This game has a lot of potential, the idea is great, however I think that you can improve this by adding some things :
1. Add a button to restart without passing by the pause menu.
2. Remove the timer, and made the game stop when the player cannot win any longer. I know that is certainly a tricky part, but it could be a great improvement.
3. Add a puzzle mode when you can choose and try any level. Keep the actual mode as the "arcade mode", but if you have a lot of level it could be great to select it.
4. Add a level editor. This game is made for a level editor. Plus it could help you while your creating your own levels.
Reviews for "Popping Sports"
My biggest complaint is not having a hotkey to start the next level.
this game makes absolutely no sense...
I enjoyed it, Very repetitive though.
This game has a lot of potential to be a very enjoyable and quite addicting experience. However there are a few issues with it that I highly recommend you update.
1: A complete restart is not necessary. That will only frustrate the player.
2: A restart should be instant, not delayed. That will toy with the players patience. This includes the requirement of pausing before doing so.
3: The timer only distracts and rather irritates the player.
Over all it's a good concept. It is fun, but an update to improve those three issues is very necessary.
