BallRunner

The, ah, the gameplay doesn't make much sense. It's just sort of bouncing back and forth and hoping you bounced right without having any sort of feedback as to what you're supposed to be doing or even what you're supposed to even be *looking* for. A controls screen would have been nice; I *think* only the left and right arrow keys are used (+space to jump), but I'm not quite sure. Still, good job on getting something out there that runs. Don't stop on account of old farts like us that like to poke holes in everything we find.

This was... an experience to be had

First of all, congrats on making a game for the Ludum Dare! I wish I was this good at your age. :D As far as feedback goes, I would suggest putting the controls in the game so that players can find them easily. Also, like ketura said, try and highlight where the player needs to try and get to, or what their goal is as well. Otherwise fantastic work, I can't wait to see what you manage to do next time, and most importantly, keep making games! :D

Wow only 10 years old and already making game with Unity. I enjoyed my time with this game. Especially the level where you had to be on 2 different sides with the balls. That really showed the potential of the idea. Keep it up!

Congrats on your game submission! So happy for you and your choice get into game development. It's a long and challenging road, but well worth it!

I like the concept of your game and encourage to keep on working at it. I think sphere physics are super fun to play with and you can make some fun scenarios. I used to play with marbles a lot as a kid and I would build structures to drop them down and see where they landed and which routes they took. I could definitely see your game having similar concepts.

Like others have said, some instructions in the game would help and the ability to explore to the entire map would make things more exciting.

Nice work and keep it up!

For a first game attempt, it was not bad. I'm impressed that you managed to do this at your age. Though I did not really understand the mechanics of the game. The music was good though.

Cool game, I love the idea.

I completed it, and I think there's a promising idea here: part of the puzzle is figuring out what the puzzle is in the first place.

I didn't understand why in Levels 1 and 3 there was a top screen and a bottom screen. If this was supposed to be a clue, I didn't understand it. :sweat_smile:
