You made so great visuals. Simple game but impressing
Whoa!! Loved the visuals! The game's super atmospheric with the background sound!! Really enjoyed rolling the barrel around, knockin the pins down. Great game!!
This is a cool game! I think the visuals are cool and the gameplay is creative. Nice job!
Cool twist on bowling, it was kinda like crossed with golf. Really nice 3D visuals too!
this is pretty good
i really liked the visuals and the idea was really creative
the gameplay is pretty fun but i wish there was music (there might have been but its either im really deaf or its just too quiet)
dang. I removed the music from the levels to highlight the other sounds. That was clearly a mistake
This is SUCH a cool, original idea. I adore the ps1 style graphics and I think you really have something here. So nice!
Definitely a unique twist! Using the mouse wheel as your button was quite clever! The controls could use a little bit of polishing and maybe some more angles to rotate would give some better accuracy. Very well done!
yeah I had a hard time balancing accuracy and speed since different mouse scroll wheels have such different sensitivities even just on desktop vs web. maybe that's why people don't often use it as input lol
This is a very fun game:)
Damn it's so cool, i really like pixel 3ds
Nice game I love the art and i have no idea how you made a pixel 3d world amazing game man. but if you don't my checking my game out feedback would really be appreciated.
I liked the game do you mind rating mine?
really clever idea! I can't decide if it fits the theme or not though...since the mouse wheel isn't really a "button"...but it's definitely a more creative mechanic! Props on doing a 3D game! Good work!
I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)
I disagree just because it has three inputs doesn't mean its not one button. It is called the middle mouse button afterall. The way i saw it is i wasn't really cheating using it since a lot of games used mouse movement along side a button which in a way is far more inputs
my general opinion is using the mouse for things like direction or camera movement is fine because it isn't a "button", but using the mouse buttons (LMB or RMB) is kinda a cop-out because they can be used to press multiple other buttons on screen. It take away from the challenge/restriction of the theme.
The mouse wheel is an unique control where yes it's a button, but still associated with the mouse as a whole, so it could still be used in the same way as LMB or RMB. You don't use it in that way, so I can see how it fits the theme. It's just my personal opinion & interpretation of the theme so people are welcome to disagree!
absolutely, i just wanted to offer my justification. It doesn't even sound like we disagree much
It was pretty hard but to control the barrel, but it was fun! I really like the idea of the game it is quite unique. And of course, it's awesome to see a high-quality 3d games made in such a short time, well done!
I had difficulty controlling the barrel but very cool game overall!
Excellent game, really great take on the theme
Only thing is I found a bug where I couldn’t move my aim sometimes, this was in browser
if you aren't full screen pressing the middle mouse may sometimes put it in auto scroll mode. Unfortunately i have no control over that
This game was really creative! I am really in love with the powpoly art style you have going on! Great job for submitting in time <3
fantastic aesthetic! just needed some bgm or boost the ambient track IMO.
i actually took out the music right before then end so the barrel could be heard. but maybe i should have kept it in
Really fun game! I love the simplistic graphics, the crisp sound effects, and the addicting gameplay! If you could, can you play my game too? https://itch.io/jam/boundless-game-jam/rate/1104146
thanks! I'll be sure to check it out
My personal winner so far. This is the game I would play even without the jam. Level where you need to fly across the gap is epic
