DeathBall by Andreadbx
Hi, i'm Andrea Di Bartolo, 3d Artist currently working for Shoppe Keep 2, for this ludum dare i tried to develop a game all by myself and with very little coding experience so i came up with Deathball, this game is my first solo entry in ludum dare!
Deathball is a combination between FPS and Football game, in this game evil robots will try to kill you and you can defend yourself only using a football! Score points killing enemies and scoring goals while avoding taking too much damage.

@Andreadbx Have a look at my game. Combinration of Flappy Bird & Tetris
It felt good to freeze that ball on the air and maneuver behind it to get perfect angle to launch it towards enemy face. Enemies tend to explode to pieces quite satisfyingly. Otherwise the game didn't deliver all that much.
It's always good to keep eye on what is actually fun to do in the game, even though it might not be the main goal or the original idea and expand on that. Maybe you could expand on that object throwing and exploding enemies to pieces and refactor your game goal accordingly? It's much more fun to crush the enemies with the ball than push the ball towards inanimate goal for +1 on score board. Go towards what emerges as the most fun stuff during development and you will make great games!
Keep up the good work!
Great job!
The game itself is pretty fun. It is maybe a bit too fast for my taste and occasionally it it hard to hit the ball since it requires pretty good aiming.
Overall, with some gameplay tuning this game could be very neat. Still a very good performance for a marathon!

I managed to fall out of the building three times. Im sure thats a bug. I also think that the detection radius for the ball should be larger. When your running fast, it's hard to clik the ball while it is bouncing.
Theres something satisfying when the enemy collapses by ball collision. Great addition to LD :D.
Congratulations on the game made!
I managed to do a few goals, but the right place for that ball is in DA ENEMY FACE.
I love seeing that robot falling in pieces to the ground.
Also, I think I just found the most beautiful and aestethic bug of all time. gif attached.
Thanks a lot for your work, you're a great artist and you nailed the jam theme!
Cheers from Catania :P

I can't review but i like your game and as Borghese says: "Diesci!"
Ciao mbare :D

It was very slow at my potato pc, even at the super low graphics setting. Probably because of the motion blur effect.
