Haha, the story is great, and I really love the bouncing bullet mechanic, I very quickly started lining up my shots to hit both sides.
The only feedback I have is that if you could transition straight from the intro to the game, that would be awesome. And if you could have some type of way to encourage bouncing shots, that would be really cool too (i.e. combo points for bouncing shots, limited ammo per "round").
Really though, it's an awesome game, the story is hilarious!
Love the story! That poor ball ^^
After the intro I expected to see some king of platformer with rainbows and stuff but your choice is pretty cool, and hard!
Nice work man!
Thanks for your feedback! I've just uploaded a new version with some added mechanics to make the game more interesting :D
O wow, cool game and story line.
wow the story is superb cool!
This is really fun, very nice work!
Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you liked it :D
woooo you made a story line for the ball, with your ball story and my paddle story we have a full game of thrones style show but with pong! I like how the shots bounce off, maybe we need the story of the oppressed bullet
Hahaha awesome intro/story :)
@sebasRez: let's call the HBO D:
Thanks for playing everyone!
Wow, cool story and a lot of fun to play.
Cool story and nice gameplay :)
Revenge of the Squareling!
Amazing intro! I like it very much, despite of the sad story. Sometimes life feels like that, bouncing back and forth without real meaning. The game itself is nice too. Sadly the feelings you have created with the intro are getting diminished by the instruction screen before the game starts. It would be nice, if you could incorporate the instructions with maybe a simple ingame tutorial, maybe as part of the story. Maybe the ball could discover his special powers. And if you would continue the story in game, that would be great. It could become something like "thomas was alone".
Thanks for the comments and thanks for the inspiration loxo :)
There are many things I would like to change in this game, but I wanted to see what I was able to do in a typical jam timespan (2-3 days). Maybe I'll develop it further in the future :)
Super interesting. Love the intro! I included it in part 1 of my MiniLD #58 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/6WCd4EnydEU
I love it, thanks :D
This game ended up being one of my favorites from this MiniLD! I included it in the article of my favorites and have added a trophy to your profile! http://fireside.gamejolt.com/post/jam-favorites-minild-58-iypmaiqg
