Dunk Four by edj99

[raw]
made by edj99 for LD 41 (COMPO)

Ever wondered what combining basketball and connect four would look like?

Wonder no longer!

Dunk Four is a 2 player game where the objective is to connect four of the same coloured balls in a line, be it vertically, horizontally or even diagonally! The added difficulty comes from the requirement to flick the ball into the desired column, a truly challenging feat.

Played the web version and actually really enjoyed it, feels like a fresh take on something very known!

Absolutely hilarious, I love it! Nothing better than missing a winning shot!

Exactly the kind of test of dexterity that Connect 4 needs. The web version was a bit large on my screen, but it worked fine.

Really like the concept here. Some sort of background music or crowd murmuring/cheering might've been beneficial, but in regards to gameplay, I can't really complain. All in all, good work.

Also too big on my screen, and I'm sad that I couldn't see my shots go in. It was great fun to play, though. Well done.

@bitjester-media, @jshaffer94247, Thanks for your kind comments :) I've just updated the web version to a more sensible resolution so it shouldn't be too big anymore.

This is really cool! I don't know about how it works with the theme, but I love this game. I almost wish that if you miss, it would skip your turn - just to make it extra challenging. Love it!

Played it with my partner, had a great time. A little disorienting that the ball doesn't move until after you've let go of the mouse, but we had a fun time nonetheless!

Nice game, It's a nice concept, but, there is no AI so we may have to play with a friend or on our own and it's not really that fun. Everyone loves Connect 4 so I really appreciated it

Just played the web version, worked great! It's a fun game to play especially when your opponent misses his shot :P.
Maybe some movement when you start throwing the ball would be nice, something that indicates that you are going to throw/shoot.

Really funny game, my gf and I had a great time laughing at our inability to dunk. The mechanics changes the entire game. Graphics is great, some bgm would be nice though. Good job!

Simple and nice game, maybe a bit too simple for my taste :D I could prefer if players lost their turn when they miss shot.

I cant say its a great game, but its a great combination :) The best part of it is just the thought of combination the two games! Well done.

I love the aesthetic of this game! The art is bright, sunny, and cohesive. One thing I personally didn't like about the game was how "floaty" the shots felt, particularly when someone missed while aiming to the side -- it felt like waiting for the ball to reset took longer than necessary.

after you figured out how to throw it's kinda easy to hit the right spots, good job
