okay I guess
The music gave me a headache wich never happens so it must have been really bad
Reviews for "Disco Balls"
Decent game....
But the music make it unbarable, i had to mute my entire sytem and then i couldn't listen to my own music and the gameplay was good, but not good enough to compensate for silence.
deja vu
ive played this on another site. personally i didnt have any problems with the controls. i didnt even despise the music. but the awkward avatars put me off at a bad start. there really doesnt seem to be a need for them besides to have their facial expressions tell you how you're doing. but really? they dont even fit well together. a ninja, a gradeschooler, an angry lady, and a guy who looks like he works at a deli? what?
Yeargh
Odd and interesting concept.
Conceivably fun gameplay.
This, however, was extremely poorly executed.
Essentially this game handles like "Asteroids" and its many clones, the difference being that it is a "change the color" game with a vs/time trial twist, rather than a puzzler. An added dimension of character selection driven by statistics seemed to be a logical choice.
The result is, however, just a weird game with a weird premise and sloppy handling.
In the words of Zaphod Beeblebrox: "Ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking."

I'm trying to respond to some of these comments, but a lot of them are the same or similar so I'm not hitting every one.
Asteroids actually never came to mind when I was working on this. It all came together kind of by accident. I was originally working on an engine to handle grid-type puzzle and board games when my son was flipping channels and stayed on reruns of American Gladiator on ESPN Classic... specifically during the event where 4 guys get into these giant round cages and roll them around trying to avoid or hit each other.
The controls seem to be a love/hate thing. I've just uploaded an update with some slight tweaks to the control and I will be working on a version with an alternate control scheme. Other than the control issues, is there anything specific you think should be changed?
it dumb
i say this because i got to lvl 8 by only holding down the up key and doing nothing but that
jackcole responds:
That's something I definitely need to look into then. Out of curiosity, which color did you chose?
Other than that, a zero? :( But seriously, thanks for bring that up, as that is something that shouldn't have happened and something I apparently need to address.
