Very cool and well done! Aesthetically pleasing, nice music and solid gameplay.

Can't wait for Love2D version, as this one sometimes crashes :(

goutye 2015-12-15 02:51

Thanks dos. I just release the Löve2D version. Everyone can now play at 60 FPS without any crashes. The web version is still available because sometimes you can play at 30 FPS without crashes. (On 5 computers, 2 were fine, 3 got crashes)

So, if you can't play with the Web version, please play the Löve2D version :)

Nice job! I wish there was a better explanation, but this was a nice game! I love the style!

I was able to beat it even on the web version. Sometimes the "Boost" or "Heavy" labels would get stuck in the middle of the screen though, with me unable to activate the power.

I never noticed the "Corruption" or "Repulse" powers, though sometimes the screen went wavy.

Pretty cool, the minimalist look definitely suits the game well. Audio is a bit too simple, would've been nice if it was something with more ambiance.

I like the look of the game. I was a little confused at the beginning but I caught on.

Cool idea!
Needed a help at the beggining, but overall great job!

Just lost in the 1/2 final round. Had a lot of fun in there. Was on the top of the leaderboard for a long time, but those pink bubbles got me in the end.

I would like to say "Never lucky!" Ahah! Thanks for the feedback!

danidre14 2015-12-16 16:45

Really nice game! Lot's of objectives, and a main one to win.

Some few bugs, like there was a third small guy frozen for the rest of the rounds while the two of us battled it out. How many rounds is the final round, thoough? I went through about 8 final rounds before losing.

But that aside, it's still fun, like the mechanics, and physics involved.

goutye 2015-12-16 21:22

Danidre14: Ouh. That was a bug indeed. Normally there is only one Final Round. However, the frozen third guy did this bug. Really sorry about it, I will check it out. It might happen in a special case of events. Thank you for the feedback!

I'm still not really sure what I am supposed to do...

sience 2015-12-16 23:16

Welcome LÖVER :). Nice minimalistic art style and a new idea!

One bug. "src/rounds/Round2.lua:206 'name' -> nil

sience 2015-12-16 23:24

Btw. I just played your LD32 game. Thats the best!!!

goutye 2015-12-16 23:41

Oh I messed up a bit I guess! Definitely linked to the danidre14's bug. Thank you for the feedback!
Oh, even played my LD32 game? Thanks! That's making me happy. Btw, I'm not really proud of the graphics of my LD32 ahah! I prefer this one! Thank you again!

Very nice games and good mechanics!
Congratulations!

mukult 2015-12-18 21:54

good gameplay... love the mood!!

cakemonitor 2015-12-19 23:53

Nice use of the theme. Fun but maybe a bit too easy. Also it glitched a little in the corners in the final rounds. Still good overall though :)

thristhart 2015-12-22 01:05

I managed to knock the first place bubble into the corner and out of the arena in the final round and thus took my undeserved victory! haha!

goutye 2015-12-23 02:34

Thanks for playing! Indeed, it's one of the possibilities to get rid of your opponents. With too much pressure, the balls can be ejected of the arena. I'm usually ejecting two or three opponents during the middle rounds. But at the end, it's really complicated because the "Corruption" is applied to the biggest bubble, and if it's you, your power is drained by the other player. However you did manage to eject it at the final round, so, wow. Well played!

I like the look of the game. I was a little confused at the beginning but I caught on. Neat ++

anv 2016-01-03 19:44

Few different mechanics + challenging AI (they always blocked me from getting blue spheres). Overall, very nice.

lereveur 2016-01-03 20:25

Didn't totally understand what I was doing, but it was entertaining, so : well done. :)
