Ball-O-Ball by Mohagged

made by Mohagged for LD32 (JAM)

#version update:
- changed the input instructions to show keyboard buttons as well
- bug fix in level 2

#info:
- Xbox controller recommended
- you can return to the menu level everytime pressing Start+LB+RB (or Esc+LeftArrow+DownArrow)
- you can skip level by using a different gate in the menu level!

Well... a simple game, where you kick a ball around to kill stuff or collect stuff. Like football (soccer).
Made with the intention of using a gamepad! Though, keyboard is mapped, too.

// Gamepad (highly recommended!! also mapped to Xbox gamepad)
Left Stick : walk
[A] : pass/bringing ball forward
[X] : shoot
[LB] : stop ball
[RB] : dribble
[Start] : Start

// Keyboard
WASD : walk
Ctrl : pass/bringing ball forward
Space : shoot
Down Arrow : stop ball
Left or Right Arrow : dribble
Escape : Start

Also: Stop+Dribble+Start will bring you back to the menu stage!

My very first game Ludum Dare as well as my very first game. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed this LD!

You'll need to host the web files somewhere where they can be run - ie kongregate or gamejolt or some website hosting provider.

Its interesting concept, however i could not figure out the keyboard controls. the Y or the X did not work :)

ah! damn. yes, the control instructions are meant for the gamepad. I only added the keyboard settings at the end and forgot to apply the text accordingly >_<!

Seems pretty fun even though my controller wasn't working so well with the game.

Cool concept! I got stuck in a pink creature though... It says Hold X to charge but it doesn't seem to charge >.< don't know if I'm playing it wrong...
Anyway great job!

good concept, but:

*Controls were displayed for XBOX without any sort of controller plugged in
*The game didn't meet the theme in my opinion.
*On the second part of level 1 I walked backwards and fell off of the map.

It was really hard to controll and the keys in the tutorial didn't do anything. The key i could figure out was space to shoot

thanks everyone for the input! appreciate it!
I edited the instruction text to show both (xbox) gamepad buttons as well as keyboard key.

I was having trouble getting my xbox controller to work with this game (it's working with some games and not others, I think it might be a unity webplayer problem), but other than that great game!

This is really cool. The only things I think need improving are the jump mechanics and some sort of camera turning. Otherwise change the level design to cater to a static camera.

The basic concept is fun and somewhat innovative, but I feel like the controls are a bit too complex. The ball can also get lost in an inconvenient spot and then it's a lot of trouble to get it back.

cool graphics/audio. Would rate you super high for audio if I could. The controls (granted, was playing on a keyboard) were frustrating and the mechanics seems unintuitive and unclear

Really nice concept, but tank controls are not really nice, but nicely made game.

I never thought about a football as a weapon.I really like that idea.
