Fun music!

Very fun to play, lovely concept and art. Easy to pick up, hard to master. Well done!

Bravo, one of the best games I've played from the jam so far. Simple yet addictive and I like the risk-reward style of play that's encouraged here. Well done guys!

Submitted

Very cute and well done! Definitely created an immersive atmosphere with the controls being displayed as pool rules!

Simple, put polished! I really enjoyed the music, really complimented the poolside setting :)

It might be nice to add on screen point values (like a mini +20 , - 10 or something) for when the ball catches the falling objects or goes underwater, that way the player can know exactly what those things do without having to keep looking at the score, which can break concentration.

Aside from that, great work!

I agree that the scoring system is the most confusing part. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Really polished and great looking, especially for a 48hr jam.  Lagged a bit for me, but I really like the concept and how you have to tailor your movement to the ball!  

Submitted

Very cool graphics!

Really cool use of the physics engine! I like that you can bounce the fruit in the air to save time and how out of control things can get when a lot of fruit are coming. You might try adding a way to reset the paddle ball when it is submerged for too long. Overall, this was really fun!

Very good unique idea. Very challenging too. The models and colors are fantastic, the ball feels very difficult to control though. Fantastic job!

Nice game! it does have a high skill cap but I like it

That was a really fun, and veeery difficult (in a rather good way :D) game! I have no idea how you made the paddle feel so much like real paddle, and I also enjoyed how the score didn't drop directly to zero everytime you dropped it into the water. Well done!

Developer

That's great feedback, thanks a lot

Funny description :D

Graphics is nice, I really enjoyed how aliens looked. I had hard times trying to get the ball out of water, it takes you some effort to keep balance. 

Submitted

Nice game.

Nicely done! An enjoyable little game, I did find it a bit difficult to recover from ball going under water.

Developer

Yeah, we have a fix for that now, and will submit it after the jam.

Beautiful, polished graphics, I love the colors and feel of this game. Awesome job of capturing that lounging/vacation feel, the music and SFX are perfect and really set the mood. Deceptively tough, lol, a really great submission all around!

That music is such a smooth loop.

Submitted

Great summery vibes! The feedback on the paddle was very nice, and the 3D art overall amazing. Great work!

Submitted(+1)

Ok, you had me at the story. Damn those fruit-truck attackers aliens !

Your game was HILARIOUS, I had a blast playing it x). Doing tricks with the ball is awesome, and the general game feel is really cool ! I enjoyed every bounce of that little ball <3 !

Developer

Thanks, man!
