"but heavily modified to make it actually fun." well you must have played a different game than i did, because man you have so far to go before its that enjoyable. the aim feels SO wrong like my god, you can't even aim properly the further up the stack gets and YOU CANT COMBINE THE FULL SIZE ORBS TO REMOVE THEM?

you cannot be hitting out with that level of snark when this is so inferior to what you're comparing it to. I will admit the bounciness CAN be fun, but mostly it just throws you off of what you expect to happen, and also the larger orbs are WAY too light compared to the small ones

yeah its still not exactly fun. though id say the gameplay is a million times less frustrating. art work could be better though

Heh, this is the first time I really tried something like this, the next girls look better I think (I hope). Is there anything you'd suggest in terms of fun apart from what itchuser22 said?

hmmm...not sure. i think the big thing is, its just gets too hard to keep it going after awhile. not a great way to deal with the problem areas with just shooting a "blow up" "ball" with the same gravity physics

if i could just aim exactly where i want it to go, passed other orbs, that would help alot. like just planting a bomb, instead of shooting one

as it is. after awhile, there are just too many orbs stick unfused between other orbs. basically everywhere. and sometimes i can make some progress but usually its just overwhelms. obviously thats just how the game works. not that it shouldn't. but i find its just a little too hard to keep it going.

maybe i haven't play it enough though. i just dont like the art very much, so i dont have alot of motivation

Sorry, I wrote that description in 2 minutes and forgot that fun is relative. My issue with OOO was that the lack of bounciness made for a pretty... lifeless experience. I'll work on the aiming, and the bounciness.

As for the max size orbs: firstly, there's the little green orbs with arrows that destroy the first orb they collide with. Maybe I made them too rare? Secondly, I thought that [not allowing max orbs to be combined] would be kinda necessary for the game to end at some point. Or maybe it would be better to make endless gaining possible and easier?
