Pretty clever and fun gameplay... throw the pins into the path of the bowling ball! There's some strategy involved too, even if the pins are out of the path, there a chance of lining other pins so that they could hit them! The physics work great, wonderful programming! The interface is clean and intuitive! Very well done! Can't believe it's your first game too! Full marks! :D

Thank you so much!

Unique idea, I liked the artwork and sfx. It was difficult at first, but with practice you start to recognize how much force to give the pins to make them go into the right area. I enjoyed that it had a little difficulty, great job!

It has potential. It nees to be balanced, spiced, and it will be a really good game.

Very fun and a great idea, with some polishing on the controls and some diversity, I'd love this on a phone. 

Developer

Thank you! Maybe one day I can get it on there :)

Fun game, maybe some more level diversity could've been cool (Like a moving wall or something else in the way) but very fun :D

Obstacles that make placing pins harder was on the list but I wasn't able to squeeze it in! Thanks for playing :)

Cool idea!

Not easy, and fits the theme well. Liked it!

Well done.

Wow, placing the pins was hard, especially how to bounce them around if you miss placing one in the path. Getting the ball to hit every pin is satisfying, but not sure if it has any effect or just makes the game go longer? Had some strange bounces happen where a wall would bounce the pin back in the reverse direction instead of reflecting. Overall, fun concept, but a bit on the frustrating side as you try to correct the misplaced pins.

I hear you. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to fix a lot of the bugs, including the game extending inconsistently and the weird wall bouncing. I am pretty happy with the concept though so I plan on polishing it up after the jam. Thanks for playing!

nice game. When they rolled over and hit others, that was satisfying.

Developer

Thanks!

Awesome game. I loved this. It was a great take on the theme and honestly really addicting. I almost got a perfect frame in my first round. Really good job.

Developer

I actually started to find it addicting while I was testing it haha! Thanks for playing!
