For being your first game jam this was impressive. Clean visuals and UI. I always find marble games fun and this was no exception! I do feel like some balancing on values such as movement and bounciness could really help this type a game a lot. For something like this, I would recommend in future projects, get the basics in first, and test a bunch until it feels really good to you. Then have a few people test it for you (Friends/family). Watch them play around. If they are struggling a bunch, then you might need to tweak the values further to be aligned to be more favorable for the player! Other than that, great work!
Nice game I only managed to get passed the second stage it's really tough ......
If you have time rate mine as well
Clean presentation and UI. It fits the theme perfectly but the walls pushing your ball miles away for milding touching is a bit harsh, it gets really irritating in arcade. But the option to choose free play was a win. Great game from a fellow first game jammer. Seeing your entry showed me that i still have a lot to learn and you used a framework at that. All the best!
Well done! Very surprised to see that this is your first game, and it's doubly impressive as a solo dev, so congrats. The primary mechanic works well, though there are a few areas I think the game could use improvement. Firstly, the walls being perfectly elastic was not very intuitive and occasionally frustrating. I'd recommend having most of the walls be less bouncy and saving that strong bounce for a specific wall type. I also would have liked some ambient music during the gameplay. Overall though, great work, keep making games!
Super polished. Loved the gameplay. Simple puzzles, but can be deceptively complicated too! Nice basic design that is also very tasteful. Super juicy sounds that make it very satisfying to play! Well done!!!
Check out my game if you get a chance 😊.
I really liked the whole style of the game! The minimal audio was very well done. The arcade mode was quite tough with the limited lives, so I was glad to have the option for free play to try out all of the levels. Even so, the difficulty was quite high, but I had a ton of fun with it anyway. Congrats on your first game, great job!
I loved the audio so much! The transitions were so good as well. Such an easy concept but I couldn't put it down. The bounce off the walls is very punishing but it was still so addictive, I didn't want to give up hahaha! Great job and congrats on your first game!
Hard game, but really cool. I like it. I couldn't finish all levels, sorry:) For the first game it's very nice level
Loved the transitions between the levels! I admit though that I only made it to level 2. I feel like there was a massive difficulty spike. I was trying to carefully tilt the table to avoid the giant pit in the centre only to realize there was a time limit. I don't mind hazards but I feel it would have been better if the pits start off smaller and more easily avoidable and then when the player gets the hang of things, then there could be bigger traps. On the other hand, I could just have a lot of difficulty with stuff like this. It might be that this is quite easy for another person.
I definitely underestimated how touchy and difficult the controls would be to pick up for someone just casually stopping by to check it out. Thank you for checking it out :)
Very interesting game, the theme is implemented perfectly. Great game :D
In my opinion, the idea fits the theme perfectly. The game is really well done—even though I found it a bit difficult, I think it's an interesting game. I hope you keep working on it!
