Very good game, even though I was dumb enough to play it using the keyboard.
Controller is a must for the joystick!
Really simple yet effective art style. Amazing spin (hehe) on an air hockey game. Really cool.
If only I had another xbox controller to play with someone else.
Wow, that's pretty awesome. Still fun on a keyboard.
Bacon Blade's a cool name... The Game is pretty nice.
Not bad, but multiplayer LD games are difficult to rate properly. Plus keyboard controls were far more awkward than they needed to be. Keyboard and joystick don't need to control the same way.
Cool game, definitely needs a controller though, I suppose mouse controls could have been created, but it would have been way less fun and challenging. Good work!
Sorry about the control issue. We wanted to do mouse control but ran out of time. Thanks for the comments guys!
Good game, though super hard to play on a keyboard. The AI was pretty easy to beat (once you got the puck on his side, the AI would usually shoot the puck such that it would bounce right back and hit his own turret).
Nice take on a classic! Defense seemed to be the best 1 player strategy. Sooner or later the AI would smash itself with the puck.
I lost 10-02. I'm doing something wrong or it's a bit difficult? xD
but yeah, coll concept, good made.
I like this, but even on a pad the controls are kind of unintuitive. I was expecting to rotate the turret with just the y-axis (i.e. up=rotate left, down=rotate right). It took me a while to work out that the turret's direction actually matches the stick's direction.
I found the controls very hard to use with keyboard. Precision aiming would be better I think, or I should have used a joystick. I was only playing single player, and could not get a point for the life of me. I liked the music and sound effects. Interesting take on air hockey, too.
I definitely agree that bacon blade is an AWESOME name! I had to use keyboard, but I can see how fun it'd be with a 360 controller and rated it accordingly :)
The shattering cannon is great, too, btw!
Nice! AI was way to hard haha, it tracked the puck non-stop! But it's a novel idea, nice slick art, and a really nice feel overall. Great job!
This was pretty fun! Great concept! Either I suck, or you made some decent aiming AI :P Great work.
What an interesting idea. It's a new twist on the hokey games.
I played it with a controller.
The AI is pretty good. I'm sure it would be more fun with someone else. Great game!
nice job, pretty cool idea!
Awesome !
Great job !
Nice. A little bit long the charge time..
