Really fun game, good job!

malobil 2018-04-23 18:53

I love this ball physics and sfx are great good job !

diogo-rocha 2018-04-24 01:30

Whole lot of fun until my ball got stuck in a mysterious force field above the field

shrinjoy-fox 2018-04-24 01:38

Gota look into this i am sorry about that we made this game in a hurry :p

lucas-carvalhaes 2018-04-24 02:13

Hahahah just had a good laught. Great concept really. The implementation lacks a bit but the game is good. Good job!

thiagowaw 2018-04-24 04:07

Great work! I put 100 players, and was ejected from the scenario hahahaha. It looks rocketleage but with guns xD. Take a look on my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/vector-rabbits-slayer

Thank you for all the reviews, this is our First Jam and the game was made in a hurry because the theme was weird. Tbh it was really fun to make this game. Thank you a lot for all your reviews.

lacre 2018-04-24 07:15

Really fun! Good job :)

sandbloom 2018-04-24 10:22

Very fun even with a few annoying situations: bombs/grenades pushing you everywhere can become a little frustrating and in general I didn't quite understand their funcionality. Even so, the idea was real cool and it was fun to play!

lumos 2018-04-24 10:23

When my team scored 27 goals to the opponents' 3, I decided to stop.

Neat little idea. I'd recommend adding some sort of audio-visual feedback for the cases where the player gets pushed around (or gets affected by explosions?), as right now it simply feels like control is wrenched out of me for no reason.

4K UI scaling needs work. Furthermore, I couldn't see a match timer or a set amount of goals needed to win the game, so I just stopped at one point.

But otherwise -- I enjoyed this. It's a simple concept that's executed well enough to give me a chuckle. Good work.

shrinjoy-fox 2018-04-24 10:28

XD my bad

soimn 2018-04-24 10:59

Great game. The graphics (especially the particle effects) were impressive and the gamplay clunky, but fun.

honey 2018-04-24 11:00

Thanks for commenting and rating my game, played your as well, it's very confusing in a very fun way :) not sure if my ammo is limited or is it resuplied during time? Had fun playing it! I agree that it is really difficult to predict any exact outcome, but for me it was actually part of the fun, just flying around and trying to manage it a bit. I would just like to see other players thrown around as well, to make it a bit more chaotic :)

tibseydon 2018-04-24 11:05

Cool game

kjeks 2018-04-24 11:13

really nice idea, got a laugh for being so quirky and funny, nice job on integrating the theme, too!

psilocybegames 2018-04-24 11:17

I couldn't understand bombs/granades, overall fun game!

hugimugi7 2018-04-24 11:48

Nice game! But Many things seemed confusing and there was couple of bugs.

zak-zeddam-zakaria 2018-04-24 14:17

really liked the graphic and the lighting looks really great, fun game

mr-blue 2018-04-24 14:31

Nice! I liked the graphics and sound effects. It's easy to lose track of what's going on, but other than that, pretty good concept and solid implementation!

tay 2018-04-24 14:34

Fun game to mess with. Sometimes I just can't shoot anymore, other times people just seem to get thrown everywhere. But all in all, it's fun :)

brillie-phan 2018-04-24 14:40

Cool game man! :) make me laugh through the game. some minor bugs with shoot but still fun

fleoh 2018-04-24 14:51

Pretty fun man !

zaguer 2018-04-24 14:59

Really fun to play, but sometimes it feels awkward to be pushed to everywhere. The bong sounds of the gun/ball are pretty funny and its very fun to keep shooting everywhere and see the Ai players going crazy, haha. Not sure if its a bug, but it seemed not to shot when I was walking, but when I wasn't moving it was like a minigun, haha. Nice game, keep the good work!

nice and fun... really fun hahaha!

dartictheunic 2018-04-24 15:05

Very impressive for a first jam ! Good job !

alineo 2018-04-24 15:17

Your game is fun ! But when you are hit you get tossed to the other part of the field, it can be a little fustrating to be out of the game sometimes :p I kinda like the sound effects too

surley 2018-04-24 15:39

Great idea. :) It has some bugs though, like the fact that I can score a goal without putting a ball between goalposts. :P

2018-04-24 16:24

I enjoyed the music and particle effect for the explosion, that was cool. good work!

riddhee-dutta 2018-04-24 16:46

Thanks for all the reviews. We will be adding a whole alot of new stuffs, actually its our first game jam and the idea and all the Back End Coding(By Shrinjoy) was done in a hurry.

Now Certain things like "Timer" "Goal" etc wasn't added coz we mainly wanted your opinion and you could say that it still in a Beta Form.

We will be adding different stuffs and soon release this game, after the Jam ends.

Once Again, Thank You for all the reviews, the community is awesome and the Game Devs have a whole lot of talent.

hare-software 2018-04-24 17:05

Great concept with nice graphics. Everything goes a little fast, but I quickly figured out what I had to do and had a lot of fun. Thanks and best of luck!

sogaki 2018-04-24 17:56

It takes a bit getting used to controlling the ball with explosions, but it's very fun. Ingenious idea

lyje 2018-04-24 20:16

Nice idea, and a great effort! I think specific things to work on would be controls (mouse sensitivity is very low, firing has a delay), goal detection (I scored once and got 5 points!) and generally tuning the pace and chaos of it all!

blinkenlights 2018-04-24 20:57

It's a pity it's not for Linux...

bintex 2018-04-24 21:16

beren5000 2018-04-24 21:17

great concept, actually fun to play, have some issues, for example, when you get a point, because the ball just need to touch the touchdown, you just to get in front of it an shoot many times to get points, sometimes the players just get in the contrary touchdown and get stuck in there winning, overall its a fun game, a fun concept, and pretty awesome game.

dkdwrek 2018-04-24 22:45

Really fun submission! Enjoyed knocking the ball around and blasting opposing team members :thumbsup:

I agree with @Lyje that having some kind of goal detection, or maybe resetting the ball after a score would improve gameplay.

facepalmpt 2018-04-25 11:01

I like the idea but there's definitely room for improvement.

My suggestions are raise mouse sensitivity or give players the option to adjust it by themselves. Perhaps less players on the field or a bigger field because it feels a little tight while moving around.

The game is funny and with the right tweaks I think we can have something addicting ;)

centauri 2018-04-25 11:05

Nice fun game. I think the goals is too small

blakemcdeezy 2018-04-25 14:57

Just got to play boomball! Aw yeah! It was carnage, but I had a good time - nicely done!

riddhee-dutta 2018-04-26 08:38

"Nice fun game. I think the goals is too small" Blame Shrinjoy.

Jk, it is meant to be small so that people cant goal easily.

hank1996 2018-04-26 17:32

Very funny! I liked this a lot! In my opinion you should probably reduce the number of player because there is not much space to move around. Well done anyway!

thatsommes 2018-04-27 11:08

Nice physics! Could play an improved version of this for hours! maybe less players and faster player controls would make it even better!

nannah 2018-04-27 11:27

Very funny game! I like scared spectators.

cristiano-m-garcia 2018-04-27 16:51

Good job! Cool game!

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

dovakla 2018-04-29 20:34

It's a good concept and it's pretty fun but it could be improved. The player should have the option to adjust the sensitivity and i think the explosions should do more. It didn't really feel like I was helping out or had any control over the ball. Power-ups or obstacles on the field would also make it more exciting.

Not bad for a first jam!

sarrixx 2018-04-30 16:16

Not a bad idea, I found it pretty hard to play though. Would have been better if the mouse sensitivity was adjustable, as I found it quite sluggish. The AI are also pretty difficult, and it's hard to touch the ball for the most part as a result. I also had a feeling that the AI on both teams were shooting at the same goal.

Still, a good idea and nicely done for a weekends work!

2018-05-02 14:12

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wurw5JuaZs
