An interesting game, the player being very slow I feel really holds back the game from having a good feeling control scheme, instead of making it harder, it just makes it annoying when you miss shots. The other problem I feel is that the trajectory of the ball feels too low, like to aim accurately i have to tilt my camera up more than what feels right for shots. besides for those two things the game was quite pleasant and enjoyable.

I really like the graphics and the sounds. The UI is also very pretty

but the gameplay felt kinda boring and slow

Thanks for the feedback! This was my first time doing LD Solo so I didn't want to take on too much But I also hoped I could make something more fun at the end. Hopefully next time :)

I can't download the game.

Ohk it should work now.

Unique idea that plays very well. At first I was confused about what to do since the shot is hard for a first timer. Once I found a line up I was able to score every throw. I think this game need more variation like a moving target or something. Nevertheless good job with the game!

Design are super cool, it's weird that the music feels joyful when the atmosphere is seems pretty dark to me :) I loved this weird bouncy balls. Great entry for the jam ! Sans-titre-4.jpg

It's simple, but fun. The ball physics were on point. I liked the feel of the throw, and the bounce was just right. Nice feedback when the ball is delivered.

In the next version, the vault doors could open to a next level.

Thank you for all the comments! I really appreciate it. 😁

I was clearly to dumb to play this game, and it took me way to much time to learn what to do. But any way, the idea is okay, and both the visuals and the music is really good. Overall an okay little jam game.

Well done! It took me longer than I'd like to admit to understand where to throw the ball... :laughing:

UI, art, style everything very neat and tidy. A bit confusing, but still was kinda fun to play.

I really love the game! Great graphics and interesting idea!

I really like the look of the game, but picking up the ball after a failed throw is pretty painful. Could probably use a bigger ball or an automatic pickup system to make things easier. At first I couldn't tell where to throw the ball, despite the arrow pointing towards it, but I think that's more because there isn't really a perceived affordance of the box being a receptacle for the ball. Maybe shaping it more like a basketball hoop could help with that.

so the game started and I was there just looking at the screen waiting for something to happen, then I realized the game is on and it's actually a 3d game! that's so cool, the art style is really really nice! the gameplay tough.. oof I suffered so much, the best I can do is ONE BALL, in 4 attempts my highest score was 1 freaking ball, I tried to get far, to get too close, to bounce it off a wall, to do a 360 for good luck.. and nothing worked, I bet you can do it with your eyes closed developer, since you had to test the level many times, but simpletons like me? nope, I laughed at the fact that I have to chase the ball around and pick it up as if me missing a hundred time isn't enough suffering lol, don't mistake my rambling for being salty, I actually had fun experimenting with angles and ideas, I don't know if there is more to the game one you get a few balls in, but I couldn't for the life of me get more than 1 ball in. oh and that slappy bass just slapping me left and right, I would've rage quited a long time ago if not for the music honestly, I really like the music! overall I think this is a nice game, great work! oh my when did I write so much text!!!

The ball physics is so hard! The way the hoop is setup made me channel my basketball experience but the ball works surprisingly unlike the basketball. The ambience and all transitions are so smooth and beautiful though.

The very austere environment with the slow and simple gameplay loop gives an odd mood. I admit I was terrible at it, but I also wish there was a little more range in the angle you can move the view. I couldn't pick up a ball that was too close to my feet.
