Really nice take on the theme, the UI could get a bit more worked on though :D. Had fun anyway protecting those pins or even drawing on the wall with the blocks. :)

Good job and nice concept, although I feel like implementation could've been a lot better.
It is not quite clear how you are supposed to defend these pins with blocks, balls are flying everywhere randomly.

@andrground Thank you for the feedback. The scope was to large for the game I worked on Friday-Saturday. I eventually scrapped it and went with this smaller concept.I had little time to polish though.

Interesting game, It's a bit hard to get the hang on but it can be fun nonetheless :)

A little unclear, but fun. I also found it funny that you can put blocks anywhere.

I like the basic concept. It's interesting. I think the game can be better if the game difficulty is more progressive, e.g. only one ball comes at first and then there will be more and more. I'll feel myself stronger then. Nice work!

This was a concept that made me laugh inevitably. I like puns and that was excellent. Game startup felt a bit off, but that's stuff that can be changed given more time. Well done. :D

Difficult but interesting concept and clever title. With a little tweaking could see it being a fun new take on bowling....maybe more to do with trying to help the balls reach their target instead of preventing them might be more fun but fits the theme like this.

It was a bit difficult to understand what I was supposed to really be doing in the beginning.. I even had gotten myself stuck somehow? Overall was pretty fun after a while.

It took little time to be defeated but it's a nice idea for the Jam's theme.
