Well, I tried. The game was fun and super intense! I died to my own blade A LOT, and have to sit straight to play. XD
I found it a bit hard to control the direction of the blade, not sure if the actions're cursor-based will help.
Thanks for playing and good score :)
nOIce game! Hope to see you in GMTK 2025!
Top marks on this my man, perfect little idea for a game. Well done.
Thanks for playing :)
Love the fact I thought the bullets were things that'd fill my special meter because they seemed to drop when they died! I was wrong clearly XD.
Awesome game tho oof! The music for inspiration makes sense now :')
Fun game! Good way of explaining the many buttons in a practice mode.
Amazing game !!! crisp controls, visuals and very fun
Other than needing some slight tuning, I found this game to be absolutely wonderful!
Had a ball, felt like it was the 90s again. Terrific. Feels like it could become a full game like smash TV. Lots of potential in this little bouncy simulator here :D
Really Awesome game, I'd say it builds up very fast and hard to control near the end. Maybe create a larger arena and have more enemy variety.
Great Game nonetheless
Great concept, but the controls are way too frustrating to me :x You could have use LMB to strike, RMB to dodge and space for the ultimate attack. I still managed to use it once, to them died miserably :/ If I tried more I could get used to the controls but if feels unnatural. Great game overwise! Love the scaling of the music and the sounds.
Great concept with a clever juggle of the three main things you need to do to survive.
Really satisfying game! I'm pretty bad so I couldn't get far enough to use the special a second time but I definitely enjoyed it!
The only thing that felt a bit off was that sometimes I'd hit the sawblade and end up dying
This is great combination of bullet hell and tennis game. Simple mechanics but very polished!
love this game idea and feeling ,wish for more content of this game to play ,kind of hard at begin
Another high octane pig classic!
I think this game really encourages a "just move" mentality and that's hard to create.
Really great game. Was a bit challenging to get the hang of with the control scheme at first but ended getting around 10k high score after around 10-15 mins of play? (honestly didn't time it)
I don't know if the sawblade should explode or something but it just seems like there's no real reason to ever care that it's the max size, honestly it's even kind of a good thing to keep it that high.
I like the special move addition, if I played even more i feel like I'd eventually learn to take advantage of it more effectively but in my limited playthrough I tended to just use it as a panic heal button more than anything else.
Presentation was the typical Piggy affair, so can't comment on it too much other than well done!
The special move was kinda designed to be a panic button lol.
I did want to have something specific happen when the sawblade is at max size, but felt like it might be too much for someone to keep track of, on top of everything that's already there.
Anyway, thanks for playing and great score :)
Fun game!!
[Day 3 Voting] Best game of the day. Fuck what a great vibe.
How can such a small paddle yeet such a giant saw blade?
Somewhat hard for me but really fun and juicy, as usual.
My only complaint is that I think the direction of the saw after you hit it should depend on your relative position, not on the movement keys you’re pressing at the moment. Or, if you add mouse controls, on the cursor position.
Sick game!
Like always with your games, it's brutally hard but super fun and addicting! xD
Most of the times I died before even getting to the yellow enemies phase but sometimes I died right before the special got charged up lol
