How does your game fit the theme?
It's a bowling game but you play as the pins, and you need to dodge the bowling balls. The unique cast of characters and powers that the player would usually have is instead stacked against you, the player.

Loved this game.
Amazing concept, art, sound and control. Amazing that this was made in 48 hours.
Astounding what can be achieved in 48 hours. I can see this on Steam. I want to see this on steam :)
Amazing art, and fun to play! Love the jump animation of the pin. Great work overall!
Awesome game, creative, enjoyable and great art. Well done :D
I love the designs of these sprites!
Great game play, good difficulty, you guys did an amazing job!
Only thing was the music for the main menu glitched and stuttered sometimes but that's being nitpicky.
I can't describe with words how amazing this is. Damn.
So, it's the best game, what I played ever. The idea of the game, the music, and the visuals are great.
Thank you for creating this game.
Professional gaming
Thanks for your comment, I'll be sure to pass it on to the others on the team! I loved your game as well!
The art was really good :D, but it was a bit hard to understand at the start, really fun and addicting
This is really polished, and the gameplay is pretty addicting. Great job!
Very good art and polished game. Game design could use one or two things to make it a stellar game, but for a game jam game it was really top notch.
Amazing gameplay, cute design, and holds a lot of potential for expansion later on!
Couldn't beat the extra cycle, but appreciated the variety of characters and attacks. You should all feel proud about what you have made:) Great job!
What a strike of a submission! I'm absolutely dumbfounded by the sheer amount of creativity displayed here! I would've never guessed this game was put together in under 48 hours! I don't know if I was simply getting better at the game, but the third circuit (with the exception of the last bowler) felt significantly easier than the second one, and at times the rng felt a little unfair, but those complaints are completely overshadowed by the quality of this entire experience! Awesome job y'all!!!
Thank you so much! We plan on doing some patches + adding an endless mode after the rating period, appreciate the feedback :D
This game is absolutely incredible! The slowing down mechanic makes the game super satisfying to play and the bowling pin sound effects are just chefs kiss. One of my favs this jam for sure!!
Thank you very much!
I’m impressed by the amount of content in this game for 48 hours! Art is very nice and varied, and I quite liked the bullet time when you go to move. I wish the pin could jump just a little further to allow for those last-second dodges. I can see this game as a full release, very cool!
Really cool game! The music, art, idea, and gameplay are all awesome. You created a lot of content in 48 hours as well. It's fun how the bowling ball abilities so closely resemble the characters. I could see this being released as a Steam game if you made even more content!
Love the art style!
Love the art style!
Beyond comprehension.
This feels like a full game. Great coherent visual style. Controls feel great. Encountered a few small bugs but nothing game breaking. Some waves felt a bit overwhelming but progressing is still perfectly doable with how the scoring works.
Top contender for sure.
Thanks for the heartfelt comment! Shame about the bugs but we're hoping to fix those + maybe add an endless mode after the jam scoring is over!
Really good-looking and fleshed-out game for a jam
Really fun ! Good level of challenge, couldn't beat the game but didn't feel impossible, maybe I'll give it another try later :) Character and animations are really cute as well
