Nice game! so creative.

Love the neon and old school arcade motifs! Feels like being back in the 80s, haha. Interesting puzzles and level designs, and I like the bonus goals that encourage the player to do more than the bare minimum to clear. Great job!

Wow looks amazing!  Balls are so cute and music is a good fit.

Very cool game!

This was a really cool submission! I loved the graphics and the idea of being a ball in a claw machine :P .. I think the time star was a little to strict, I don't think many people would get it during there first run through, although that's probably the point, I still think increasing it slightly so only above average people would be able to achieve it would be better.

Very solid submission though! Good job! :)

I really enjoyed playing this. Loved the graphics and music. I would say the timing for each level was a bit too strict, I'm quite competitive, and trying to solve some of these levels in 15-20s was really hard XD

We wanted to make bonus stars challanging, if you want the bonus star you have to earn it :P

FAN FREAKING TASTIC! I had a ball! ;) 
I have not been more impressed yet. The music and art style gave it such a retro 80's feel. The use of the 80's arcade claw machine and the neon lights! It all just screamed retro to me and I enjoyed it! The little balls each had faces. Even the balls themselves were enjoyable as I remember these big pink bouncy balls and the more plastic like small blue ones. Green was a great support ball character and of course grey for that heavy stone feel. 

The level design and mechanics were so polished. FULL marks! Also you finished early! Great job you two!

LOVELY! You have such a great aesthetic and such a clean and solid execution. And the little balls have so much personality I just love them. And I really really like the claw machine goal, it's such a good use of space. (Although I got stuck at level 9) Still such a great game :)

Oh NICE! Extra points for the 80s look! :D This is actually addictive! Your game is a bit similar to my submission which is cool! Great minds think alike :) Good job with this one! Very enjoyable! If you were to keep building on this, maybe keep the double jump button the same as the regular jump, I was fiddling a bit with the controls xD

Great job, I enjoyed the art style and the soundtrack!

You did a great job on this game! I loved the art and the neon color palette. The music was really good too.

Submitted

This is really fun, enjoyed it a lot

Really enjoyed this one, like the arcade feel of everything, from the art to the music. Only minor thing is that I wish the menu system worked with the keyboard more consistently,  it kind of breaks the flow having to switch back to the mouse to go to the next level - it may be a problem with the WebGL build, I didn't try the desktop version. Great job!

The artstyle and Colorplate is fantstic, really good and fun game.

I really liked the aesthetic and concept ^^  the puzzles were also quite interesting, and the star system makes me want to play it again later to try to beat it completely, haha!

I'm LOVING the cyberpunk vibe with the old school ball machines, brilliant.

Submitted

Very good game. The puzzles were fun, the movement smooth, and everything worked. It fit the theme very well. And I have to admire the claw machine because I also used something similar in my submission.

Submitted

Overall good game! But pick up system didnt quite work for me

Developer

In what way it didnt work for you? :)
