For the past couple days I've been working on this game. However, I'm a bit stuck on ideas (beyond what I already have). I'm posting here to see if anyone can think of a way to make my game more fun/interesting/exciting.

One thing I forgot to mention in the swf is your ball can hit the sides of the big circle (your ball will simply bounce off)

Game HERE

Also, if you find any bugs, please tell me! Thanks!

Could be a good game if your dressed it up made everything look nice. I like the making the ball bigger and smaller but control seems really i dunno loose?

Thanks for the feedback. But still, the game is not very dynamic at the moment. There is only one strategy because the game pretty much does the same thing the whole time.

Also, I can probably fix those controls to make them less loose.

maybe give it some power ups? (invisibility, destroy all the red balls, suck in all the green ones)

Interesting concept. I think you should make the red circles into actual enemies, so some of them shoot, some follow you etc. Also, having to be smaller than the circle is too easy compared to having to be bigger. Instead, you could make it so you always have to be bigger, and the circles start out small and then grow. This way the longer it takes you to get the circle the harder it will be because you will have to be bigger to get it.


If you are reading this then you must be really bored.

Yeah, I noticed that issue where it is much easier to become smaller. What you said is a good idea. Also, different red enemies would make things more interesting.

Nice! Maybe it could use some more elements, like walls, heat-seeking red balls, time limits, specific missions, etc. Also, the score thing is f***ed up.
