the gfx were good. 2006-era shockwave game good. this wasnt strictly out of control, there was no control. there is no basis from which to guess so what is the actually game part?
This was fun! The visuals were great, the physics were pretty wonky, which works well for the theme. It would be pretty cool if the game kept track of your tickets, so there's somewhat of a risk of losing them if you're too far off.
This is really good! =)
Thanks for playing, Nick! We actually had an idea for all those tickets...your very own prize table that you could spend on collecting things! But I dig the risk of losing them aspect, will have to keep that in mind if we work on this idea further. Cheers!
This was a fun, silly little game! The physics seemed a little wonky because the balls were so floaty, but they were still mesmerizing to watch. Cool concept!
Thanks for playing our game, much appreciated! Glad you had some fun! :)
No problem! We'd love your feedback on our game as well! SpaceBus
The visuals were amazing. And I think your idea really fit the theme. Just wish there was a bit more to do than guess.
Our artist friend is just awesome so we'll let her know you liked her style. We were toying with the idea of a pinball machine flapper type mechanic and some other player controlled ideas but just ran out of time (as is the way with jams sometimes!)...Thanks for playing and leaving some feedback, much appreciated!
Not much more than gambling.
Marbles <3. I got 20 tickets for guessing correctly \o/. Guessing 0 or 1 seems like a good strategy. Would be cool if you started out with say 5 tickets and playing a game costs a few tickets.
One of the original ideas was that players would get to buy stuffed animals with the tickets, but we clearly scrapped that idea. We thought that keeping the tickets in would be a nice way of giving something extra than "yay, you guessed correctly" :P
Fun to watch the marbles go thru the level, but wish there was something to do while watching, such as hitting marbles with flappers (like in a pinball machine) to try to get or prevent them from reaching the end, so you can get the score you guessed
we did discuss that at one point!! but we wanted to make sure we would be able to submit in time so we scrapped it and left the fans in for the vertical movement ^^
ah time constraints, I can relate :)
marbles get stuck
Great take on the theme! Very reminiscent of carnival games that are complete luck and rigged against you. I feel like this is a game that would be a mini game in zelda. Nice job! :)
that was basically the idea :D we had put a lot less marbles at the beginning and there was less pushing which led to a lot of "that one should have definitely gone in!!"
at the end we decided it would be too frustrating and put three times the marbles to make it go faster :)
So beautiful, I want more in this world you've created!
Thank you...We do too! :)
