Reviews for "Ringwaves"

This was quite an enjoyable game. I will admit it got kind of annoying with how simplistic it was. It still worked. I got up to Level 8. Well, that does kind of look like infinity. It's fine for a little game.

The idea really is quite original. The red bars were what got me the most. It's still easier than it looks. I think this should have won some award. Daily 5th, maybe?

Jordio94 responds:

Yeah, I was just playing around with something a bit different and kept it quite simple. It does get a bit more interesting and harder as the levels go up, but the core gameplay remains pretty basic. Thanks for giving it a try anyway!

Very simple, but also VERY entertaining.

Level 19 and 20 made me want to rage-quit a few times, but that of course also made them very rewarding to finally get through. :D

The really cool part about those levels (beyond the "That looks eas... Waaaaaitaminute") was that they really AREN'T hard, but the addition of something chasing you made the stress rise just enough that mis-clicks suddenly became a thing... At least for me.

I don't know if survival changes much beyond the 3-minute mark, but it's maybe a bit too simplistic and repeating, just cubes going straight and balls angled at you. The main game could also have been a bit longer, but it was great for what it was.

Jordio94 responds:

So pleased you enjoyed it! Definitely considered making it longer, but I was conscious about how far you can push a simple idea before it becomes boring.

The last couple of levels can certainly put the pressure on. I think having something chasing you does a better job than just using a countdown. Plus you don't know it's coming the first time!

Survival mode was kind of a last minute addition to give a bit of replayability. It could probably use some attention if I do another update.

Thanks for the feedback!

The physics feel a little inconsistent. Placing the ring further away from the ball should give a weaker push, but sometimes i tap as far from the ball as possible and it rockets farther than expected

Love survival mode music though

Jordio94 responds:

Yeah, the velocity only comes from how long you hold it down, rather than how far away the ring is. It'd probably feel more natural to factor in the distance too. Thanks for the feedback!

Game is fun and simple, although survival gets a little boring after a while. 4/5 would play again.

Jordio94 responds:

Yeah, survival was a last minute add on that could do with some improvements. Great to hear you'd play again!

This is really good! I've never played a game that controls like this, but I like it, it's quite experimental. It's also quite challenging, which is always a plus.

Jordio94 responds:

It definitely was a bit of an experiment. Thanks for giving it a try!
