Leaving for a 2,300 mile roadtrip Monday morning, so had to keep it short and sweet for this LD.
Polo is a kind of single player pong. Bounce the ball of the matching color segment of the wheel. Use the left/right arrows or A/D keys to rotate the wheel.
It's a really simple concept but this game is really addictif. I think you can improve it with some interesting graphics. I like it. Thank you for this great contribution ++
highscore of 15, yaye! It's so much easier to play with the mouse-control than the keyboard. I used a trackball device actually, maybe it made a difference over a standard mouse.
Cool concept, it's a little tricky to get your bearings for the next rotation when you have no idea what the colour is going to be, it feels like there should be at least a minute hint as to what the next colour, like maybe the next colour could do a really faint and quick flash just before the ball hits the current colour. It's good fun to play though, nice and straight forward as well.
The graphics could have been more stylized maybe. The particle effects were cool though. The gameplay was good but it could have accelerated a bit less. I couldn't beat 10 bounces. I really enjoyed this game so much.
Very nice idea. I found that it quickly became too fast to have any hope of continuing and without knowing what the next colour will be you can't try to aim it at the right place. Maybe you could think of a way of making it get harder without just increasing the speed so that it never becomes 'impossible' and also show what colour is coming up next so that you can aim your shots.
It's a shame you wasn't able to work on this further because if you did, it'll probably be a lot more ridiculously addictive than it is right now :p. Absolutely loved the simple to learn yet hard to master gameplay.
But you could worked on it on the whole weekend.
