Wow! Superfun game, and innovative as well, it's a wee bit hard though, seems like there's no thought where the ghosts appear in relation to the coins, so you die a bit to early, perhaps reset lives when you clear a level? Love the graphics and the audio! Great job!

@sawtan thanks for your comment! Thought? Ha, no, there is not. :) It's all random for now.

Took me a minute to figure out the movement, but it was still fun. Good game.

rob 2016-12-12 21:16

Love the music.

geckoo1337 2016-12-12 21:23

Really good game with a clever gameplay. Minimalist but addictive - and I had fun playing it. However the soundtrack is a little bit annoying. Overall, it is good. Well done ++

The embedded game freaks out a bit in my browser window, but it's remedied if I go fullscreen. A fun concept, I could see myself playing a mobile version of this.

At first I thought you had to wait until the ball stopped totally before being able to move it again, but once I figured out you could move the ball all the time the game became more dynamic and fun.
Some nice sound effects here, even though I'm not a huge fan of the music.
Anyway, nicely done !

Music was awesome, the idea was allright, but maybe with more time you could make it a little bit more interesting.
Nice effort !

Did you make that music in the 48 hour period? It's fantastic! Other than that the game is pretty cool. The only problem I had was that often when starting the next level there would a ghost at the start point and I would immediately be hit and lose a life unfairly.

Also as a small note, I'm very happy with the small note, making the arrow to shoot alternate the rotation direction made it much easier it make controlled movement faster. It is much appreciated.

This could be a start to a pretty fun mobile game

erikiene 2016-12-12 22:03

Catchy song!

kaiseangames 2016-12-13 18:12

Cool idea. Rotation is somewhat unpredictable, but the idea could be expanded on into a really nice game. :) Well done.

skorpyo 2016-12-13 18:14

Pretty chalenging, but i like it :)

harusame 2016-12-13 18:34

Wtf the music ? You make it during the 48h?
The game is fun ^^ nice idea.
Good job ! I like it.

yami-no-tenshi 2016-12-13 20:56

Nice idea and interesting music XD

But some situations were impossible with ghost surrounding me ^^'

hunttis 2016-12-14 13:26

The music was a big surprise, did you make it? :-o It could've been a bit longer, but nice work!

The controls were a bit hard, and the instructions were a bit hard to read at the start of the game (maybe if the font had an outline or a shadow or something?), but the game was on the fresher side, even if really difficult :D

dustoutgames 2016-12-14 20:46

Loved the music in this game! It set a really cool mood and the game itself was simple, but clever. It was fun and I appreciated having more than one life!

teamscripta 2016-12-14 20:50

Nice twist on a classic game! Innovative controlls.

casevse 2016-12-14 21:22

Interesting movement mechanic, keep polishing it!

paulloz 2016-12-14 21:27

Seems that your game doesn't work in Firefox :/
Your idea is cool and the game is both playable and enjoyable. Seriously where does this music come from? x)
Anyway, good entry.

sapoi 2016-12-14 21:30

Fun game, it has a really interesing navigation system!

wildebeest-studio 2016-12-14 21:34

Great game ! I like the fact that the time it takes me to realise that i pressed the button at the wrong moment makes me rush faster into the ghost haha

volcanicgiraffe 2016-12-14 22:11

I like the mechanics and overall gameplay. I think levels could be bigger, and also sometimes ghost appeared very close to coin.

jotson 2016-12-15 05:33

Interesting game... tighten up the controls (and change the music) and you may have something worth taking further.

wdebowicz 2016-12-15 21:16

wow, the mechanism was so simple but so funny to use, good work!

josearias 2016-12-15 21:17

That music! very surprising hahaha

I enjoyed a lot the mechanics. Not very complicated but challenging. A great pacman concept

stending 2016-12-15 21:19

Amazing audio!
Pretty innovative gameplay ^^

Congratulations on the entry, it's pretty cool for a first!

thehighchairs 2016-12-15 21:20

Neat little game. Well done on your first Ludum Dare!

mat4dor 2016-12-15 21:25

Very interesting! One thing that would be great for the random generation, would be to make sure there is a clear path between the coins.

drludos 2016-12-16 14:09

Great game, I love it! It simple to pick up but quite fun and challenging to play!
Also, the audio is incredible, thanks for making us discover the incredibox tool! :)

kevinworkman 2016-12-25 03:30

I like the idea here, but this was a little hard to play. Maybe try ramping up the difficulty gradually as the player gets used to what's going on?

loveapplegames 2016-12-25 17:41

Very original entry! Overall well done. Relying purely on timing to shoot the ball is a little frustrating though. Collision is a little dodgy.

quadtree 2017-01-01 22:51

Interesting control scheme. The way the levels are generated sometimes makes losing lives inevitable, though.
