This is quite a clever idea that has been well presented.
Very nice game, i love how you put together the sounds and the models. Great job
Nicely done! It's an interesting concept - your goal is the same, but you're achieving it from a different perspective/role. As pointed out already there are a few things to improve like levels diffuculty and object placement, but this can be easily done after the jam. Good job!
(UPD: I would also add a score system where you get points by hitting all pins faster and using less objects)
Very fun to play, great atmosphere. Love the announcer.
NICE STRIKE!
Very nice. Very polished. The only nitpicks I have are that the difficulty spikes pretty hard at the final level & the walls resetting orientation every time you click them makes it hard to fine-tune bounces.
You could absolutely put this on Steam or a mobile app store with a bit more polish & content.
Mobile game type of addiction potential. The camera can be moved with wasd, which should be included in the instructions since you can't play it without moving the camera. It was fun!
Interesting take on a puzzle game. Some feedback: I think the level should be made shorter so that it fits on your whole screen. Really cool.
It would be greatly appreciated if you rated my game as well! https://outercloudstudio.itch.io/fire-swap
man i love golf
Game looks great, quite difficult tho
Great game! I was only able to get through the first few levels, but I think that's more on me than it is on the game. I will definitely come back and try to complete more of the levels later :) The graphics look great and gameplay is easy to understand. However, I wish there was more variation in camera movement (to be able to see the bowling lane from a top down view).
Great game! I think the only thing that bothered me was the "Strike" panel, it's a bit too much intrusive on the screen. Otherwise, nice graphics, nice atmosphere, and also I love the camera angle swap, it's a nice touch.
Really cool idea! fun with good graphics, the only thing I'm a little frustrated about is the rotation that resets when an object is selected. But very good stuff!
Simple concept, but well-executed! Some of the levels were quite challenging but satisfying to figure out :)
Can you teach me how to make games? It's so good!
Really nice idea!
Great game, but the theme implementation is lacking. Good music choice :)
Very simple idea, but very solid and clean execution! This is a good entry all around. I only have a few minor gripes that could probably be fixed with a bit more time. It was quite fun to figure out how to clear levels even though I think I probably used unintended solutions for some of them! I cleared 8 levels before stopping :)
The music restarting every time a new level started did get a bit annoying and there is a lack of a volume slider unfortunately. Also, the physics with the ball were a bit inconsistent, I'm not sure how easy it would be to fix that. However, I did a few tests with the same lane setup and the ball went to slightly different locations each time.
Overall, great entry though!
The game felt very polished and had a clean feel to it. The gameplay itself was enjoyable and I always found myself excited to see what would happen once I started the simulation. I liked the idea of having the bowling lane carry the challenges. Great work!
We had basically the same idea for our games :D
Although what we did with that idea is very different
I really like how your game looks! It took me a minute to figure out what to do, but once I did it was pretty fun.
I think there is a bug where you can place a pin on the far left, right by the ball, where it connects to the area on the left
