Great idea! really original. The controls feel really tight and the game is pretty hard! Good job.

khaos_fang 2016-12-14 01:43

Very interesting idea. When the ball hit near the corner and change color, it will give player no time to react.

mooncalf 2016-12-14 03:26

Great concept. Looks great, feels great. I would have really like to be able to scroll colors with my mouse wheel.

korvexx 2016-12-14 11:04

What a cool idea for a game! Would love to see this idea developed further. This would be a good way for people to practice FPS if they've never played one. Good work!

Great game, I also played with a bounce mecahnic in my (2D) game as well. I agree with Khaoz_Fang, there should be a delay to give the player time to react to the quick color change and bounce. the combination of both back and forth almost impossible at times.

kleinzach 2016-12-15 01:09

I like the idea, but I have a few problems which i'm running into. First the ball keeps going right into an edge, meaning there is no time to react before it hits the second wall. Also, in tense situations its very hard to rememeber which key switches to which color.

bonedaddy 2016-12-15 01:12

The right mouse button to focus you on the ball is really interesting, I don't think I've seen that before. I find switching colours difficult with 1,2,3. I think right mouse button or the mouse wheel would be a better spot.

Really great concept, and I think if I could switch guns faster I'd love it.

awesomerex 2016-12-15 01:16

Really slick game. Sometimes the ball goes in the corner and it's impossible to have enough time to change the color. This is a really complete package.

abezuska 2016-12-15 01:18

Very cool, I love the feel the music and sound fits well. The game mechanics themselves make this stand out..

ambocclusion 2016-12-15 01:27

Great and fun game! Super challenging!

sundr0 2016-12-15 01:51

The concept is original and fun to play but switching color with those buttons seems to abort some of the fun we can get ! Maybe look for a different method to change colors ! But still is good and 10/10 would play again soon :D

Thanks, everyone. We are loving the feedback!

About the wall corners, you have to use the colors indicator on the bottom right of the screen. The big one one is the current ball color and the small one is the next color the ball will be. You always have to think ahead... and practice a little bit. But yeah, we run out of time to improve the HUD. It could be so much better.

About the color changing keys, any idea on how to do it differently?

Thanks again!

mementogames 2016-12-15 13:07

Ops, the indicators are at the bottom left corner, not bottom right.

pietro-ferrantelli 2016-12-17 01:08

Great concept, looks super ambitious for a jam game. This is really interesting and challenging in a good way. Controls feels smooth, i really enjoyed it.

liquidmedia 2016-12-17 18:42

Awesome game good controls and tough to get good at it.

acuadoystudios 2016-12-17 19:08

Hey I liked your game it was actually fun.
And pls go and try out my game!

captain-awesome 2016-12-17 19:10

I enjoyed this game a lot.

mrjoshuamclean 2016-12-17 19:12

Pretty nifty. Solid controls. Wish I could invert the mouse (am I the only one left who prefers that?). Otherwise, great concept and solid execution. :)

acuadoystudios 2016-12-17 20:19

Nice game and thanks for your feed back.
I had not that much time this year because I wrote 2 class tests the week afterwards.
If the time fits with my schedule I'm in next Ludum dare as well.

jayprog 2016-12-17 20:31

Solid controls and fun idea. Well executed. I don't think you need the delay that others are suggesting since you show the next two colors. It's just a matter of planning ahead.

I would suggest you center the color prompt in the screen so it's always in the players peripheral vision.

archonthewizard 2016-12-17 20:38

Fun game. Really cool concept. Sometimes I had almost no time to react, but with some tuning it could be really awesome.

fafastudio 2016-12-17 23:30

Look really good but i can't change gun color on my macbook and i don't know what input change...

mementogames 2016-12-17 23:35

@fafastudio The keys are '1' '2' '3', but you press them and nothing happens?

justinmullin 2016-12-18 02:56

Cool idea, and nice implementation. I got pretty frustrated about collisions with edges/corners where there's literally no opportunity to see what colors you're going to need, but I enjoyed this.

mr-chippy 2016-12-18 03:09

It was a creative idea. The art was really nice. It was a lot of fun. Good job. :D

miggygman 2016-12-18 05:26

Very interesting take on the theme. Good job!

fuad 2016-12-18 19:18

Perfect! Interesting idea, FPS, good gameplay and smooth interface all in 72 hours. Awesome!

rixud 2016-12-18 20:00

i really like it, a little feedback maybe Mouse Wheel for change color will make it more enjoyable .. although is a 10/10 for me ...

jaycee23 2016-12-18 20:07

Cool game. It seems a bit slow at times, though. Nothing really stops me from just painting every wall the ball's colour

split82 2016-12-18 20:16

Nice idea and well implemented too. It would be maybe good to see the trajectory of the ball. Anyway very nice entry.

powerspark 2016-12-18 21:13

Nice idea! It was nice to have time to think, I'm glad it was difficult but not ridiculously hard.

thedashdude 2016-12-18 21:18

Shockingly fun. At first I thought the idea was kind of stupid but that was a blast. I liked the changing of the room after each wave. I think using 1-3 to choose colors was pretty clunky, I would recommend using the scroll wheel or maybe right click to cycle through colors.

kamranwali 2016-12-18 21:19

Wow! This is a fantastic game! Well made and so nicely polished. I loved to so much. I see good potential in the game. It was so fun playing it. You should continue making it. Overall a fun game to play. Keep it up!

ajayajayaj 2016-12-19 00:47

Really cool idea. I like the Bob Ross like comment at the end haha. I wish it easier to switch between colours. That really made it annoying for me.

ecustmj055 2016-12-20 10:55

Interesting idea! I have never played such a fun game in this LD!!!I love the game so much!

tkachov 2016-12-21 07:05

Nice! Though I think gun's bullets should be faster (probably instantly changing wall's color), as sometimes with these bullets you just can't change the color in time. It's also a bit difficult when ball is bouncing really close to the edge, meaning there is almost no time for player to react.

geckoo1337 2016-12-22 07:15

Cool concept which could be improved. When the ball hit near the corner, I have no time to react. However, great project. Well done ++

p4nurge 2016-12-22 11:38

Okay, I was terrible at this! I kept forgetting which key was which colour and getting confused between the next ball colour and the colour of my gun etc. There's quite a lot to take in and I don't do well under pressure!

However, that's all my problem, not yours. :) I did have fun playing and I really admired the concept, the controls and the style. Great work!

paveldlouhy 2016-12-25 10:28

Pretty challenging game! Nice combination of gfx, sfx and music. Good job!

wowa_u 2016-12-26 09:24

Pretty cool concept and it's fun to play. But sometimes it's a bit too hard, especially to react if the ball is in the corner.

jupiter_hadley 2017-01-21 20:20

Fun little game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/9xy3qMJx7GQ
