Neat! I really liked the idea, although I kept getting my iron stuck on the sides of the screen

zarkonnen 2021-10-04 08:44

Metallurgical keepy-uppy! This was really fun to play!

chargrills21 2021-10-04 08:52

Nice idea! However, I found it too hard to move the iron ball, and the game can be cheated by just holding up.

Neat game with a clever idea! It’s a little heavy on info, probably don’t need more than a sentence or two to explain what’s going on and then figure it out while you play, but fun game for sure!

Hi @barelyevengames Thanks for your feedback and playing my game Yes I should have someone to read the tutorial and get the feedback on it!

random-ideation-studios 2021-10-05 06:38

Hello @zarkonnen Thanks a lot for playing my game!

random-ideation-studios 2021-10-05 06:39

Hello @slimmerburger Actually you can get from sides by going down and suddenly press up I works sometimes but you should try it!

random-ideation-studios 2021-10-05 06:40

@chargrills21 you are right but I don't know how to prevent that If you can give any idea on it, Surely I will add to my game!

chargrills21 2021-10-05 07:40

@spider-developer You could add a red damage collision box at the top of the screen which damages you when you hit it

Interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/6UdIqDKcGPw

Nice little game ! The idea is simple, but efficient, and the execution is quite nice ! I'll just make two little complains that has already been done : the ball is too hard to move sideways (maybe add more friction, or being able to rotate the platform ?) and the "holding up exploit" ^^.

Overall, good job !

I found it interesting to play this game. she addicts and amuses

Interesting basic concept, I think the way the player interacts with the ball is a little bit limited though. Perhaps a different shape for the players object would help them control the trajectory of the ball a bit better, I found it really hard to dodge the rocks from above because they are too fast to react to, and the ball slid around in a way that was hard to stop, if the player had some kind of small bumps on each end or maybe had another shape entirely I think there would be a lot more room for skilled play and quick reactions, maybe increased player speed could help too.

Overall pretty solid, everything worked with no bugs and it's a functional prototype which is awesome!

This game is interesting. I like the musical accompaniment in this game, when I tried to jump and listen to music it was fun, I liked it.

random-ideation-studios 2021-10-08 05:18

Thank you @alexsolonnikovp4 for your complements for the game But I didn't doing the music bcoz I don't know how to!!

I hope you enjoyed the game!!

jaspior 2021-10-08 07:17

Even thouhg you hasn't made the music, it was a nice choice and very fitting to the game mood, good work!

random-ideation-studios 2021-10-08 10:27

Thx @jaspior I am already to started to learn music Soon I will be making my own music!

kpded 2021-10-08 14:26

Good job with a music and mood! It seems like there is a dominant strategy of standing still in one place, perhaps giving more damage to the rock could help with that

random-ideation-studios 2021-10-08 15:08

Thanks a lot for your feedback @kpded I thought it would be very harsh with more damage but I will update post-jam them with more damage

nardandas 2021-10-09 03:50

Interesting idea, but I had a lot of trouble feeling agency in the game. I couldn't move the ball very quickly, and once a piece of debris hit my bar thing, I couldn't get it off of it without dropping the ball.

axelrinaldo 2021-10-11 14:25

A nice little game, especially for only being made in a day! Quite enjoyable gameplay, though I think the rocks should have done a little more damage on average, doing only 2 damage or so per hit made the rounds a little bit long. :)

elveverx 2021-10-14 06:05

Fun little game I really liked the physics in particular!

mira 2021-10-16 08:30

Hey, nice little game. As others have said, it was pretty rough to dodge the falling blocks as it's hard to move the ball quickly by reacting. Overall I had fun.

roka-josh 2021-10-17 20:34

Very good first entry into a jam, congratulations!

ha7oes 2021-10-18 07:19

great job you’ve done all by yourself! Congrats!

kymakesgames 2021-10-18 16:09

There is a really fun idea here, and I haven't played anything like it before. I thought the tutorial was just the right amount of information and the visual effects were nicely done. Lasted for 3 minutes before a rock knocked the iron off the platform!

negator2vc 2021-10-20 18:57

Nice game with good controls and good visuals! Great job!

cody-miner 2021-10-21 07:43

Stellar music! I evaded the rocks by holding up for a while, then just enjoyed the music

emaigualmc2-art 2021-10-21 14:42

Interesting concept! I think it would improve a lot if the screen were vertical instead of horizontal, we would have more field of vision. The rocks fall very quickly and are practically not visible, it would be good if the falling speed were variable. Good job!

congrats on your first game jam!
