I really enjoyed playing Benchwarmer Billy! Hitting the balls back was a really fun, though I do wish that the enemies got stronger as the game progressed since at a certain point I felt like I couldn't lose. Besides that great game!
lool nice game, I particularly liked the story and the gameplay. Maybe smashing people with the bat could be more satisfying if they had a fancier animation with blood or splattery stuff, just my opinion, good job overall!
Great job! I was clicking quickly to try to kill a mob and accidentally picked a random powerup. I also had one of those ball spitting mobs spawn on top of me and do damage to me.
Hitting the ball back was a neat mechanic but it was a little hard to tell if it did anything to the enemies
Loved the simple gameplay! It feels great to hit the balls back and watch it damage multiple enemies. I do think more enemy types would be good but this is solid start! I enjoyed playing.
I like that you can hit the baseballs back at the enemies. Its a cool marriage of battle game mechanics and sports game mechanics.
Good gameplay! Increasing the variety of enemies in the game, with different types of attacks and unique upgrades for the player, it can become a pretty great game.
The game mechanics were well implemented, with a good story to boot! I did find the two enemy types a bit repetitive, but all in all a great game!
I upgraded the health like 3 or 4 times times and became immortal for some reason and only realised after about 10-15 minutes of playing . I enjoyed playing it though and the story was intriguing. You could possibly turn it into a level based thing and in-between have story moments.
Oh noooo lol. To be honest, the upgrades were a little basic due to lack of time and experience lol. I'd love to create more impactful and balanced upgrades in the future. My last game was very story-focused so I tried for a more action focused game this time, but now I want to tell Billy's story :P
Thanks for the feedback! :)
The same thing happened to me.
Great game. I like the story and gameplay. kinda like vampire survivors. although I wish there was some kind of point system, to track how well I did. but thats just a small detail. I really enjoyed your game.
Good game. Keep it up♥
A points system (maybe a leaderboard?) could be a great addition to the game! I really appreciate the feedback :)
