This was a really goofy game to play, loved it, reminded me a lot of Extreme Football Throwdown from Gmod, really fun game to play with friends. Honestly would be cool if yall extended this

lightningst 2024-10-08 23:44

So much fun! Really enjoyed it!

lol @nuin kicked my ass. That was great, I had to get off for work :(

nuin 2024-10-09 03:52

@big-nose haha sorry man, you didn't know how to sprint!

meep 2024-10-09 05:02

Had a blast playing this on Rincs' stream! Great work :D

Game plays a lot like rocket league with a new innovative mechanic. Some QOL changes and you have a stellar game. Great work!

2024-10-09 05:18

beetle ball=coleopteran chaos! such fun :) nice work!

rincs 2024-10-09 14:11

I didn't win, but I had so much fun with everyone. I hope you implement that backwards play mode...the true "normal" mode ehehehe. XD

nuin 2024-10-09 20:45

@rincs Thanks for playing! I hope you can try it out on a computer that won't explode haha :)

Nice and funny game. Rocket league with tiny creatures, love it!

coleslaughter 2024-10-10 00:19

Ridiculously ambitious game! I love the spin that you take on Rocket League. :slight_smile:

If I had one complaint it might be that I'm not the biggest fan of being able to "explode" a golden ball by adding mass to it. It always felt bad when it happened (whether by accident or maliciously) and made the matches feel a lot longer than they had to be. :confused:

Still, the personality and silliness of this game is off the charts, and I love how it brings people together on streams! Very excellent job with this one! :smile:

Really ambitious to design a MULTIPLAYER game that's team based, well done and seems both funny and also well designed as a viable sport like game with interesting rules. Great take on a theme!

Good job!

markais 2024-10-10 00:45

very epic, big fun :sunglasses:

pimping 2024-10-10 17:25

I guess the name of the game is bugball

leo-fu 2024-10-10 20:48

Very Unique idea, love it!

nuin 2024-10-10 21:58

langotriel 2024-10-11 00:44

And that's what I love about it ;)

nuin 2024-10-11 02:38

@langotriel It's a dung game!

coltonphillips 2024-10-11 03:13

I liked playing this game with you. Thank you guys!

flyingkaida 2024-10-11 13:52

OHMYGOODNESS!!! So far this is my favorite game in the jam. I could not stop laughing the entire time I played it last night. I had to go tell all my roommates and my boyfriend. I can see streaming this from time to time, slinging dung at goals. Rofl. A lot of fun, thanks all of you! :joy:

nuin 2024-10-11 17:06

@flyingkaida Wow thank you so much! We're going to turn this into a full polished Steam release, I'll let you know when it's out :)

rickylee 2024-10-12 21:53

misaravensoul 2024-10-13 04:36

Multiplayer game! Holy Moly! Tons of fun! I would love to see a timer!

Easily one of my favorite games this Ludum Dare. Not only is this take on Rocket League entirely unique, it fits the theme well, and you somehow implemented reliable multiplayer. In 3 Days.

You even implemented a networked taunt system...

Oh and yeah, the game itself is really, really fun with a surprising amount of strategy.

Looking forward to seeing this on Steam!

nuin 2024-10-20 04:19

@daniel-alhadeff Thank you so much :) Looking forward to playing against you in a match on Steam haha

deadroach 2024-10-25 05:58

This is phenomenal! Love this game, really really impressive you guys were able to put this together in 3 days. I played with 3 other people on stream and had a blast. Great 3d models, great music, and a great idea in general. Seriously great work.
