A very fun game! It would be great if there was some kind of background music though, the eerie silence sometimes can be a bit daunting - besides that it was an incredibly enjoyable experience with a very interesting twist on what I surmise to be inspired by classic games such as Snake ball-bearing/marble mazes in real life. :D
Nice fun game, enjoyed the peg mechanic so that its not just a simple swing to hit the balloon you have to be weary of where you have past swung before.
Not for the faint of heart! This one has a bit of a learning curve to get used to using the momentum, but it's a lot of fun to swing around popping the balloons. It plays very cleanly and I like the pixelated style. Of course, it could have used some music, but the sounds that were used fit the rest of the game. Very well done!
A lot of fun! Really liked that small clever game
Took a while to get used to the controls, it's very frustrating if you don't know how to gain height and have to wait for the wheel to bring you back up. But once I understood how to best gain momentum, (by clicking diagonally down) it was a lot of fun.
This game has some really good gameplay, it's satisfying to swing around and the pace can change throughout the expirience which gives a lot of varied interest in the gameplay, the art styles good, i like the classic feel of the game, the audio was fine but it was limited otherwise i got nothing bad to really say. good game.
Very fun and addicting game. I'm having a hard time putting it down. I wasn't able to figure out how to get higher up until I read a comment here about aiming diagonally and down, but now that I know it has made the game even more fun. Fantastic job!
The movements feels very good. But then I had to spend a lot of time waiting to rotate back up. Needs a better way to get height back quickly.
Most fun game I've played so far. Interesting design I would never have thought of!
segfaults in Linux 64. What game engine is that?
I had a really hard time until I read a comment saying that they read a comment about aiming diagonally down. Really satisfying game! The sound effects are great.
@svyatozar The game was made with Godot. Sorry to hear about the segfault issue. I'm not really sure what could be causing it.
Fun, the graphics look clean and the audio fits. The game is simple, which makes it easy to start playing without any explanation. I like how the pins stay and how an arrow that points to the balloon appears. The camera could be better. I often can't see what I want to see. Perhaps add controls to zoom in and out? Have the camera automatically zoom out to show the player and the balloon? Overall great entry.
Awesome! Great use of the theme and the gameplay is innovative and super fun. I just love physics-based games like this. Interesting how it gets harder as you put more pins down - a bit frustrating but maybe necessary for difficulty reasons. It was a little hard to get used to the movement at first, so maybe some sort of easier tutorial level right off the bat might be good to have. My high score was 15, got stuck when a balloon appeared up top & between the circles and it was super hard to get to. Bet this would be great to watch people speedrun :D Great work!
Very sweet concept and well executed. I got a bit stuck on my first try since the first or second balloon spawned in a really hard to reach spot above the wheels; perhaps for the benefit of the learning experience the first few balloons could be restricted to easier spots? Even so this was a lot of fun.
The idea is really interesting, and it was fun to try to play the game. I found it a bit too difficult to control the ball.
What a fun little game! It was a little hard to get used to it but I actually quite enjoyed playing it a lot!
Really cool mechanic and the pixel art wood effects on the wheels is great.
Did find it a bit tricky to sort of gain height once I'd dropped towards the bottom of the level.
Enjoyed it a lot though!
Very creative idea and well executed. The spawning of balloons is a bit unbalanced though.
Very creative idea and nicely executed. I found it very addictive to keep playing to try and get a higher score to pop balloons next time. I found it a bit difficult to get back to the top once you went to the bottom or gaining speed after losing it, but part of the game is just figuring out how to best do that. Nice job!
