Nice little game, I got 1010 points :).

srabatata 2017-12-05 03:05

@xwilarg thanks!!

caleb 2017-12-05 05:29

With more polish, a concept like this can become a good little mobile app. Very simple and intuitive with a clear play session length is a great combination for a mobile game!

I'd suggest a mute button though :)

daul 2017-12-05 05:29

Cute little game, but I had to mute the sound after a couple minutes. It may be beneficial to have a longer loop for your music.

disperse 2017-12-05 05:31

Only 780 here... Nice job.

srabatata 2017-12-05 05:32

@caleb hahahah thanks a lot for the review and the tips!

srabatata 2017-12-05 05:34

@daul thanks! I'll definetely try this in the next time :)

thy-duck 2017-12-05 05:34

Love the concept, made it into a fun game, nice job!

regularjohn4 2017-12-05 05:35

Oh hey, cute idea, I like it.

srabatata 2017-12-05 05:36

@disperse good! :joy: :joy: thanks!

danman113 2017-12-05 05:36

Surprise hit of the day

Wow I really didn't expect to enjoy this game as much as I did. The graphics are nothing special but man is the game fun. It also fits the theme perfectly!

srabatata 2017-12-05 05:47

@thy-duck thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it =)

srabatata 2017-12-05 05:48

@regularjohn4 hey ho, thanks!! :joy:

srabatata 2017-12-05 05:50

@danman113 oh my, we are speechless. we are very glad all of you are enjoying it and having fun! Thank you so much for your words, it means a lot for us =)

stix 2017-12-05 07:14

ahahaha we did a tennis game too! awesome :D!

fireslash 2017-12-05 07:26

It looks like the racket still applies an upward impulse even when you hit a ball from below.

This is probably a flash limitation, but I wish the mouse was captured. The racket going dead when the mouse exits the window is super frustrating.

srabatata 2017-12-05 07:35

@fireslash thanks for your feedback, we will improve this in a future version :slight_smile:

srabatata 2017-12-05 07:37

@stix awesome! we are tennis buddies! :joy: :joy:

Good use of the theme. It would be amusing if you had a mode whee you just cower in fear at all of the tennis balls hurtling at you.

fussenkuh 2017-12-06 03:17

920 for me! Good work on your first physics game. I'd say it met the theme rather nicely and it was easy to figure out. That said, for me, I found the music a bit annoying after it looped a few times. Though I did like the ball hitting sounds Overall, nice job!

srabatata 2017-12-06 05:13

@badly-drawn-rod oh man I liked your idea :joy: thank you so much for the feedback!

srabatata 2017-12-06 05:14

@fussenkuh thank you very much! Yeah the sound was a very challenging and fun part. we will work harder in the music in the next time :smiley:

landosystems 2017-12-06 06:31

More fun than I expected it to be. Got 700 points first time around. Nice work!

srabatata 2017-12-06 06:43

@landosystems Great, we're glad you liked it! Thanks! :smiley:

baby-dino-herd 2017-12-06 06:45

Really cute game! I think the graphics and audio really went well together to create a nice 'lo-fi' aesthetic. Game was fun, although I didn't get the high scores of some of the other posters. Wasn't sure exactly what changing the racket side did; a little more feedback on that would have been helpful. Well done! :tennis:

srabatata 2017-12-06 07:02

@baby-dino-herd Thanks for your feedback! I honestly don't know how some people got so high scores either, it's impressing :joy: We're very glad you liked it :smiley:

sidewalksleeper 2017-12-06 09:03

A cute little game with a surprising sense of escalation. I wish it controlled better, though. But nice job regardless!

erd0s 2017-12-06 11:29

hehe surprisingly satisfying, i had fun, nice work!

wrexialmt 2017-12-06 12:39

Cool little game, got 930, I didn't understand what switching the racket would do except the direction the ball is going to be thrown back.

howardcs 2017-12-06 15:48

I was playing perfectly and then it all went horribly wrong! 720 points. Simple yet fun game. Great job.

themadstrauss 2017-12-06 19:28

Great game! At the beginning was easy but after a while so many balls started to drop! Very fun!

sylver-kovy 2017-12-06 20:37

Nice Game, very fun and fits with the theme.

srabatata 2017-12-08 05:28

@sidewalksleeper Glad you had fun, thank you ! We'll improve it in future versions :smiley:

srabatata 2017-12-08 05:29

srabatata 2017-12-08 05:38

@erd0s so good that you had fun! thank's a lot :smiley:

gatinmnsok 2017-12-08 09:02

In the beginning you think it will be easy. Then all the balls come and they bounce against eachother and you can't clear them in time and 890 points. Funny game.

swagdorf 2017-12-08 09:02

Genuinely fun game! There was a bit of delay with the racket that was a little awkward but otherwise this could be a great mobile game!

traak 2017-12-08 10:11

Wow

eraleis 2017-12-08 10:22

I feel like the hitboxes are not quite where they should be, but it's a fun little game that i enjoyed playing :)

lapapagena 2017-12-08 19:29

This was fun!

srabatata 2017-12-11 05:21

@lapapagena nice to know, thank you! :smiley:

fylipp 2017-12-11 11:11

Nice game. Maybe you could have added some more complex mechanics. I scored 1030 on my first try :)

Score

marco 2017-12-11 11:17

Cool game. Got a score of 2660 with touchpad

aemiliu5 2017-12-12 09:31

fun little game!

cayleblucas 2017-12-16 09:15

Really enjoyable game, well executed too :)

srabatata 2017-12-18 06:07

@aemiliu5 thank you! :smiley:

srabatata 2017-12-18 06:09

@cayleblucas thanks for the feedback! :smiley:

tinis-games 2017-12-18 18:47

Very nice game. I didn't find it really useful to change the side of the racket though. I confess that I also searched for the mute button :p

ponywolf 2017-12-19 18:10

Nice work. I'd keep pushing the gameplay... a little too simplistic right now.

srabatata 2017-12-28 05:45

@tinis-games Thanks ! We appreciate the feedback, we'll try to make the button more visible and work on the racket. :slight_smile:

srabatata 2017-12-28 05:46

@ponywolf We'll work on it! Thanks for playing it! :slight_smile:

dollarone 2017-12-28 12:36

Nice idea! starts off EASY then gets harder before it's suddenly SUPER HARD. Alyways seem to fail around the ~1000 point mark. I like that you only get points if you hit the ball properly - makes it more skill-based.

The music was a bit repetitive but the controls were good!

srabatata 2017-12-28 19:42

@dollarone Thank you so much! :smiley:
