This is my first ever game jam and I really enjoyed it. Just glad to get something finished and be part of the community. I can see this becoming an addiction.

Fixed a win condition bug, uploading new version now.

I tried real hard but I couldn't master the bounce.

I like the idea and innvation. Sadly the controls don't seem to work very well (rotating stops the bean mid-air and seems really strange). Other than that, well done!

Cool concept, but a bit unforgiving at the start for me.

The idea is really nice, but I don't like controls that much, especially the rotation which freezes the bean while bouncing. Anyway great idea!

Entertaining game, little on the tough side

Thanks and taken on board. My idea for the freezing while rotating is that the game gets faster and stopping the bean allows you to line on the angle you want better. I just had an idea, what if normal rotation doesn't freeze the bean and you have the ability to enter 'bean time'? Perhaps have a bar that drains whilst using said ability.

The game is pretty difficult! :P I like the gameplay a lot though, it's both simple and very addictive. Nice use of theme as well, the bean looks like an untextured standard cylinder, +1. I couldn't get past the first slope under the red ceiling, I tried going over and under but couldn't make it.

Liked the game, kind of unplayable with a Magic Mouse though :P

It's very difficult

Like the idea! Its quite slow though - up the gravity a little maybe? You can get stuck easily if you have no speed too :(

I agree with some of the comments - the idea and innovation here are great, and it is a bit too hard! But I do actually kind of like the right-click 'pause' ability. I just wish i could spin it one way or another, not just one direction.

Love the concept of 'Bean Time'.

fenludum 2013-04-30 05:24

@deathray, I did have it so you could spin both ways but then I minimalised it to one.

Now that's an original game! Instead of the mouse I think the keyboard would control it better.

Played it on the Relax Stream. Hard as heck. Don't let go of the mouse for the bounce like I thought originally.

Maybe right clicking could rotate the bean in the other direction?
