Reviews for "Super Wiggi-Ball!"
I really like the concept
And the execution is great on so many levels. And i know you said not to talk about the speed of the reactions... however, I know from personal experience that children have a tough time having the patience it takes to learn to time the hitting of a button, or key just right. My own kids are where I have the experience. My daughter is really good at games, and can understand and execute on just about anything I teach her... but the one thing that gets her almost every time is when the reaction of an executed move or button press is not almost immediate. She expects it, I think. That she needs to wait until the need for the move is imminent before pushing the button. She was playing Tom Raider Legends, or something, and she was making her way all around this training environment... even into some of the secret areas, but the one move she rarely pulled off was one that shot out a cord that attached to a hook above the character's head and allowed her to swing on the attached cord. It was because it took a moment for it to latch, so you needed to know you had to press it ahead of time. She would almost always press it too late... which is what I would fear for this.
But... there is something to be said for teaching patience. And if a kid is interested enough to give it a chance, they will most likely try and learn to pace themselves and learn when that opportune time is. Hell... maybe you have the best moral of all of our submissions to the contest right here in your game.
very well done
I liked it all!
The moves take a second to execute, which makes timing important (and raises the difficulty level appropriately). It teaches kids to look for the trajectory of the ball, which I think is an excellent skill to learn. It also cannot be button-mashed like it could be were the speed of the moves increased.
I also did enjoy the non-linear progression of the opponents. I liked the art, the music, the voicing- very strong entry to the contest!
Awesome game!

Great game!
This was a very good game that I could play for a while. Although the moves could take a while to get the timing down, I dont think there were any downsides. I'm sure this game could place high in the contest, (I don't think the score matters in the contest) because it is addictive and teaches morals to children. Good Luck!
