JuggleSim by mr_tag

[raw]
made by mr_tag for LD26 (COMPO)
JuggleSim is a minimalistic juggling simulator in which you are controlling the two hands catching and throwing more and more balls.

Play it alone and prepare to get your brain whacked (or your hemispheres synced, as you wish :).
Or play with a buddy (one hand each) in coop mode (reach the highest score together!) or in versus mode (don't let a ball slip through on your side!).

Please post your scores! (have you played coop or alone?)

Thanks for playing!

I couldn't get past 300. :P I would think it would be either with co-op/versus though.

This is extremely well-polished and meets the theme very well. The single player mode was fun and a bit frantic to control two separate players at once. I'm sure it would be fun to do with a friend, too. What it really needs is an AI to play against.

Nice concept!
Had to take some time to gain a somewhat good controls of both "hands".
Only tried solo btw.

Great game mechanics. The versus mode was a good move. Can only guess that this gets really fun with another player.

Love this concept. It's got a pretty harsh learning curve (even on easy) but it's rewarding when you get it right. If only I could stop crossing my balls in the air... Well done though, and I especially like the control scheme.

I love it. 1 player makes my eyes part. In a good way.

Okay, this was a *lot* of fun. Really nice extension of the ball and paddle genre. I don't think you can actually knock a ball into the air with a ball you're holding in your hand when you're juggling for real but who cares because this was awesome.

Got 2656!

Cool little game. I like the multitasking required (in solo play) to keep playing for a long time - the constant looking back and forth between hands. Tricky but felt like an achievable goal.

Thanks for not making the balls any faster than they are! ;)

Very cool :) Very smooth gameplay and presentation. A little background music will go a long way later. I wish the balls were a little faster; perhaps they get sped up later into the game?
