I wouldn't mind if movement was a bit easier, seeing how the main character is an adult proficient in ice skating, whenever I'd kick the ball I was just happy that I managed to kick it rather than having some feeling of guiding it towards a goal. Some ability to rotate the camera to track the ball movement would be of help there. \n\nThe kids+teens stage had a glitch where it didn't end after everyone was out, but of course that is of no consequence, I ended up just skating around kicking the unconscious bodies for fun. The alternative camera is great, might be the DOS nostalgia but to me everything looks just prettier from that angle. I guess the most impressive aspect for me is that you did a good job simulating a populated ice skating hall.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":910134,"author_name":"GoldRanger","author_uid":"goldranger","epoch":1673394230,"text":"Thanks all for playing and the review!\n\n@fnelix can you give a bit more detail about the stucking in menu issue?       \n@shahinm it just like um.. harvesting the kids.....        \n@kr4ft3r sorry for the bug and thanks for the advice, indeed camera is an issue and that's why I add the other camera so that we can track the ball from top down view but yea rotatable camera should properly better. sadly don't have enough time to assign on this part.   \n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":910147,"author_name":"GoldRanger","author_uid":"goldranger","epoch":1673394364,"text":"@gordoncatlover this is actually the type of game I would like to post on newgrounds :laughing: you reminded me, maybe uploading it after a few days. and glad you like it!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":910608,"author_name":"LDJam user 278660","author_uid":"278660","epoch":1673403149,"text":"10050 points! did kid do something wrong to you?","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":911753,"author_name":"fnelix","author_uid":"fnelix","epoch":1673429521,"text":"@eggshelldog I think this was after i went back to the menu by pressing H, the game still ran in the background but i was stuck in the menu and could not select anything.

The contra feel perfectly like Im just sliding around in the ice, there's so many small details that tie it together that you didn't have to do but are a perfect example of using your time wisely and polishing. I saw teens pushing kids, I saw kids skating side by side in pairs, it really tied everything together. The game plain looked really good and had a lot of variation among the kids\/teens.
