Dart Throw is now in. I'm wracking my brains for others that are within my ability before the close, but I think that's probably the last one.\r\rAs for the physics glitches, I know about them, and I've decided not to further adjust the physics for them. It's kind of fun to play around and get rings linked together and stuff.\r\rI don't think you can edit comments.

When I opened this page, I got a very bad impression from the, to be honest, ugly graphics. So I definitely did not expect there to be a great game underneath that I'd keep playing over and over again!\r\rIt's a very simple game, with mechanics that have been done to death. But it all just works so well it's a lot of fun despite that. This game really has the 'one more try!' factor.\r\rBesides the graphics, I only have two minor criticisms about the game. Though I really like the rest of the audio, the announcer's voice at the start of every try gets very repetitive after a couple of plays. Secondly, and that's only a problem because I really like the game, the randomness is unbalanced and makes scoring unfair. For example, in the ring toss game, any run with a lot of white rings and a front row full of white bottles will have a higher score than other runs. It's even possible to get rings\/balls\/darts of colors that don't exist on the board! It adds a bit too much luck to a skill game, in my opinion.\r\rAlso, something I noticed, not sure if it's a bug or intentional: The high score is registered immediately, not at end of round. If your score decreases at some point (for example, a ring that was barely on falls off), the higher mid-round score counts towards your high score instead of your end-of-round score. This is very noticeable in the ring toss game when you get above 50 points.\r\r\r\rAnyways, a game like this calls for score sharing. To all other commenters: What are your high scores? Mine are 80\/50\/71."},{"author_name":"wccrawford","author_uid":"11376","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 1:30am","epoch":1377566700,"text":"Yeah, I was afraid the audio would get repetitive.\r\rAnd yeah, I'm definitely not an artist. It's one of the things I want to work on before the next LD, but I know I'll need a lot of practice to get better at it.\r\rAs for the unfairness, yeah... I saw all that coming, and I decided that it spiced up the game more than it hurt it. The alternative was to spend a lot of time thinking up interesting layouts and programming in a way to switch between them randomly. Or to make sure there were 2 of each color and leave the rest white.\r\rIn the end, I decided I didn't really have time, and spent my time on the sound instead. The original version I submitted (at around 24 hours in the compo) had no sound at all!\r\rI'm super happy that everyone is having so much fun with this game! 80\/50\/71 is pretty impressive, too."},{"author_name":"SamC","author_uid":"26905","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 1:52am","epoch":1377568020,"text":"Pretty fun game, nice audio :D"},{"author_name":"reostra","author_uid":"27162","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 3:22am","epoch":1377573420,"text":"Fun enough, though the 10 second theme made it a bit frustrating to play and I got tired of hearing that time was a-wastin' pretty quick :)"},{"author_name":"nathanhoffer","author_uid":"25795","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 4:30am","epoch":1377577500,"text":"I love these types of games :) Very fun!"},{"author_name":"bitserum","author_uid":"24347","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 4:25pm","epoch":1377620400,"text":"I liked this, it's addictive.
