Bouncy Ball Kingdom by pta2002

made by pta2002 for LD32 (JAM)

You play as Barry, a happy kid that is not so happy. He received two birthday presents, one of them was awesome, but the other... not really.
The awesome one is a bouncy ball gun, that allows you to place bouncy balls wherever you want, the other one was that he got lost. He wants to go back to his family, and to do that, he needs to use his bouncy ball gun!

----------------

Controls:
A/Left arrow - Move left
D/Right arrow - Move right
Space - Jump
Click - Spawn bouncy ball at mouse position

---------------

Problems: derps are too derpy, very small level

Hum, my problem is that the controls are too stiff and I didn't get it what is the porpuse of the bouncing balls. o.0
Because, if they are meant to be used as platform for example, it didn't work on the crates area.

I agree, the controls are much too slow. Try making the character smaller and faster :)

Hmmm what was that? Kind interesting I guess, but weird too, haha.

Very peculiar, not bad, but strange. I hung from the ceiling by my forehead.

This was so much fun! I loved just playing around with the bouncy balls. When I discovered I could send myself upwards by spawning balls beneath my feet I was ecstatic. Even though it was weird, I actually liked the ending. It was surreal seeing the giant bouncy ball and all my clones cramped in there. Great job!

Thanks to everyone! This was my first ever game and I though LD was a good way to begin :) Glad you liked it! Oh, and the bouncy balls are used to move stuff out of the way and to use as platform.

It's a pretty hard game.
And the bouncing balls didn't despawn as soon as I died (by falling) This was pretty difficult because the blocked me xD
The physics are good tho.
