The game has some unique elements with enjoyable mechanics and appealing artwork. It’s a good experience, though there’s still room for improvement after the jam. Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you

Quite nice! I love the appearance, and the music was a great choice. Good simple mechanics, perfect scope for a jam.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the game, I tried to definitely limit the scope as I've fallen into over-scoping problems way too often. Thanks for playing!

The most polished Pin game of this jam ! Great work :p

I appreciate the kind words. Thank you!

Now we know how a bowling pin feels ;-P  Nice game!

Developer

Yep we get to experience the true terror of an incoming curve bowling ball. Thanks for playing! :D

This was really well polished, and, similar to what others have said, feels like it would be a great minigame! I think it would have been fun to allow the pins to collide with each other so you could try and push other pins into the path of the bowling balls. I also really liked that the balls started to have spin on them as you go along which makes them less predictable. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I agree with you that adding more pin interactions would add another layer of intensity as you bump into each other and potentially knock a pin into an incoming bowling ball. I appreciate your comments and thanks for playing the game!

Fun little game! I feel like it would be very well suited as part of a minigame -a-thon. Similar to mario party. (Could even have 1 player as the bowler!)

Developer

Yes, originally I wanted it to be multiplayer with the several pins, but I didn't have time to implement that. Thanks for playing it!

Fantastic work! I liked the getting up mechanic. Reminded me of PunchOut

Developer

Thank you! :D

This was a really fun game. It's a really good take on the theme! I think that and the aesthetic you created are awesome. It's a simple mechanic - really simple - but something I've never seen before so I found that really innovative, taking on the role of a bowling pin! Very creative. Really great job, and well done.

Developer

Glad you had fun with the game. I appreciate the nice feedback, thanks for playing!

Really liked the idea of getting up and I thought it added to the mechanic and I also liked the overall look and feel. I think I managed to be the last one standing even without falling and getting back up, but I really liked the idea with getting up after being knocked down, I thought this was a unique detail that made yours stand out. I also liked how the balls were showing up and you could see them as they were coming down. Overall, nice job on it!

Developer

I appreciate the nice feedback. Thanks for trying it out!

Do you guys know each other?

Loved your game's music by the way

Developer

Haha no it was all a funny coincidence. I was definitely amused when I found out that we used the same name. Thanks for playing the game!

Submitted(+1)

I had to try this! I suggested this very idea to my team and we ended up going with something different. Great execution. Very fun.

Developer

I'm glad you had fun with the game. Thanks for playing it! :D

The panic when you get hit lol

Developer(+1)

Yes, and then followed up by the intense button mashing. Thank you for playing the game!

Submitted

Wow! that was so well done!

Developer

Thank you!

Excellent, really good fun. Enjoyed having to anticipate the spin on some of the balls - also difficulty level was just about right, so not super frustrating to play. Well done!

Developer

I'm glad that you enjoyed the game! Thanks for playing it! :D

Fantastic - Almost give you a  perfect rating. Such good idea, vibe and sounds, images and colour. One thing for consideration perhaps - I did find  my pin too slow to move/not very responsive and wanted to move it faster.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I can see how maybe making the speed of the pin a bit faster would make it feel a bit better. Thank you for trying it out! :D

Submitted(+1)

Fun concept, good visuals and sounds as well as a professional overall presentation. If the pin's speed could be sped up a bit would be even better!

Developer(+1)

Yeah I didn't play around too much with other movement speeds, but I can see tweaking it to be faster could be better. I appreciate the feedback, thanks for playing!

It is a great, fun little game. I love the interpretation of the theme. The shaders in this game are done perfectly.

Developer

Thank you, I appreciate the nice comments!
