I was certainly intrigued, but I couldn't figure out the controls. I never got past the 1st area (which I presume is possible given the screenshots). Missing something?

Was the Kinect working?

I don't have a kinect so I can't play this but wanted to tell you I really love the concept and would like to try it out. Seems really cool.

Can't play (no kinect) but props for doing that!

It looks cool and I can't wait to try it! I just have to get around to connecting the Kinect to my PC I guess..

Hey, great concept! I've already worked with Zigfu + Unity before on my computer, so I'm not a reference to tell if the package. But I can tell it works with Kinect for PC as well... hehe

This looks really neat from the video. I don't have a Kinect, so I can't play it.
I like the drawing of the character too. Nice work.

I love the idea. Sadly the relationship between my connect and my room is poor on a good day when connected to a 360.

Wasn't able to play, but rated based on the video. Cool idea and great style.

Interesting...

I could not fully rate due to not having the requisite hardware/adapter to connect our Kinect to a PC, but I did rate in some categories (eg theme) that I could tell from the video. From watching it and playing similar Kinect games, isn't it a bit odd watching the balls move away from you instead of watching them move toward you?

pinothefrog 2013-04-30 01:38

@Spiridios haha yeah, I guess it is. I just decided to start with a mirror image of the player, I guess because it is about the player's body. But it definitely adds to the difficulty, since if the player were deflecting balls coming from the other direction, they'd probably see them coming from farther off. Interesting point!

New thing!but a little weird

cybearg 2013-04-30 03:58

Finally, a game that gives me boobs!

gre 2013-05-01 12:05

Nice art, a bit macabre but fun :D

davidemo89 2013-05-02 21:38

What the hell is this? A penis? Tits? O.O
+1 for using kinect =)

rubapi 2013-05-04 15:38

this is really crazy, but in a good way. I have no kinect but I congratulate you on the concept

hd408 2013-05-06 00:48

At first, I was like "Just what IS that thing?". Then, I remembered I have no Kinect. The concept is interesting, but apparently I couldn't rate what I couldn't control. Good luck.

martianwatts 2013-05-10 06:27

I like the idea, it's weird and was difficult to test it

f7f5 2013-05-10 22:35

Can't rate it - I don't have Kinetic. But nice to see an original idea!

sebastian 2013-05-14 19:54

This is quite hilarious!

omaha 2013-05-15 04:32

Sure wish I had a kinect right now. Thanks for the video. Nice work.

jesse111 2013-05-21 00:42

I can't fairly give this a star rating, due to not owning a Kinect, but I want to say congratulations on working in an uncommon medium. I hope enough Kinect users give it a try to give you your due!
Cheers!
