For me anyway. I like the idea, it's an interesting mechanic to set up all of the trajectories before they all let go simultaneously. And I love the cheesy MIDI electric guitar music!"},{"author_name":"chaosed0","author_uid":"36360","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 10:42pm","epoch":1429569420,"text":"Nice game. A little too hard; feels like you need to play it a couple of times and memorize the levels before you can beat it, since the time accumulates. The music is great."},{"author_name":"ManicMiner","author_uid":"50892","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:48pm","epoch":1429638180,"text":"The idea is actually pretty good but the time limit and fail state make it too frustrating to play, really. Nice effort and I think the core gameplay could be a lot of fun, but what is the time limit and the &quot;back to the start&quot; actually adding to the game?"},{"author_name":"Teesquared","author_uid":"35091","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 6:09pm","epoch":1429639440,"text":"@ManicMiner Great feedback. With no timer, you play thru once and are done. The idea behind the timer was that once you know a level strategy you pass thru it quickly. The max playtime is 20 + 5*10 = 70 seconds so it plays quick and does feel rewarding when you finish. And you should feel a little uneasy too (terrifying dungeon...). But yeah I totally see the frustration element. :("},{"author_name":"OnlySlightly","author_uid":"1959","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 4:22am","epoch":1429762620,"text":"really cool mechanic. Great job on the level design and crafting puzzles :)"},{"author_name":"WiErD0","author_uid":"37149","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 4:33am","epoch":1429763280,"text":"Really cool idea, but I find it WAY to hard. It might be that I am just terrible at timing and predicting trajectory, but I feel like it starts off at a difficulty that should be at least 5 levels in. Cool music and art, though, if a little simplistic (but its LD, so everything is simplistic!)"},{"author_name":"gillyadrien","author_uid":"52777","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 6:27am","epoch":1429770120,"text":"Very fun game, pretty challenging though. That's never a bad thing as long as it feels fair. Maybe allow the player to get some time back when they hit a monster? That way they at least get &quot;something&quot; and are not tooooo frustrated.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I couldn't get past level 5, but great job!"},{"author_name":"Omiya Games","author_uid":"20557","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 1:13am","epoch":1429837680,"text":"Unfairly difficult!  Despite having a great mechanic, the absurd time limit and difficulty of each puzzles makes it hard to appreciate the game."},{"author_name":"steboots","author_uid":"51802","time":"Apr 26, 2015 @ 12:48pm","epoch":1430052180,"text":"I got stuck on level 2... oops.  I liked the idea a lot, if you could scale the difficulty to be a little gentler, I would've played this game much longer, overall, nice start!"},{"author_name":"Flayk","author_uid":"52364","time":"Apr 28, 2015 @ 1:17am","epoch":1430183520,"text":"The mood was very unorthodox and outworldly, which was refreshing. It wasn't really funny, but I don't think it was trying to be. The audio was catchy, but a bit too repetitive. Maybe bring it down a key? The graphics were okay, but I feel like they were place holders. I think it fit the theme of the jam very well, as the balls were unconventional. I had fun, it was pretty innovative and held my attention. Good work."},{"author_name":"jfraser","author_uid":"53130","time":"May 3, 2015 @ 1:59am","epoch":1430618040,"text":"Hard game, really funny instructions."},{"author_name":"KunoNoOni","author_uid":"6464","time":"May 3, 2015 @ 4:22pm","epoch":1430669820,"text":"Very interesting puzzle game. I agree with the other feedback about the difficulty. You should mention the timer in the instructions as I didn't even know there was one until I got Game Over and I was still planning the path of the balls. Overall it was a decent game with some rough edges."},{"author_name":"Tselmek","author_uid":"48996","time":"May 8, 2015 @ 3:51pm","epoch":1431099960,"text":"Very challenging game, the time restriction is a bit tough sometimes. Interesting mechanics, I didn't know I could defeat monsters with my balls ;)"},{"author_name":"igoramendola","author_uid":"31253","time":"May 10, 2015 @ 6:22am","epoch":1431238620,"text":"Oh, this is pretty cool! Nice mechanics. I played more than 20 times the level 6 before to realise how to beat it hahaha. It is very enjoyable. I like this kind of game."}],"images":["ld32\/35091-aceb368645219c33b95f7d0535cff114.jpg","ld32\/35091-6027e8cea93a4f9def4fc087ea39a2d1.jpg","ld32\/35091-0c4e6a6e37bdc83b292b4c15b99a971a.jpg","ld32\/35091-6d0b856233d46fbb488aeff1c98370f7.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.twistedwords.net\/ld32\/DungeonBalls.swf","text":"Web (flash)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Teesquared\/DungeonBalls","text":"Source (github)"},{"url":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/daDSOLy4Ydc","text":"Timelapse (youtube)"},{"url":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/cJ3aGpUyPq4","text":"Gameplay (youtube) (spoiler!)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"10589","g_author":"35091","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"10623","g_title":"Dungeon Balls","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"859","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/35091-shot0-1429488634.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/35091-shot1-1429488634.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/35091-shot2-1429488634.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/35091-shot3-1429488634.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Dungeon Balls\r\n\r\nSurvive the depths of this terrifying dungeon ... with only your balls.
