Simple and funny. I enjoyed it
nice game
Interessante a ideia, eu só sou burro de mais pra conseguir jogar xD
Gave it a 5/5 for humor just because of the title
Cool idea but very sad no audio :c
I love the idea, and I had fun trying the game. I will say it's really difficult, and perhaps a bit too difficult. The game do also need some music and perhaps some sound effects. Overall is it a pretty good and fun little jam game.
interesting ideas and attractive mechanics))
Fun game and quite tricky. I agree with the other comments about the audio. Almost any audio is better than none at all. Aside from that, a nice game jam game!
An interesting idea, but I couldn't cope with the first springboard (
I don't mind the difficulty too much but the stages making you repeat the whole thing again is a little demanding of patience for a jam game. The mechanic is great though, I had fun with it :)
Fun game. Do miss having some sounds in the game but I like the idè a lot.
pretty fun. your numbers in the hud are broken but pretty good.
Nice game, interesting mechanics and well graphics,a map in game somewhat reminiscent of the flatgrass map from Garry's Mod, well work.
Cool game, the levels were fun and I like the idea. I do wish there was better control over the ball's speed, as I never quite got the hang of how to slow it down or gain speed by changing size. Also I recommend noting in the instructions that Esc closes the game, I tried to pause at the end of the second level and it closed it instead
I love the mechanic with shrinking-expanding, and the game seems chill ^^ A bit difficult for me maybe, as I am not that good with physics, but I like the idea and I'll keep it on my laptop, might practice bit more sometimes :)
Manipulating size changes is a cool idea.
this was apretty fun game however It was very difficult from the first ramp. I spilled my red label from hitting my desk. I liked it though :)
like the idea with a simple arcade gameplay. Had a hard time figuring out how to get past the ramp though.
I didn’t managed to finish it, I can’t finish the level where you fall down in a white tube, bounce off a tilted surface, jump through a hole and must land in a transparent tube.
This is a cool twist of Super Monkey Ball. I think the physics whould be tweaked a little bit, but I can’t tell how. I am not sure how changing the ball size affects the speed.
You displayed controls which is nice. WASD controls uses scancodes so it’s not messed up on non-QWERTY keyboards, thank you for that. The right joystick is not sensitive enough, I ended up holding the controller with my left hand and the mouse with my right hand.
Really really neat idea, I think tuning the physics to keep players a bit more in control would have made the game more enjoyable for me. I like the concept that small ball = more control less speed, and big ball = less control more speed. That should stay, but I would have liked if the control was overall higher across the spectrum.
I have two other small suggestions. - Make sure every surface has a pattern on it, just something to make it not a flat color. There were times I had the camera pointed down, so my background was filled with the flat blue color of a platform, and I couldn't gauge my speed or direction. Having stripes or a grid pattern would solve that. - If I'm not pressing any movement input, I think it would feel better for the ball to slow down to zero speed. Tapping back and forth to stay still didn't feel great.
Aside from those, I think the core concept that you have here seriously has potential! I hope you continue working on it, I truly see this concept becoming a hit mobile game.
A deep philosophical question if ball size matters. From play this game it seems that the answer is yes.
Really nice and unique game mechanic. It was something completely new for me at least. It was fun and challenging at the same time. I just missed some music. Great work!
