A little too easy, but still nice

Haha that was awesome. Really liked the art and how it looked overall. The sfx was great and fit very well. The gameplay was very fun. Really liked how you put it all together.

Submitted

Great game! the puzzles were very enjoyable and atmosphere was on par.

Submitted

Good job!

Submitted

Interesting puzzle with simple rules but a lot of depth! Good job!!!

Submitted

Very awesome bowling but the bowler is bowling me I am a fan

Submitted

A great interpretation of the theme, though the physics sometimes felt a little explosive at times! Very fun and satisfying when it works though.

Submitted

A puzzle game! Wow I am bowled... npi! Check out ours too if you got  time to "spare"!

Submitted

I was really pinned down on some of those levels, I had no more ideas to spare.

Cute and original puzzle game! I never thought a bowling game could have this much depth. I just wish the rotation didn't reset every time I moved a block haha (I'm probably just not good enough!)

Submitted

Fun puzzle game with a lot of variety, great job! I really liked that you didn't just limit it to something simple like angling the ball with walls, but went all out on finding creative ways of knocking pins down.

Submitted

Really well made and a fun idea. Sometimes annoying that the bounces vary between tries, but it also meant that I could brute force my shitty solution without changing a thing xD

Submitted

This is a really  neat little puzzle game! The graphics and music pair really well together and create an immersive atmosphere. I was hooked right away and had a lot of fun playing through the levels. The ramp mechanic was my favorite. You have also set yourself up to easily add more levels in the future if you want to.

Very unique, I enjoyed the art style and physics, my only critique would be for the pickup system to remember the rotation of the blocks when picked back up, as I found the rotation was a little slow when all I needed was to adjust the block by a few degrees. Other than that great work! I would certainly play a full game with these mechanics

Submitted

Really cool game, could be quite difficult at times but it was fun to figure out the solution

Submitted

One of the best games of this concept I've seen! Had a lot of fun trying to find the silliest solution! 

Submitted

A great game overall, and the graphic is stunning. 

But, I have noticed a bug in which if you place the pins at the very edge of a gap, it would just fall down the gap. If you do it for all of the pins, and then press Play, it would just consider it a strike.

Ah, good old non-deterministic Unity physics XD The game is still quite fun despite the fact that each run is slightly different.

I found myself hooked quite quickly. I really liked how easy it was to change the setup and try again and again and again. The sound design is done well too - it's subtle but effective. My only complaint is that because of Unity's physics I had a hard time setting up the walls to change the trajectory of the ball. You could try increasing the # of solver iterations which might impact the performance a tad but would make it more deterministic. Or maybe you could change trajectory by using some other clever trinket.

Submitted

Creative concept and well executed! I found it quite challenging but I appreciated the tutorial levels so I knew exactly how to play when it came to the first level. 

Great job :)

Fun game! Wished the wall's rotation was saved before it moved though seeing how there's a lot of trial and error with the game.
