Why do the arrow keys not work for this game? I can barely move the character forward or in any particular direction.
This game is so fun!! I love Super Monkey Ball and have been looking for more games like it, so this was right up my alley, down to the Drum & Bass music that plays in the background (perfect touch for a game like this, it's almost a necessity).
The graphics and levels on display are really nice, feeling like a hybrid of Monkey Ball + Marble Blast, I can't recommend it enough.
I would genuinely buy a full, extended version of the game with more levels, a save feature, achievements, etc.!
Can You Put This On Android?
gooood
it is very good ;)
This game is really fun, and I've replayed this often. Goodgis, you did an excellent job with this short, challenging game. I love the Nintendo 64-style graphics as it gives me a good, nostalgic vibe throughout the gameplay. This game is definitely worth five stars and I recommend this to anybody who enjoys classic-style games
Why is my antivirus blocking this ?
It says there is a trojan
it's a false postive
this game is a copy of Holiday Rush 64.It was released before this game but the game is actually pretty good:Maybe its just coincedence!
If a copy is better than the original wouldn't that make it more of a inspiration?
Its not ment as hate!I meant that Bllizard Blowout is still a good game.Maybe its a coincidence!
Sorry if my initial reply made it seem like I thought you where hating, I actually thought it was interesting to see a very similar project from a year ago. Seeing how there isn't a mention of Holiday Rush 64 on Blizzard Blowout's page it's very possible that this game was created without the author knowing it's already been done.
Yeah!
i had a look at the release dates of both and this came out before because this was made in 2020 and holiday rush came out after
widows defencer report
yeah don't install there is a trojan in the game file
#Super fun!
although I kinda hate it… but I LOVE IT!
Windows defender detected a virus, someone else here I saw also detected a virus on Google Drive. I'm not saying this game definitely has a virus, but this is definitely suspicious
Probably a false positive.
Hi i just did a speedrun of your game! It was pretty fun but pretty difficult lol! Such an intimidating but awesome game
google drive told me it had a virus on it. does anyone else know if this is true?
Why would you even put the game on Google Drive to begin with? And no, it doesn't have a virus.
I can’t access itch on my windows computer so I have to download the games to my MacBook then put them on google drive and finally download it from drive to my windows
This was rage inducing but great! 6:08 (timestamp)
So I pressed the Escape key because I thought that it would pause. It dint and it brought me back to the main menu. Well that's fine but now you are back to level 1!!! Also please add WASD controls.
same
I love your game but if you can add a way to save your level progression i would be greatful
great game but I can't use WASD to move
you use arrow keys
I know a said it would be better to play with WASD
I played this back around Christmas, meant to post it here and forgot...But I had an absolute blast with this game! The graphics and gameplay were nostalgic, it was fun and not too infuriating haha
Absolutely lovely work!
Thanks so much for playing! :D
The gift is hauting me in my dreams... anyway good game
This game is so fun!! And the music is amazing 10/10 Goodgis Great work!
Fantastic game. The nostalgia is flooding back to me. I'm excited for the full release!
great game
how do i unlock the third character please help I've tried for like 30 minutes now
0:46
Ayye, thanks so much! :D
the music and voice in the game reminds me a lot of wii sports lol. really nice game!
Goodgis loves his Wii sports. Thanks! :D
This game was one of the first games to get me really excited about the potential about developing in the Godot engine when you uploaded your video about it last year. I finally played through it for the first time yesterday, and it was somehow even more fun than it looked in the video! I grew up playing Monkey Ball games, so I knew this game would be right up my alley, but I wasn't expecting it to have that addicting "just one more level" feeling from start to finish.
I showed the game to my mom and my little sister and they loved it and got hooked too. They ended up playing until they got stuck on the second to final level with the rotating cubes that you have to bounce off of.
I just wanted to say, I would 100% buy a full release of this game! I would love to have several times the amount of levels as the freebie version, an endlessly replayable secondary mode, so I never run out of BB64 to play, some sort of competitive multiplayer, and a co-operative multiplayer mode. That would make BB64 instantly become one of my most anticipated indie games.
My ultimate, unrealistic, pie-in-the-sky wish is that after this game got a full release on PC and consoles, it would get an arcade cabinet release complete with 2 player support and two of those trackball controllers that arcade games use to have for increased immersiveness!
This game is sooo much fun. You should be very proud of yourself for coming up with it and executing your idea so well. I look forward to seeing what you create in the future!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I definitely will make a full release as this is one of my favorite games I've made. Cheers, and seriously thanks for the encouragement. :D
Braaavo.
:D
smh Crepe makes better games
Hi I am currently subscribed to you on youtube:). Nice work, I think you stayed true to what you executed.
I had recreated this game. Pls share ur review
If u like it pls dont give me a copyright strike🤣
pro
thnks
Not working on Windows for some reason. I double click the exe and nothing happens.
maybe you downloaded the wrong version?
Maybe it's because your system is 32-bit
I really enjoyed the game, enough to play it twice, but I can't seem to find the elf anywhere! Any hints?
look at the screenshots
Oh ha, that's actually pretty clever.
This is a very fun game. Enjoyed it a lot. Kinda reminds me of PS1 Croc game when the player wins or loses. Awesome game OP. Keep it up! :)
game not working in mac :(
Why?
Okay, this was really fun and really adorable! The game involves a lot of trial and error, but it's the good kind of trial and error, where the movement is so exhilarating you don't mind trying again and again and again.
My suggestions would be a level select screen, so we don't have to start over whenever we want to try a different character, and a quick retry button, so we don't have to wait for our character to reach the kill plane before we can restart.
This game was so much fun! I used to play so much Super monkey Ball as a kid on my Gamecube. This brought back some good memories!
If I may ask, how did you achieve this pixelated 3D look with Godot? I'm really into the style, it reminds me a lot of the 'A Short Hike' game style where you shrink the resolution of the game and point a second camera at that (that's how it was achieved in Unity at least). Cheers!
Enabling viewport mode in window settings makes your game resolution scales to the resolution youre using
I recomment 320x180 and enabling viewport mode and set stretch to keep. For maximum modern nostalgia. ;)
Love it! The best part of this game in my opinion is definitely the art style. I've always been a fan of N64/PS1 graphics, and you just absolutely nailed the aesthetic. The super monkey ball style narrator was also a really nice touch. One of the biggest problems for me though is that it's too hard to judge distances, and estimate where you're going to land. I know the mario games solve this by adding a shadow directly under mario, but that wouldn't help much for a game like this. Maybe you could put a shadow where you would land if you continued at the same speed and angle. Other than that, I really enjoy the game! Looking forward to any updates you have in store! By the way, what did you use to make the logo? It looks really good!
I never owned an n64 and this feels nostalgic
This was really fun and such a refreshing take on the marble physics genre! Hope to see this developed further, the world needs Blizzard Blowout 64 :)
Thanks so much! That means a lot. :D
Good Game? Great Game!
Thanks for playing! I hope you enjoyed it.
