Decent score, I think you're first for now. I won't reveal my score because it'll make people feel very bad :D
Interesting idea! Getting the balls to go where you want them to feels inconsistent, but I'm sure it gets easier with more practice. Great polish and great work!
pretty fun! took me a couple minutes of raging to figure out how the batting system worked but after i did i managed to get a score of 41!
if anyone tries to beat my score i will be back o_o
The game looks great and the colour use made it quick to know exactly what to do, really good entry
Feels very polished, great work! took quite a while to get used to the controls and it was quite difficult, never felt unfair tho
One of my favorites for this round. Your games are always nice and juicy. I feel like the ball is a bit hard to hit, but I think that’s just my lack of skills. Both the controller and keyboard/mouse controls felt great. Considering the amount of time you put into this game, fantastic job.
Loved the arrows on the balls for accessibility!
Really nice effects! I really like the idea of the game too. Found it difficult to control but the pattern of where the ball was being hit felt consistent and probably just needs a lot of practice! You made it look easy in your vids! Great job! (Score: 39)
