So this is essentially Jerry's Game but I need to click on the same balloon many times just to get 1 point, making things harder.
It is engaging, but not so much for me to keep playing till I get to 100 coins.
good idea and it fit well with the theme, but not my kind of game to play.
Oh, I actually didn't know about Jerry's game, thanks for the review!
Nice little game, I can see the Bloons TD influence here, but where you are the one manually popping balloons! I loved the music too (don't know if you made it ir if it's an asset), and the colorful esthetic.
There is a bug, however, where you can keep popping balloons even after the game ends, by clicking on balloons at the side of the screen, and therefore farm money without ever losing lives from the "game over screen".
Other than this little bug fix, I'd also suggest that you make balloons movr slower at the start of the game, and gradually get faster later on in the game so that runs become harder snd harder not only because balloons get more and more layers, and this would makr the game stay challenging even after you max out your level from the main menu.
I'd also popping animations to balloons and maybe a better indicator to show you when you lose one life (for example a mild white screen flash).
The game was very fun, it's also playable on mobile and there I'd say it's even more enjoyable! Good job overall!
Yeah, I am aware of the bugs but I didn't have much time so I didn't fix them and probably won't unless I release it for mobile. Aaand thanks for the comment!
I'm not sure whether I played that correctly but I haven't madly clicked that much in ages! Thank you for participating in the jam!
Thanks for reply!
The game's simple but quite fun, its like jerry's game but if it's good
I guess my only problem with this is the UI doesn't seem to be centered correctly and when loading the game it put into the wrong resolution, so I wasn't able to see important gameplay mechanics like the upgrade system or the health until I played it in fullscreen
If you have problems with the UI and need the game to be a very specific resolution to be launched in a web build, perhaps you can try to make games like these fullscreen only?
overall I think the gameplay is great and the music and art are pretty nice as well. Just that the UI might need some work and polish
