a game with BALLS [Beta Test] (Puppy Punch Productions)

Ether vision is great! I was managing the huge moon pretty well until those stupid clear boxes came I'm definitely going to see if I can conquer the moon though

I also like this theme more than ethervision

 

Cool. Any ideas on when the next game will be tested?

 

Yeah! New build with Power ups!!!!! SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Loving the new power ups!! They work perfectly and I love how you have to break the ice to get the power ups. I've also experienced fewer slow downs during gameplay. The menu is still a little laggy though.

 

menu still gets really laggy to the point where you have no option but to quite the game and restart it. also got a little laggy during gameplay too when there was a lot on the screen at once.

 

Installed 0.8.5 on my iPad 1.

The frame rate again, back to the laggy/unstable behavior. Previous version is much smoother and playable. In 0.8.5, the fps indicator is not there, so I cannot see how does it fluctuating, but I am pretty sure it is laggy.

Thanks for the powerups that I requested, really nice to have them, but probably the heavy cannons powerup need some slight tweaking - too much of them make the player harder to survive. Other than that, the game seems going to the right direction in terms of game play and player engagement.

The moon still quite challenging!

Waiting for the next surprise

 

1. I am really excited about power-ups, it makes the gameplay much better, the game feels more like a real game now.

2. previously I survived like 1.30/2.00. With the power ups I survive about 2 minutes longer, like 4.00/4.30

3. I would really be rewarded when I receive new cannons or ammo or something. I don't think I would buy the game if there were no unlockable items

4. For me before: etherVision: 4, bubblegumOdyssey: 3, after the power ups addition, for me they both score a 4. I would be more satisfied when you add unlockable cannons, ammo and levels, instead of more power ups

 

1. The powerup feels great, I especially like the freeze powerup, and yeah, it does make the gameplay feel better to me because I get to play more of the game.

2. For both levels, I gain about 1.30 to 2 minutes on average with the powerups.

3. Yes, I do feel rewarded when getting a higher score, and Yes I would play more for unlockables.

4. etherVision, 4 and bubblegumOdyssey, 3 after the powerups. I enjoy etherVision a lot more, maybe because I like the graphics on etherVision more. Gameplay-wise, they're both equally entertaining.

 

1. The power ups feel great! My favorite one is the one that freezes the screen because it gives me some time to breathe. I also like the force field because it makes me feel like I'll never lose!!! They definitely make gameplay feel better as they kinda serve as a second chance. And I am most definitely excite when I get them!!!!!!

2. Quite a while actually. About 30 - 60 seconds. I'm very good at the game so maybe that's why.

3. Of course I do! Whenever I get a new high score on a game, it motivates me to play even harder so I can get an even higher score!

4. I give etherVISION a 5! I absolutely love the art style and colors of it! I give bubblegum ODYSSEY a 3. It was fun it didn't manage to get me addicted to it like etherVISION did.

 

Questions:
1. How does each power-up feel? Is it something you're excited about getting? Do they make gameplay feel better?

I like each powerup. They all seem to be perfect except the timestop/slow time (whatever it is). It froze the moon and the sticky balls but the yellow balls were still going fast. Then when i had dropped my guard a yellow ball came flying in (like the speed of a falling ball if not faster) and killed me when the power up was still going. They amazingly improve the gameplay and make me want to play more (the moon is still cooler). I can't wait for new power ups

2. With these new power-ups how long do you survive on etherVision and bubblegumOdyssey?

I have a better record without the power ups (because i haven't played much with them). I think i will be able to easily beat my old record now that i can have a shield.

3. Do you feel rewarded after you get a higher-score on each level? Would you be motivated to play more to unlock cannons with special abilities, new themes, etc.?

I like to try and beat my record. It is always cool when i do and realize i have gotten better (or luckier) than before. I like the idea of earning up to buy more things and i think it is one of the most important things to put into the game. Games with unlockable items (and multiplayer) sell better than those who leave those features out.

4. On a list from 1-5 how much fun would you rate each theme? How fun was it before power-ups were implemented?

I would rate ethervision as a 5 it was a cool level with a nice feel, a good song, and fun balls (rofl) and blocks (the moon was still the best). I would give bubblegum odyssey a 4. It had decent music and good solid balls (rofl!) and blocks that made it very enjoyable.

 

1. I'm really liking the power ups, it makes the gameplay much more exciting. my fave is the freeze one.

2. previously I got like 1.30/2.00. Now with the power ups I get 2.30/300 on average.

3. Yes. whenever I get a high score it makes me wanna play more so I can beat it.

4. etherVision: 4, bubblegumOdyssey: 3, Love the look and feel more of etherVision but both are still fun to play.

 

1) Power ups are great! The game is much more exciting! My favorite is the one that freezes the screen.

2)About 25'' to 40''..

3)Yes because I want to try and beat my previous score..

4) etherVision:4
bubblegumOdyssey:3

etherVision is my fav..

 

1.Powerups feel great. Yeah, the powerups help the game since the game is hard.I would love to get this but I don't know what you're offering in the full version. This beta makes it seem like you'll be adding more modes.

2.I was in etherVISION and a huge ball came down. You could almost call it a moon. I thought it was over but this square came down that cracked when I hit it. So it froze the moon and I was able to shoot it out of the way.

3.Not really. I'd rather have my scores compared with other users or get something for a huge score(but I didn't have anything passed a little bit after a minute).Yes, I would be motivated with those rewards.

4.Before EtherVision: 3 After EtherVision:5
Before bubblegumODYSSEY:4 After bubblegum ODYSSEY: 5
I was rating on the hardness in the first part.It's not really fun if the game is super hard. I like all the various color themes in this game.Thanks for letting me test.

 

I am really liking the powerups. I enjoy playing the game more because I can last longer

However, with the latest upgrade I have noticed a lag getting things to load up and on the iPhone things seem to drag a bit more than on the iPad.

I definitely play more now that I can last longer...I can get to 4 minutes on Bubblegum and 3:50 on Ethervision. I finally took care of the big Moon! Luv it!

 

Yay new power ups i like the 2 additional cannon one and the time slow down.

 

Great update! Absolutely no problems with the new power ups so far. The updated Freeze power up is much better now. I can't wait to test the next game/update!!

 

Weird, I can't seem to find any powerups with the new build.

 

I had that problem when I first played too. You have to play a couple games before you finally find one.
