Cool game.
1, The game is too hard, I know It is a rage game. But It is too hard for a game jam game.
Besides that, cool game.
I would be very happy if you would play my game.
Awesome controls and i have no complains except that it is too difficult for a game jam. I know htis is supposed to be a rage game, but for a game jam game a bit too hard. I hope the feedback helped you, would be nice if you could check out my submission too. :)
The 2 characters are fun to control and the controls overall feel nice. Even though I understand this is supposed to be a rage game, a bit slower difficulty curve would be appreciated. :) Nicely done!
Thanks for the feedback, we will keep that in mind for future updates
Good game and idea, but i think you should have some tutorial section or training level at first. Anyway this is good work!
You can also look at our game too, if you have a time :)
I agree, if we work on this further after the jam, that's something I want to improve. Maybe I should have more explicitly told players to swing at the first block. Thanks for the feedback!
Very smooth controls! I like the mechanic and how you baked the momentum into it. I found the music not very aligned with the rage inducing topic. I also found a bit hard to distinguish between the two balls, perhaps if they were different colours it would be easier. Definitely got some rage going on when bumping into the blocks. Well done!
Thanks! It might make it easier to distinguish if you press H key once, that will leave the controls on top of the balls.
I love your definition "rage game" lol. But seriously it's a good game, nice work!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
This game got me hooked! Definitely rage inducing but in a good way. I never got very far but it was hard to stop playing! I always got sooo close before falling all the way back down
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad to hear you liked it!
Man, this is hard! However, quite fun, the mechanic felt super smooth & good to play! The tutorial was nice & minimal which I appreciated, overall excellent stuff. I managed to get up the first metal rail, but then fell every time after that point. I think this could be a really fun casual rage game if you develop it more, congrats!
If you could rate our game as well, that'd be great.
Sorry for spam comments lol, itch kept telling me it failed to post.
Thanks for checking out our game, glad you enjoyed it.
This was actually really fun to play, definitely lived up to its intention of being a rage game.
Thanks for your comment! I was aiming for rage, glad to hear it works.
Gameplay is super smooth! Kind of feels like Sonic at times. Love the music!
Thanks for your feedback!
Really nice game :)
Really nice game :)
Thank you for the nice comment
Controlling with two hands is really hard, I keep messing up which keys control which ball. Could not get past third brown block, but I love the idea
Thanks for the comment! The controls do take some getting used to, I made it pretty hard, but I'm glad you liked it!
Interesting idea, when you first get over the brown block it is actually really satisfying. Can see some good gameplay that could be worked on in the future ;) Keep up the good work c:
Thankyou for your feedback, imagine the satisfaction if you make it to the end :)
