Cool idea. There's a ton in this! I'm really impressed you managed to code all that in 48 hours WHILE also juggling at the same time!

Wow that's very nice and unexpected. I watched the video of Numberphile and this game is a nice way to play with the tricks and learn tricks. Sadly I don't know yet how to juggle, but one day I'll learn :)

The program is very polished, I like the different views, the simple yet nice graphics.

However the controls are tricky and not natural, even in the menu (C to choose an option instead of Enter).

I had fun watching preset patterns and finding nice random ones. However the editor was a bit incomprehensible to me, so I could not really explore that part…

The music and SFX go well together, it may not be very interactive but it’s a soothing experience. The rotating 3D model is impressive; your PICO-8 mastery shows again :smile:

Surprised by how different and cool this game is, really criative, great job !

I think I got how the juggle editor worked \o/ It's an unexpected take on the theme and an hypnotizing toy, I love it ! You're just missing the automatic gif generator ;)

Really strange experience. I took a look at the video and I understand what you tried to do. I like it. I am really impressed by your capability to learn a new engine in less than a few months - PICO. Well done for something new ++

Wonderful graphics - I'm gonna have to analyse this "PICO-8 cell/outline effect" you got going here. Amazing how many layers you managed to add in such a short amount of time. The generative music was also a nice touch. Good luck! :D

Really interesting idea! In my opinion the controls are a bit confusing.

Very hypnotic ! Controls are confusing though, but maybe its a pico-8 restriction ? I spent most of the time just admiring patterns :D

Very impressive work. I cannot figure out how you did so much in the time given

Interesting toy, always been interested in juggling so was nice to see the maths behind it. Did find the editor a bit confusing though but did have fun trying out all the preset patterns and seeing how it worked.
