Crazy Ball Demo

ok so i will sell this game whenever i finish…i hope you enjoy it and tell me what you think!..also tell me what would be a good price for it :)…thanks videogame developers -Goatria play the demo here http://www.kongregate.com/games/Goatria/crazyball-demo-by-goatria

Needs a lot more polish atm. Here’s some critique:

  1. The graphics need a lot more love. They’re not consistently styled, and don’t feel professional yet.
  2. It’s pretty unforgiving for a casual game; that first real level requires a pretty fast judgement of when to remove certain objects, and I couldn’t complete it after 5 tries, which is my limit for this kind of gameplay. I really think you need to work on the difficulty ramp a lot more; see Save Toshi for an example of how to make it nice and easy at first. For casual games like this, you can never, ever make the early levels “too easy”.
  3. Really should have a real walkthrough for a level or two, taking players through concepts and mechanics.

I don’t think it’s anywhere near ready to sell yet, honestly.

hey thanks for your comment :)…i really love when people is honest!..maybe your “5 tries” are more for others…but this comment will help me in some way…this is the first kinda bad comment i receive from a user…but this will not put me down…it will inspire me more…thanks for playing and commenting! -goatria
btw…i never said i was professional

Or maybe I just suck at these games. Keep that in mind :slight_smile:

I thought Save Toshi was very well designed, in terms of difficulty; I felt challenged about a quarter of the way through, and found it pretty easy to get through most of the game, but fairly hard to get 3 and 4 stars on all of them. Try that out for 15 levels or so, and try for all the stars, and you can see what I meant. IDK how well their controls would translate to iOS, but on the Web, it worked very well.

This was a lot harder right off the bat, and totally unforgiving, i.e. you must click within a few pixels on each object, with very little leeway in terms of timing, to win. That’s probably a little too challenging for the first real level.

I was hooked when I played that. It did take more than 5 tries of course, however I did find that fun.

thanks guys!!! really appreciate the comments!!!..well…
@xenoragh - hehe…well maybe i will change the difficulty of the first levels :)…like make easier ones an put them first
@ gamenut -thanks!!! glad you liked it!

I agree with the others, it needs more polishing. One thing that I noticed is that objects can move along the z-axis, since the gameplay is supposed to be 2D maybe you can make the objects move only along the x and y axes. That being said, I found it pretty fun.:slight_smile:

thanks!! :smile:…ill find a way to make them move only on the x axis :)…but im glad that yall like it!!! :smile:

Addicting

:smile:…thanks!!!..im thinking of realeasin for free the first day after that i wanna sell it!!! :)…but idk…be honest guys…if yall think is not worth buyin i will post it completed for free…:)…but please be honest

play this! :smile:

Maybe with a lot of polisinhg it would be worth buying. But honestly, I don’t think my opinion counts too much, I couldn’t even get hooked enough to buy angry birds. :stuck_out_tongue: maybe you could try selling it pretty cheap and see how it goes, if doesn’t work out just release it for free and get your name out there?

yeah…thats a good idea :smile:…thanks Thiago!!

just in case u havent played this…im gonna post this comment so people can see :slight_smile:

by the way, to lock the players position on the X and Y just put a Components->Physics->Configurable Joint and it should have options to lock the Z motion

that didnt work hehe…but thanks…it makes my object have a weird jumpy motion XD…but i kinda like when things fall behind the platform XD

The puzzle designs are pretty good… I would have played on if there were more levels.

thanks Yorick :)…it will have over 50 levels! :)…its gonna take some time tho…since its pretty hard to think of them hehe…also i have to test them and check there is no other way to pass the level…only one way :)…but thanks…glad you liked it…

this game is cool!..play it! :slight_smile:
