Blind Ball by leuhfahn

[raw]
made by leuhfahn for LD28 (JAM)
In this game you catch a ball, then you have only one throw to shoot it to the "out zone". But when you have the ball you can't see anything! I made this game in 5 hours.
(I made this summary at 3a.m and english is not my mother tongue!)

Move with Z,Q,S,D of the arrow keys and click to throw/catch the ball. Be Careful you have only one shot!

hmm how do you throw/catch the ball? When I spawn next to the ball I am not sure what to do. kinda crazy you made something in only 5 hours though.

Cool idea but the controls a bit buggy. For 5 hours this is nice.

Pretty cool! For some reason I could only move left and couldn't pick up or throw the ball so I spent quiet some time trying to roll it into the goal with no sense of direction :P

The movement is really odd can't control it very well and the game is pretty based on it. Nice work though.

Haha, cool! I cannot believe i felt sooo proud to get the ball in the goal. Of course there are a lot of improvements to be made, sound, music, azerty/qwerty switch that also works on a mac, textures on ramps and a win screen. Still, playing this makes me feel like a tiny kid running around with a giant ball. nice! (daring use of comic sans!)

I wasn't able to switch the controls. The mouse movement was too sensitive and the instructions text should be completely visible to the player as soon as they enter.

I beat the first level and then decided that was enough. This is really frustrating.

Controls is little strange... QZSD? Good for arrows :>
I have problems with "catch" ball... Even when I stop ball, I "lose" :c
Made this game in 5 hours? Crazy ;D
But... Interesting idea ;)

Simple game, but well done. I included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) youtu.be/O9M3TIYW4UU

Overall this game needs a bit more work in order to be fun to play. I see what you were getting at, and with some refinement this could turn into a decent concept, but without the polish it makes the game frustrating to play.

Still though, a decent idea! :D

The only thing that your game does is trolling me... in a good way.

I couldn't get a hang of the controls? it felt like I was controlling the camera rather than the ball, which might've been the case.
