How does your game fit the theme?
The player is a member of the Wii Sports bowling audience. Typically, their role is to be a passive observer of the game. However, the bowler is a subpar athlete. The game gradually devolves into a “bullet hell” for the audience, where the player must endlessly dodge a line of increasingly varied and frequent bowling balls. You’re standing in a row of people and the bowling balls will barrel towards you until all have been slain. Objective is to maximize your high score (# of bowling balls dodged).

Very nice, I loved the little "plok" sound the Mii's made when they got knocked over. They really convey the wii sports vibe. I also really liked their faces. Great job!

Oh man the theme is brilliant here. I love your take on reverse bowling. And the wii aesthetic was a great way to introduce a ton of character into it within the timeline bounds. It does seem that ducking doesnt allow you to actually dodge the flying ball, so they always take one of my guys out when its thrown. Regardless its a real cute game with a great idea behind it. Well done.
