Very difficult game! But it's fun. And the idea is very innovative. Good job :)

Very difficult game! But it's fun. And the idea is very innovative. Good job :)
The aiming is pretty unintuitive, I think some indication of the "center" point the balls are launched across would make it a lot easier, but other than that a clever idea and pretty well implemented.
Hehe stick basketball. Simple idea. Nice Entry!
Thank you for waking up my elder "happy wheels" memories. I like it, thank you for publishing:)Screenshot 2022-04-18 214546.png
Quite hard game, but fun to try out. Good job!
Fun little arcade game, I agree with others that some kind of indication as to how the ball was being thrown such as an arrow showing direction would have been nice. Still though, good job!
Hard, but quite cool. Needed some time to understand the controls.
Originally had a "center point" that was explicitly marked at the player's hands during development, in hindsight it may been better to keep/build on it rather than remove it (ooops), definitely a learning moment there!
Point taken and thanks so much for the insights :heart:
Enjoyable game. Good fun and fairly addictive. Small bug; you can keep clicking the basketballs to pick multiple up at once and it behaves weirdly.
Some indicator would be nice to see the direction and force of shooting. Strange approach of the theme, I see that time is running out, but is it enought?
Nice concept, but the aiming is definitely a bit dodgy!
Simple idea, It took a few attempts to figure out how it handled. Its quite easy to find a spot where you will never miss though. I stopped after a score of 50 with the remaining time bonuses adding up up faster than it was ticking down.
Nice little game! Aiming _is_ a bit tricky at first, but once I figured it out (which took some experimenting and a few 0 or 1 scoring games) I was able to get into a good rhythm. Once that's mastered, the blue "bonus balls" giving back time pretty much mean you can score indefinitely! I went to 200 and stopped there.

The "dings" when you score give a nice little dopamine hit too! Had fun. Good entry!
Cool Concept, Bit stretched for the theme, and the difficulty is annoying at first, but the game does work none the less.
Fun game
Nice and simple. Lost a couple games without scoring, then when I figured it out, I kept scoring and had to stop using the blue balls so the game could end :sweat_smile:
Not bad! It’s a simple idea, but it’s pretty fun. Keep up the good work! 😃
Played a few times, neat little game
I can't figure out how to throw the ball high enough to score. Are you supposed to release in the direction you want to aim? Or make some sort of dragging motion before release? I did accidentally score a few times with the ball going in from below.
OK, I figured it out, basically you want to release the ball inside of the negative space between the arms and legs.
