My thoughts are based on playing the WebGL version solo:
-
The transitions to and from the title screen look very polished
-
Nitpick: You can see the edge pixels of the boxes surrounding the title screen text sliding back and forth. I think this happens on every sprite it’s just harder to notice
-
Entering the names of your team’s players is a very cool feature
-
The typing sound effects hurts my ears
-
Nothing spectacular about the art but it works well for this game
-
Really good music
-
Good tutorial
-
The controls are simple to pickup yet hard to master
-
The slowmo effect and the squash and stretch animation upon hitting the ball looks really good and makes it feel really impactful and satisfying
-
I’m a huge sucker for upgrades so I got really happy when I saw the upgrade menu popup. I was a bit confused with what some of them do though and what the little boxes to the side of them meant
-
I don’t know if this is intentional or not but you can grip to the wall like this:
- The AI can get pretty challenging and I think that’s a good thing. My favorite match was when we were just one off from each other because I was constantly on edge
-
I realised after my second match that the upgrades change the color of your rings/body which I think is a really cool touch. Although it would be difficult to remember, you definitely could find out what upgrades your opponent has and use that to strategise
-
I don’t understand when the ball powerup happens (when it glows and turns a greeny yellow kind of color)
-
After my third match I was moving about in celebration which led to me picking random upgrades by accident
-
I love how you call the achievements a “TODO” list
-
I have no idea how to get the “Win solo” achievement. On my first attempt I moved my left character to the far left wall so that he wouldn’t bother me. I won by only swinging the right character but I didn’t get it. I tried again but this time I didn’t touch any of the left character’s controls at all and even won 5-0 but still didn’t get it
-
Overall, very solid game. Well done!
Edit: I just noticed that apparently “The characters also have a special attack that can only be performed together” but I never noticed this. Is this related to the ball powerup I mentioned earlier?
