This game is really cool. I like the Katamari-Monkey Ball vibes. One complaint, the camera jerk from moving is too sharp and it makes me nauseous. Good job tho

This is something that I never knew that I wanted, but am so glad that it exists

This is a good one. I wish the graphics were a bit more curated and that'd make it really stand out

This is one of those ideas I wish I had had. The camera and controls could use a touch of work I think, but pretty solid overall

Thank you so much for the kind words!

@unitedfailures I totally agree, the camera is a bit jerky. Oddly enough, the code controlling the camera was one of the most complicated scripts I wrote for this game. I didn't want to waste too much time on it, so it was left kinda unpolished. I just wish I had a little more time... And by a little more time, I mean a month.

@tequilatom I'm glad to hear that. :smile:

@blitzcloud It is important to note that I am not an artist at all. Plus, I didn't even know 3d modelling before this. I learned blender on the fly to make all of these custom models.

@mathemagician thank you for the comment! I'm always looking for things to improve on, and the camera and controls could have been better.

I like katamari and i really liked this one. Some interesting pieces in game design :heart:. That's a little frustraiting that physical size is not visible, which is important on some level parts

Too short :( Good fusion of 2 games ahah it would have been necessary to be able to play with the arrows, I'm using an azerty keyboard and I had trouble with WQSD ahah

Heh, a strange combination but I like it. Seems pretty complex for the challenge so I appreciate the hard work. It may be quirky but you've got a decent Monkey Ball Damacy thing here.

:v:

I gotta say, this was a pretty creative approach for this theme. Solid entry!

I so sucked at it at the beginning, I will admit. But then I thought, I will not let a bunch of fruit defeat me! I got better and really had fun with it :smile:. Very creative entry!

I did encounter a bit of a bug. On level 3 - when I already gathered all the fruit and the key and I was all big and rolling happily - I glitched when rolling over the low step. It happened three times and both low steps in this level had this effects. When I glitched, I just disappeared (did not fall through a texture, just faded to black) and the level reset.
