i think that a real tiny world is one that can be used to play ping pong or golf....

I found this game oddly enjoyable.

stromchin 2012-04-23 08:43

Thanks matt, I've taken a great deal of time just adjusting the bounciness and size of the basket, and the force at which you can shoot, and the randomness added to make the difficulty like it ended, and I think it's perfect. What did you think of the difficulty?
Maybe I will remove a little bit of random though, but nothing else

This would be great as a Wario Ware style mini game. Had fun with the simple but difficult to perfect mechanics. Directional audio was a curious touch.

the8donut 2012-04-23 09:58

It may lack of polish, but I have to say it's really fun! :)

bezza 2012-04-23 10:08

Simple yet very enjoyable. Nice one!

true-valhalla 2012-04-23 10:37

Was kind of satisfying! Not sure if the theme integration was too strong but who cares, I have a combo to top! Good job.

bei 2012-04-23 10:45

Cool game! Would be cool if you had a limited number of shots, say 20, then you could set high scores. None the less, addictive little game!

drzool 2012-04-23 10:46

Neat! Good minigame. Nice net physics.

bei 2012-04-23 10:46

P.S The physics were pretty much spot on. The way the ball moves off the ring, and the way the net affects the flight of the ball are awesome!

stromchin 2012-04-23 10:52

@Bei: yes, basically that'S what I meant by "lack of polish"
not just in the sense of graphics. I've thought of many game modes, but I didn't have time to implement them. I will in the future though.

@everyone else: thanks for playing!

Simple but highly enjoyable!

davidllanos22 2012-04-23 12:07

Very addictive!

yanmania 2012-04-23 12:07

Thats really addictive!

oddgoo 2012-04-23 12:36

I played this for far longer than I should have...

parthon 2012-04-23 12:42

That was pretty cool for a short game. :D

ifred_qc 2012-04-23 14:00

Got up to 9 combo. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52854878/Basket9.png

papygaragos 2012-04-23 14:02

The kind of game you can play during 20minutes without noticing.

mikesoylu 2012-04-23 14:17

Haha! I love how "literal" this game is :D good job

stromchin 2012-04-23 14:35

@iFred_QC> yeah, it's pretty hard to hit 9, but then, hitting 10 is really really hard. I've never gotten it past 10.
And I've played it a lot myself.

toast 2012-04-23 14:38

Haha, well I've seen this type of game before, but the use of theme is pretty hilarious.

pierrec 2012-04-23 14:51

Well...it's as boring as it is fun (I'm not sure what does it mean...)

arhpositive 2012-04-23 19:20

small scope but still a decent game nonetheless.

karnak 2012-04-23 21:56

What a concept! You created a sports game in a theme where everyone was dealing with micro management games :)

Note: Since this is a Compo entry, you have to provide the source code. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/rules/

stromchin 2012-04-23 22:22

@karnakgames> yes! I changed the links to put everything under "web (unity)" and also removed the source by accident.
it's been here almost the whole time. Thanks for reminding me.

And well, I was also planning on making some kind of adventure/shooter with small planets, and then I panicked cause I thought I wasn't going to have time.
I also realized my limitations when it comes to graphics, so I decided to make something with more physics and almost no graphics.

ben 2012-04-24 18:34

Amazing. One of the best games I've played on here

angerus 2012-04-25 13:06

Well, even it's seem to me that you're are not in the theme, I find your game fun ! And that's what a game have to be!

blackdogg 2012-04-27 20:33

Too bad it don't seems to fit with the theme for me, but I really enjoyed the combination of a one click/button gameplay with a sport theme. I would LOVE to see it in some kind of full version with multiple sports, better graphics, etc !

mrbarnslig 2012-05-04 05:20

I think you have something here. If you wanted to extend the gameplay maybe you could have different challenges with different distances/heights of baskets for different levels, and only a limited number of shots. Nice job!
