I got to round 14!
Great game! I love the idea! And the game is perfectly readable. Until there's too many balls of course.

It's really polished for a gamejam I think! Congrats!

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Brilliant game! Starts out simple, then becomes exponentially more chaotic. I really hope you develop this further.

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This game is really good with such a great concept. I love how you can still sink the balls in setup mode as it really adds to the pressure. If you continue to improve the game in the future you could maybe implement spin on some balls adding an extra layer of difficulty for the later stages. Overall great job!

Developer(+1)

Spin is a really interesting idea, originally I had planned a ball that would have a curved trajectory, but I ended up not adding it. So maybe post-jam I could play around with that kind of thing! Thanks for the suggestion, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

Well made, super fun, and difficulty increases nicely!! I wonder if a version with an increasing amount of holes - up to 6, would be more chaotic and fun than just the amount of balls increasing? Good stuff!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! That multiple holes thing sounds like an interesting concept, you'd have to have more time to move each one but it is something that I could experiement with post-jam!

Extremely well made and fun! I loved how the difficulty ramped up so quickly as you get further on. And god the sound effects are incredibly satisfying.

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed, especially the sound effects!

Very nice idea and very good implementation. The only problem I noticed is that there is a moment where every position in the board will be touched by a ball, making the game unwinnable.

Very cool mechanics, well done!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully the game shouldn't get to that point as I assume it's probably a game over before then!

What a fun little puzzle game! I didn't get to the end (if there is one), but I really enjoyed what I did play. The balls moving have a really satisfying noise to them too.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! There's no end btw, it's just an arcade style endless mode.

This was a great game! The idea was very creative and was executed perfectly. I especially liked the sound effects of the ball collisions :) The only issue that I have with it is that if you move the hole under a ball while you're in the setup phase, you still lose a life (which makes sense, but it's a teensy bit annoying.) The graphics work very well with the subject matter, and the difficulty curve is well designed! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks I'm glad you liked it! Perhaps I should have explicitly shown that dragging the hole under a ball during the setup phase still loses you a life, however it is definitely intentional because it makes the setup phase more interesting and not as easy as just dragging the hole to exactly where you want it to be.

This is great every way! Only problem The ball drag line is stretched an can look quite odd, but that's fine.  The balls are great. The idea is great. The difficulty is *mmcha* perfect! The 3 lives works well with the bullet hell like fashion game. Overall: Top 100

Developer

Wow thanks for the glowing review! I agree the arrow texture looks a bit odd stretched, but I wanted it to be easy to see that the red ball would go faster without having to draw another texture (it was a bit last minute).
