlessly, amazing stuff! I picked it up quickly and had a blast going through all the levels, well done!

Submitted

I like the combination of physics and puzzle! It felt good to play too.

Submitted

such a satisfying physics puzzle game! turning the bounce order into a countdown mechanism is super clever, and the animations look so smooth and polished. gives off awesome classic miniclip / newgrounds vibes! lining up the perfect trickshot feels amazing. really solid entry, great job!

Wasn't very clear to me when my shot would destroy the target or bounce off of it.

Sorry about the confusion, it shows the bounce order before the level, and also during the level on the right.

The numbers are the bounce number, and when it shows the explosion, that will destroy the target. The ui on the right reads top down so for example on level 3, it shows " 3 2 1 [explosion]", this means the ball will need to bounce 3 times and on the forth collision it will destroy the enemy.

Fun physics and clean presentation. Feels right at home on Miniclip or Newgrounds!

Submitted

Nice job. A lot of fun to play and very satisfying when you line up the shot just right. 

The moving background made it more challenging to line up my shots, but I'm betting that was intentional. It scaled up the difficulty nicely and kept me playing. 

Submitted

Really fun little puzzle game :3 Great job!

Submitted

Interesting puzzles and mechanics. Well done!

Submitted

This game is very creative, the only problem is that it takes over the whole window

Submitted

Taking the jam theme and turning it into a mind-bending puzzle constraint was pure genius. The rules are simple to learn but the depth is staggering!

Submitted

Very fun. Used a hint on the moving platforms one, but otherwise was really fun when you finally beat a difficult level.

Submitted

Fun Gameplay And nice interpretation of the theme.

Submitted

Quite satisfying gameplay and an interesting take on the theme, well done!

Submitted
