Hey this is really fun! I love the robot making fun of me, it's hilarious and cute.
The game looks great visually. I like that you added in some smaller details (for e.g. the little particle effect under the players feet). The music sounds nice, i also like the kinda humorous lines that the A.I. says.
However, i find the A.I a bit too hard. It would be better if you toned down the difficulty of the A.I. by a little bit. I also don't really know how the game relates to the theme of "Collaborate with A.I."
But overall, good game.
This is probably one of the best entries in the jam, I had so much fun with this one. The AI's dialogues made me chuckle multiple times.
Although the game is really difficult, I found you can get in a few shots in a row if you try hard enough.
The jumping feels a bit unresponsive at some points, and the aiming too, but overall amazing work.
I love the particle effects at their feets and the their heads jerking backwards when they move. Might be more fun with Camera shake and freezeframes?
I didn't even think about camera effects! great idea, thank you.
your dad is amazing at music
super fun lil game, the robot was sufficiently annoying to listen to (which i assume was the point)
Good game.
Nice score!
gice game but it doesn't fit the theme very well
gice game but it doesn't fit the theme very well
Fun, but really really really impossible, the AI is way too good (or Im too bad) throwing up is really hard and the voice is really bad, I can't understand it (I only understood when he rousted me: "I was made in 3 days but Im still better than you")
This was a really fun and really unexpectedly hard AI for a basketball game. Probably the most fun I've had in a basketball game honestly ever. It was a really hard time figuring out the AI, I did eventually figure out a few strategies he kept using, but he still puts up a dang good fight. which I honestly was not expecting. Plus if you let em they will absolutely destroy you which is a nice change of pace considering how easy most enemies ten dot be? Though I don't play sports game that much so maybe they're that hard normally ?
Otherwise though the only real "issue" I ran into or improvement I would sort of suggest is that the shots are a little weird. It seems like they're maybe based off the distance to my mouse, but the game doesn't make that super clear, so I ended up doing a LOT of short jump shots when I started playing, I managed to get it down but I was definitely very stuck as to how do it early on.
It's got a really fun system for it though, some nice physics and some quite hilarious moments of the ball just launching across the field.
Overall a really cool concept, that I wouldn't say is collaborating with AI, but damn is it fun even if it isn't. It was a really great experience learning how to beat the AI. I hope that there's more of this maybe?:> I honestly kinda thought that the music "slider" or I guess levels, in the pause menu, might be an enemy difficulty level. I'd be interested to see how that could go if it could be implemented. Though obviously that's not really a thing you can do mid jam so I'm not surprised it's not there.
Honestly I was really terrified it would be there and I would be dealing with a god like AI just demolishing me even more than it already was.
Thank you so much for playing! And yea the force of the basket ball is based on how far away the mouse is, which is something I should tweak for sure. Thanks for all the feedback! Super off topic but for all the people who rated me so I’d rate their games like I said I’ll do in discord I’ll get to it later today :)
I dunked deez balls,great game btw
Going against a hard Bot toxic talking to me while playing basketball wasn't on my wish list, but now I do! So much fun and havoc xD
Actually pretty cool game! fits the theme of this jam with basketball hhmm Botsketball lol
The fact that the robot AI is "S*** talking" me while playing is so funny!
The gameplay itself feels really smooth although I wish that the ball throwing was more consistent.
the animations were really great and the music was fitting to the scenario!
That was so good the AI felt fair not too easy not too hard to the point of rage quitting I played for the longest out of all the 80 something games I have in this jam really good job (:
This is such a great game! In my opinion, it may not be on a topic completely since this is more competing with AI and not collaborating with AI. But it does have a good AI that is for sure! The art style is great, sounds are very good (not the biggest fan of the robot's voice, but it is ok). Definitely one of, if not the best game I have played so far!
Also, it would be awesome if you could play and rate my game as well!
I love this!! Its satisfying, challenging, and the robot is hilarious! After 10-2, 10-3, and 10-5, I FINALLY BEAT THE BOT 10-9!!! I love the art, the sounds, literally everything about it.
Really, really well done.
(for future game jams, try to get your game to be playable in the browser, as people are lazy and don't want to download games. I almost didn't but I'm very glad I did)
Thank you so much for playing and commenting I really appreciate it! Sadly when I got gms2 I didn’t get the version that can export to html5, and now it’s only subscription based (ten dollars a month I think).
oh no! that is annoying. well ig you'll only really get people that REALLY want to play your game, which is kind of a good thing?
OH LOOK AT YOU NOW WHO IS WEAK SAUCE NOW YOU FREAKING DISHWASHER HMMM???
gud gam 4/5
It was extremely hard for me to score until I noticed that you could jump in the net. The main menu thing was cool, (accidentally exited the game twice, since I'm dumb). I like how the robot is being cheeky every time time it slaps my bottom. The footstep and bounce sound was really satisfying to hear, even though it's extremely simple. I would say that it doesn't really fit with the theme, though.
I like it.
Surprisingly intelligent AI, really cool the amount of personality you gave it. You can get it stuck in an infinite loop of doing the same thing and you scoring though. But that's to be expected since you made it in a short period. Great job overall!
