Themes
When designing the game, I ended up thinking in terms of what would be easy to program. That said, the optional themes weren't a focus, but maybe some of them are in the game a little bit...?????
Tools
Godot felt so easy to use, even when I had to use functionalities that I hadn't before. FL Studio with some old game system instruments made sound effects and main game music really easy and fun to make.
Lessons
In terms of programming, there are many optimizations that can be made that I'll keep in mind for the next project (mostly to do with using autoloads instead of handling everything in one huge, almost unreadable script). In terms of leading a group, I think this game was valuable for teaching how to organize work, assign work, and make space for each collaborator to contribute their own fun twists on the game idea that I wouldn't think of...

Enjoyed the look of the game and the overall vibe! Was a bit confused at first but the aesthetic and style won me over. Controls also worked well and flinging a bowling ball is fun.
Cool game, really like the variations of hazards. Although in some places it is difficult to predict the right direction to throw.
Very stylish!
Funny and fun with a really interesting style, a little rough round the edges but nothing too distracting.
This game actually has a bit of depth if you commit to it. I didn't realise there was a shop until the second playthrough that could have been better portrayed. The pins also seem to move forward after hitting them each round, This seems intentional but a bit difficult to gauge where to throw next, I like the humour and bizzareness to the gameplay. The art seems a bit downscaled but can still feels very newgrounds-like.
Weird, unique and fun! An interesting take on bowling! I like the wacky and glitchy music.
Great little game, very comical. I think it would be worth polishing up and making bigger.
V Rate my swamp plz V
