very nice fun fun
This was a really nice entry! I love the use of the theme and though simple the gameplay was pretty fun! the are was really cute and I love all the small details, like the little wind lines when the ball moves or its little squish when it lands on the platform. again super cool
Amazing game! I loved all the little animations and particle effects, it felt really satisfying every time I went through a barrier. This is definitely going to be one of the top games of the jam. Keep up the great work in round 2!
WAIT THIS WAS MADE IN ONLY A WEEK?! GEEZ DUDE YOU'RE AMAZING!
Haha thanks but no I actually did use most of the two weeks. I submitted early but I continued adding things up until the last day or two before submissions were due. Really appreciate the kind feedback. Glad you liked it :)
Okay, DANG that is so awesome that it works beautifully on mobile. Huge dev props from me! I played it on mobile and loved it. The super simple but super effective expressions on the character actually made me giggle. This may look like an "easy to draw" little pixel game on the surface, but I for one think it's a lot more subtle and intentional once you take a closer look. My only suggestion would be to spend more time putting polish into the game image (icon? splash image? I never know what that thing is called haha) and the start screen. I thought those were a little rushed looking compared to a very tuned little game. I'm a little worried that people might react negatively to pixel art in a graphic challenge... but in my opinion this game 100% deserves to advance. HEY JUDGES IF THIS ONE SOMEHOW DOESN'T MAKE IT THROUGH, GIVE IT THE WILDCARD PLEASE! :D Super great work.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and glad you liked it! I can't take credit for the mobile support. The engine I used is pretty awesome. All I had to do was add mouse controls which automatically translate into touch controls on mobile. Very good points about the images needing some more polish. Definitely something I need to work on and I appreciate the honesty.
Loved this game simple yet very pleasing, visuals and music went hand in hand !!! Good work
Fun game! Simple and charming, easy to controls. The only annoyance in the game is the collision, but that's a minor issue since moving it can adjust and get the player out. Good game!
Just curious could you expand on what you mean about the collision?
Really nice visuals ! Game is simple yet fun. You really nailed the juice and reward, made the game really satisfying to play. Congrats !
I really loved this! Tons of juice, solid gameplay loop, great sound effects, all around a REALLY solid entry. Great job!
Fun little game with lots of visual juice. I like the little scene and music at the end. Well done!
Great game with a great art style. Very fun.
The best spectacle of all, fireworks… YAY! :) the game is really addictive and I just wish there was some randomization or even some more levels… I really like how progressivly more and more fireworks are being shot out and the music just ties this into a pretty awesome game
Thanks! I agree I kept the game short for the sake of the jam but it could definitely be expanded on. The holes in the walls are randomized. Glad you liked it.
The game is very polished, I'm liking the effects and those last 10 seconds really build up to the ending
Super juicy with awesome visuals. Nice one :)
Pretty simple gameplay, but all the visuals are incredible! The whole game feels very polished and the audio fits really well. Cool game!
Such a fun experience. Made me think of a nyan cat game I used to play a lot back in the day. A perfect submission for the theme. It screamed spectacle from every fiber of its being. 10/10 job!
Pyxel?! Brings me back to my Pygame days hahaha. Amazing polish, the squishing of the ball really brings it all together!
Fun, made me smile at the end. For such a simple sytle, it looks great. Pefect for the theme.
Nice job. it felt really polished and fun to play. i found myself counting down outloud the last 5 seconds and i dont even do that for the real new years!
The art style is so nice, and all of the particles and animations are amazing!! Such a fun game to play, challenging but not too difficult, and you implemented the theme + modifier very well! :)
This is a great, juicy little game that's a ton of fun to play. Pretty challenging at the end, as well. You nailed both the theme and the modifier. Great job, and best of luck in the round!
