Great game. Not an epic, but short and sweet mecha

I really liked how you asked us to loop around the ball, to differentiate this from the plethora of other games like this.

It would have maybe been cool if there were subtle sound effects for the ball just bouncing off the cursor, and maybe an 'error beep' for when we fail.

The sounds for getting the double-loop was funny at first, but got a tad irritating after a while. You should have really had multiple sound effect, maybe various voices or whatever.

Is it really possible to get 2 CW loops AND 2CCW loops in one 'bounce'?

I think you should point out on the main page that we need to loop for mega-points, so people don't mistake this for a clone with no twists.

Also, when we get over 3 digits, the score is cut-off. You need to increase the size of the text box a bit.

It took me a few goes to get the hang of keeping the bounces controlled enough to implement the spins and whilst at first I was proud to get 100, I managed (after a few minutes) to get the hang of keeping a pattern of double loops, which made it laughably easy to get into the top 10. Even after getting the #1 score, I went back to play a few 'parting' games.

I'd probably nominate it for game of the month!

You should resubmit with some extra dressing - a greater variety of sounds for the loops, sound bounce noises, maybe some graphical changes as we get past... say... 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000... then every 250 or 500 points afterwards.

Solid mechanics, really well implemented (perfect physics/loop recognition) if a tiny bit dull and limited.

not bad one

nice soccer ball and the juggling-style was alright, though it did get a little bit complex depending on where the ball was bouncing, but it still did have an easy concept to it and it was a decent time killer.

Pretty to look at, fairly dull to play

Now, I'm not expecting the world of a kick-ups game, but I do expect a couple of things: some sound effects (music, perhaps) and a cursor at the very least. This game has no sound whatsoever expect for some overly dire music played during the intro; no sound when you hit the ball or when it hits the ground or anything. The cursor that you use to hit the ball is also just that: your cursor. The game doesn't change it into a foot or any sort of icon.

On the plus side, the ball graphics are quite nice, and the physics are quite capable.

No way original

I'm afraid this isn't too hot for me, I have seen this game in numerous forms before - tennis ball for wimbledon, football for the world cup and plenty more since so I aggree with some of the others, find a twist to make it your own. Add some music, a background and maybe even edit the plain football idea....

Sexy.

The graphics were sexy. :)
