PainBall - Football x Shooter

Dude you have a gem here, you should rate some games so your game goes up so people can find this. Wow, visually stunning, amazing idea, hilarious you hit everything with this game. Polish and release this seriously (make it multiplayer hahahaha) do not give up on this idea holy crap.

The graphics are great, sounds are fun. The gameplay is a nice idea and I'm surprised how good the AI is (even if it is blatantly biased against me! :frowning:)

Seriously this is great. Keep at it and you could have a release here!

Nice idea, I love how you combined sport and shooter. I think they are fit nicely together. You should add some new features here like upgrading your team, new maps and weapons. Nice job!

Hey, this is really cool. Good job.

Wow this is awesome! Graphics/art style are great and the concept is original and skillfully executed! I found having one person in the crowd hilarious. Top notch submission right here!

Pretty good. The graphics are looking great!

These are my thoughts:

**Good**

Love the graphics style you chose. Kind of isometric/3d

The AI is exceptional for the time you had. That work alone blows the game out of the park

The mash up was an interesting idea, and I think it was executed phenomenally

**Improvements**

The paintball aspect needs more involvement. There either needs more bullets or don't have the AI shoot all the bullets away. It seems everytime I switch to a new player and there are no bullets.

Why are the goalies soo good? I played five games and wasn't able to score. I wanted to see what happened when there was a goal and tried to let the other team score, but they never did. It's a bit too hard.

The perspective can be a bit challenging. Maybe the view from the center line would be best, but I understand why you went with that camera perspective.

Thanks for the submission, can't wait to see you in the next jam

@travis-spuller Thanks for giving some real criticism. Most people are afraid to say negative things about the games they play but I think it is important to point out the flaws so you can improve. About the goalies, at first they were usless so I did some complicated math and improved them. Then they became way to good. I tried to make them a bit worse but never found the balance so I gave up:|

TL;DR Thanks for the feedback!

@Erik Brunnstrom Yeah man, no problem. I'll get around to checking out your other two games, just have to get through some more of this jam. :)

I like the idea and the game looks fab. The controls are a little awkward because of the orientation of the pitch, though. Also the ai tend to shoot all the balls before I have chance to use them, so after the first minute I rarely had any balls to shoot, which seems like a waste

Nice game! I didnt found the way how to exit when playing. But this lowpoly styled graphics and gameplay are very nice.

This game had me fixated, I just wanted to score so god damn bad haha.

I feel like my steal ball (left shift) wasn't working. I'm not sure if I was doing it wrong but I couldn't seem to steal the ball off my opponent. I could only intercept, maybe this is a bug? Or maybe I'm just bad and didn't understand it!

The paintballing aspect felt a little underwhelming -- when you hit someone with a paintball, maybe they could get knocked back? I wasn't really sure what the point of hitting someone with a paintball was... do you get control of that character or something? Can you turn your opponents in allies and select them?

Very cool game here, lots of potential for an actual released title. I can imagine this game doing well if it had a couch coop aspect to it. I'd focus a little more on the paintball aspect of the game and flesh that out as that's the most interesting component to the game which would make it stand out from others.

Obviously this was a jam game and it looks like you were one person, take my feedback with a pinch of salt ;). Good job, you have a gem here!

If you have a moment could you play and rate my team's game? We're very open to feedback too so please feel free to comment! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/check-please

Impressive! Beautiful visuals and it all seems very smooth and polished. I just wish I could actually shoot some paint balls every now and then, which was practically impossible 90% of the time as most players had 0, and refilling wasn't really possible as the game automatically assigned me another character every time I tried to go to the refill area.

Very nice AI you got there, and I'm glad my goalkeeper had superhuman reflexes. Managed to secure a point after a lucky 0:0 draw!

The idea, graphics and the AI is really good. The controls are okay, but they are a bit difficult to learn how to master. Some music or some more sound effects would have been great for this game. Overall a very well made LD game. Well done.

What I liked :thumbsup::

* good tutorial with illustrations
* cute graphics
* intresting idea
* effects of soiling the lawn. It's so cool looking

My comments:thinking:
* Not enough ammo.It turns out more football than paintball
* There is not enough pause and restart menu

I would be very glad if [you rating my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/last-stand-1) too:mag:
