Nice game, could totally worked as an ultra casual mobile game!
I like the concept! I never thought I'll see a bowlling game hahahaha
Nice idea . It's very funny !!!
Interesting idea! I would love to see more added!
Great game! Discovering movement was a big life changer, also i'm in love with pins aesthetics, thanks for great time!
Really fun idea, and I loved the little thunks of the pins falling down. The movement was a bit slippery for me, but overall I had a lot of fun!
This is simple and fantastic, good Aesthetics n.n
This was a lot of fun! Finally, a chance for the bowling pins to strike back!
I thought this was a lot of fun. I played a few times and when I was done noticed the info about how to move 😅. I then played again and it was a lot easier and I got to see more of the pins evolving! Really nice work!
omg. so many comments about movement makes me feel so guilty for not explaining it in game :D
nice physics, responsive controls, solid gameplay loop
pretty fun :)
Wow, that's not the usual one. Nice
I find the 3D excellent. I learned too late that movement was an option.
I'm not sure about theme or originality but does it matter when the game is fun ?
Yeah. My original idea was that you would have limited number of balls that you would have to pick up from corners and they would return back to you after rolling off edge (like in real bouling) and they could be individually "evolved" into different types of balls. But I quickly realised I won't have time for any of that :(
Maybe after the Jam ends.
What I can say is that you have a pretty and well-working basis to build your final game upon. Congrats for submitting something that work and is fun to play.
Cool idea and nice graphic
Thanks!
Cool game, especially considering everything except sound assets was made by you. The textures look really nice. Is the player an infamous among us reference?
The player movement is a bit floaty, feels like you are applying force to a body - but in a game like this i'd expect movement to the more 'constant' if that makes sense.
In the later stages of the game when there's a lot of pins, it can be hard to process visually where to shoot the next ball - since standing pins are mixed in with knocked over pins. Maybe a color adjustment to the knocked over ones would have helped draw the players focus to where there's still standing ones?
Thanks! I will try your idea about coloring knocked pins.
Not really Amongus reference. More like run out of time for player model :)
Simple game, yet very fun😂
I didn't know I could move left and write, an in-game control scheme would be nice, but its a nice concept. Good job!
Thanks! Was hoping description onn page would be enough and I could focus on other game features. I'm not very good at maniging in 3 day Jams :(
