RollingBall by ottohak

[raw]
made by ottohak for LD35 (COMPO)
My Entry RollingBall is a ball game where you have to roll as far as possible. This is my fist LD game and I think I could made it much better.

I streamed most of the development and had a lot of fun!

Android Version is experimental, please rate the PC Version.

I had no chance to test the Linux and Mac builds.

I love it! This can definitely be expanded upon! I can see it as a pretty infuriating, yet popular mobile game. Great work!

The camera almost gave me motion sickness. othe than that, it was pretty solid. I got 916 points.

Good idea but need many improvments

Speed growths too fast, but fun overall

A nice and an expandable idea definitely. You always want to try more.

Great idea, but I find it a bit too difficult to play. As your first LD-game it is great. Well done.

I see "shape" but no "shift."

Not a bad game once I figured out how to play well enough to stay in there for a minute without dying. Once I (finally!) got past 500 I catapulted all the way to my current high score: 1117. Take THAT, Blobo!

So: nice job, but I don't see how it fit the theme.

First congrats on your first LD game.

The speed ramps up too quickly. You should start the player out slower gradually make it start moving faster.

There should be more feedback when the player dies. It seems like touching the edge of the ground kills you. If this is not the case then let the player fall of the edge for 2-3 seconds before respawning them.

Those are my 2 bits of advice for you. You have a nice game here. I hope to see you back next LD!

I had fun playing this. I do have a few issues:

- The ball's colours were a bit distracting
- The speed was a little too high. You could start out slow then accelerate the further the player goes.

It was getting too fast too quickly. Good first try though.
