Very nice, I liked this game a lot!
Nice game, certainly because you're not an experienced coder @Andreadbx Did you create the models for the robot and ball by yourself?
@Andreadbx Have a look at my game. Combinration of Flappy Bird & Tetris
@mazzletov yup, i made the models all by myself, i actually had to force myself to not dedicate 100% of the time i had doing 3d assets :D
@Andreadbx Haha yea me too. Modelling is relaxing in comparison with coding. I just started using Blender and it's refreshing from 2D and coding.
Pretty funny but the ball physics are a little unpredictable (and super bouncy). Good job overall though, I like the way the enemies break apart as they die.
Pretty cool! I enjoyed breaking the robots apart with the ball more than scoring goals! It's pretty hard to freeze the ball when it's bouncing up and down really fast, it may have been nicer to allow the player to freeze the ball at any time without requiring them to aim at it? There was way too much motion blur for my tastes, sometimes it was difficult to see where I was going when turning around. The sounds were great and really gave the feeling of a soccer ball bouncing around an enclosed room. Overall really awesome work!
This game doesn't work properly on my work PC T_T. Remind me to play it tonight when I'm home because it does look quite interesting!
This is really fun to play! Keep it up!
I enjoy playing your game, only issue I had was the ball bouncing in place and difficulty hitting it. Good work on the visuals though, really looks good!
Man, hitting those enemies with the ball and watching them fall apart is so satisfying! I had some difficulties hitting the ball at first, but I probably have to practice a bit more. I got a few jump shots in there though ;). Environment and models look amazing and it is really cool that you were able to make this with not a lot of coding experience, great job!
Nice game! I like how you added the AI to make the game more interesting. Maybe you should make the controlls less sensitive or at least add options for that, when you make first person shooter. But still a good game, keep on going ;)
Always nice to see artist branch out and try different stuff!
It felt good to freeze that ball on the air and maneuver behind it to get perfect angle to launch it towards enemy face. Enemies tend to explode to pieces quite satisfyingly. Otherwise the game didn't deliver all that much.
It's always good to keep eye on what is actually fun to do in the game, even though it might not be the main goal or the original idea and expand on that. Maybe you could expand on that object throwing and exploding enemies to pieces and refactor your game goal accordingly? It's much more fun to crush the enemies with the ball than push the ball towards inanimate goal for +1 on score board. Go towards what emerges as the most fun stuff during development and you will make great games!
Keep up the good work!
Nice game, good graphics. I enjoyed it. :D If expanded may become a really cool game. Cheers!
Super cool. Graphics are top notch, definitely the strongest point in this game. But other things aren't lacking behind either. It was fun to run away/avoid enemies and then shoot (or should I say kick :smile: ) them from far away. Scoring points with goals wasn't very interesting I guess, I mead destroying enemies was way more fun. Also It was quite hard to catch a ball, but spawning helped a lot.
Great job!
Good game. Great graphics, jump is unrealistic and kicking the ball is quite hard. Nice idea for the theme given.
Pretty neat game! Art is obviously glorious and effects added in Unity give the game a very professional and polished look. It shows that you put some love and hours to those models!
The game itself is pretty fun. It is maybe a bit too fast for my taste and occasionally it it hard to hit the ball since it requires pretty good aiming.
Overall, with some gameplay tuning this game could be very neat. Still a very good performance for a marathon!
The graphics in this game, is overall pretty good, but the moving bloom effect was a bit too overwhelming. The game idea is good, but the ball was difficult to control and the AI was a bit stupid. Anyway for a LD game, this was pretty good. Well done.
About the motion Blur effect, isnt supposed to be that overwhelming, but trying the game on a lower spec computer It Just happens, i think this is because i made DeathBall in Unity 2018 beta with the new HD render pipeline, Wilpl do more tests, thanks for the feedback!
great job! I had fun trying it out on stream
I think the ball is a bit bouncy, but otherwise... Would be nice to have a way to kill without the ball, but...

Great concept! I would tighten up the controls and make the ball a bit less bouncy, but otherwise a very solid entry!
@Ben Pearson Just saw your video by the way, maybe i should have wrote more explanations on the buttons, you seem to never even try to freeze the ball in Place for a better shot or use the middle mouse button to position It in front of you, i Guess instructions where lacking :(
Nice work lads! We also did a very original too, ye mid check it out?

Cool graphics bro . This game made for 3 days only coooool. Im very amazed with you guys good jog
Like the graphics a lot! Good job. Also nice that you did this all by yourself without any help of programmers, especially since you did it in unity which makes it more difficult to make games without knowing how to program. The controls feel a bit wonky but that was to be expected. Again, nice job man :)
Woow, cool art! It is also developing, when you do game with restricted posibilites - like not much programming skills - I adore you :D I think main hero is running too fast. And I fell down from map. But overall - nice job.
Like the concept. Very cool. Fun to play and ran well.
I managed to fall out of the building three times. Im sure thats a bug. I also think that the detection radius for the ball should be larger. When your running fast, it's hard to clik the ball while it is bouncing.
Theres something satisfying when the enemy collapses by ball collision. Great addition to LD :D.
OMG, the graphics are so good. I didn't really win, so I must be pretty bad. Congratulations on the game made!
Also, nice stream going ;)
Graphics are awesome, and so is the game concept. I managed to do a few goals, but the right place for that ball is in DA ENEMY FACE. I love seeing that robot falling in pieces to the ground.
Also, I think I just found the most beautiful and aestethic bug of all time. gif attached.
Thanks a lot for your work, you're a great artist and you nailed the jam theme!
Cheers from Catania :P kkk.gif
I really like the style you did, it's awesome, I can't vote though... only got a Mac :( and you only have Windows version. :(
The 3d models are awesome, (just better that i can do), the idea is beautiful and the ball had no gravity. I can't review but i like your game and as Borghese says: "Diesci!"
Ciao mbare :D death.png
Love the idea.
It was very slow at my potato pc, even at the super low graphics setting. Probably because of the motion blur effect.
@BoltKey as i said in another comment, this runs on unity beta 2018 with HD render pipeline, so not optimized for lower specs :(
Nice idea, the only flaw is the blur effect is very annoying, it made me feel a little nauseated !! D: My game is https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/in-the-details
