Great graphics, nice job as for JAM, I would like to give you overall 5/5, however it has nothing to do with the topic.

mekuri 2014-12-09 02:05

I know- I really did struggle with the Theme for 3D - I made my "menu screen" as an interpretation of the theme, sort of not to entirely ignore it :-)

gafblizzard 2014-12-09 02:51

This was amusing and I liked the music. I only found one way to launch the coin at high speed though -- flipping it into the POW poster. Was there some other way to get high speed that I missed?

Also, hooray for snowman!

This was built on a pretty hilarious concept, nice job. If I ever need to toss a coin I'll be sure to come here.

mekuri 2014-12-09 06:59

@GAFBlizzard: You're spot on! It was the only "high speed" object. The kitchen sponges have a similar effect, but nowhere near the same speed. - I'm glad you liked the music, I made it with Punk-O-Matic.

@SpartanIceCream: I'm glad you like it! Feel free to do all the tossing you like :-)

HAHA! this is cool! I really enjoyed it, great job with the camera following loved it

thristhart 2014-12-09 17:59

Wonderful graphics! The theme interpretation just reflects how bad the theme was, IMO. Funny concept, and I was pretty amused by the instruction sheet on the door.

jellycakes 2014-12-09 20:21

Surprisingly addictive. Great job!

leaghorn 2014-12-09 20:23

heh... good idea. Coin doesnt have any friction though which looks kinda silly when it slides on the floor

gnutek 2014-12-09 20:25

Funny :) Also I got an "edge" on a toss, but didn't get bazillion points for that - disappointed ;) http://imgur.com/dCw600K

Coin Toss Simulator 2016 cant get here fast enough! nuff said :D seriously, this looks great and was a lot of fun to play. And that music lol, I remember that tool :P As a Unity-user myself I was really impressed. Great game.

oh_andrej 2014-12-09 20:30

I had more fun with this than I should have had...graphics and music are great and I like how the camera tracks the coin. Also, it was really satisfying to see that the POW poster wasn't just for decoration :D Impressive work, thank you!

gquibao 2014-12-09 22:00

Awesome game!! One of the most fun I've played so far. Congratulations

rodobodolfo 2014-12-09 22:00

Addictive!

boracho 2014-12-09 22:02

Fun stuff. Is that Punk-O-Matic music I hear? this is something I could see wasting an inordinate amount of hours playing. graphics are nice (considering the short time to work on them) and the game mechanics are pretty solid. Bonus points for snowman, haha.

meral 2014-12-09 22:10

The first thing you have to do when playing this is pressing 'm'.

I love the physics on the lamp and the destructibility. The dishes are score-wise a bit overkill though. Nice touch with the pow painting. Too bad you can't know the snowman down. The intro sequence is interesting but seems a bit misplaced. Having the controls as a note on the door is a nice touch.

It's hard to make a precise throw. The flight path seems to be quite plausible tough.

thingostudios 2014-12-09 22:10

It took me a while to figure out the coin toss physics, but once I did I enjoyed it. Was the silver coin heavier than the gold one? I thought it was, but I might just suck at this.

crazyrems 2014-12-09 22:20

I want to toss so much coins, and break the world with them !
A nice rendition of what a coin toss simulator could be.
You should definitely enable by default the music, it is so epic !

selfishgenome 2014-12-10 08:51

Some of the best sound effects I have heard so far. Also loved the surprise, I thought I was aiming to get a coin in a glass, when I finally got on target, the coin annihilated them all... Awesome

uvwar 2014-12-10 15:27

I wish the coin would flip maybe 100x faster so the physics could get really wild, and there was more stuff to break, but a fun idea and a cool start if you decided to take it further!

pjimmy 2014-12-10 15:53

interesting, very original concept, the graphics are great.

leaden 2014-12-10 16:39

This game can be in one row with Goat Simulator and Surgeon Simulator!

job_ 2014-12-10 16:59

Great graphics, little theme(thought a reference, and the theme was hard), hours of fun(this is hilarious).
Awesome submission!

domicuc 2014-12-10 17:19

Man.. XD i dont like too much unity.. but you show us you are really creative man! +100 points good work,like this game! Also check my project if you have some time,mate! :)

liamlime 2014-12-10 17:25

NOOOOOOOO I landed a shot STRAIGHT AT the snowman and it went through him. Maaaaaann... Considering you can break all the things in the room, I hoped the snowman would fall apart too! D:

Otherwise a great game, so happy you added the secret destructible things :D Managed to break a glass too.

mortus 2014-12-10 19:33

I like the mood of this game a lot, it makes me want to destroy stuff! Why did you disable the music by default though? It sounds very nice. It's just too bad there's not much to destroy in that room and I also wish the coin was unreasonably heavy and bouncy, so you can perform combos.

mekuri 2014-12-10 19:56

Hey people! Thanks a lot for all your feedback, I am really happy that you like it! I did put a lot of thought into this and I am definitely planning on taking this game further. I have tons of ideas :-)
I'm glad you liked the music, I wasn't sure it was too rough much for some people, thus I chose to leave it off as default.
I will definitely also check out your game Domicuc- That goes for all of you- I usually go through the comments and play people's games at some point :-)
Again thanks for all the feedback- It is really appreciated.

infectionteam 2014-12-10 20:10

I could amuse myself for hours playing this if there was more destruction!

javadocmd 2014-12-10 20:56

Hey I know that hex tile texture. :D Cute idea and pretty entertaining for its simplicity.

geckoo1337 2014-12-10 23:09

Deeeestruction :)
Cool mecanics and physics. I ilke opportunity which is offer by this game. Of course, it can be improved, but it is good enough. Well done ++

lereveur 2014-12-11 23:14

Very nice job, good physics and graphics, have played until get 2500+, it's not so much but I played longer than some other entries, so well done. Hope you'll get a good average rate, you have a good rate from me, at least. :D

garethiw 2014-12-12 13:04

This was really good! Just needs more things to destroy!

donovanwu 2014-12-14 07:00

The best I did is a wine bottle plus two glass cups. It's kind of hard but a very fun game with nice physics! I also like the title screen LOL

mrbadivan 2014-12-14 13:36

It was fun to play, nice theme entry =)

sk16games 2014-12-14 17:00

Hahaha very fun game! :D it hasn't a lot to do with the theme, but it's just hilarious to destroy things with a coin! Good job!

asobitech 2014-12-16 16:27

Great mindless time wasting fun.

xanjos 2014-12-17 02:10

Very loose interpretation of the theme (and I mean very loose) but the concept is good. Also destroying things with just a coin is actually pretty funny.

taro 2014-12-19 23:16

"I can't make heads or tails out of this."

In all seriousness, the POW block is worth millions of coins.

hundredhundred 2014-12-21 11:04

awesome job that is one powerful coin able to break glasses by a flick :D.
Would be awesome see you implement movement in the game rather than the changing perspective also a better indication of the how the arrow works(i didn't quite understand the aiming ui) overall great entry :D

voider 2014-12-21 14:38

nice game, great idea, but I don't see the relation with the theme (I see the start game thing as a "trick" to the theme haha)

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-23 04:17

Love the snowman outside, really cool coin toss game! I Included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/fGRz-9CpOIg

lynx 2014-12-27 02:02

Very humorous game! I wish I could walk around for better angles and that there were more things on the table, since the dishes were the only real multiplier worthy location.

Overall, you got me to play a game about flipping coins on a floppy drive and freaking out over that ticking timer! That in itself is a sign of a great game! Well done.

zi 2014-12-30 00:21

I didn't really understand what was happening, but it made me chuckle a little. :D It would've been really cool if you simply kept the computer scene at the beginning, and played the game by actually clicking on the mouse on the table. But I understand this is probably due to the render-texture restriction of the free version of Unity.

rojo 2014-12-30 00:58

Surprisingly fun! I think the connection to the theme would have been stronger if you had to play while looking at the one screen, but that's a minor thing. Also, I think it would have been cool to not just destroy things, but to try and land the coin inside of objects as well for points. Solid entry overall, though!
