This is a cool idea! It's fun throwing stuff into the goals! The music is really loud in the headphones, and I'm not really sure how it fits the theme. Are you summoning these items? Is someone else summoning them?

Anyway, fun little game!

Not really on theme, unless I am missing something. Still cool to shoot some hoops with physics! Nice game

@wumbomancer @jharger Thanks for playing and for the feedback! I apologize for the confusion; the user summons the items to them by clicking on each object, no matter the distance.

600mb??? Otherwise very fun. Therapeutic even.

Super fun! I liked all of the different shapes and sizes and having to learn how the gravity will affect each object

Really interesting game, it was cool to learn how to throw all the different objects with their different weights and shapes. Cute and nice simple fun.

I think it'd be nice if the hoop was smaller or moving to add a bit more of a challenge. Some more exotic objects would be interesting too.

Anyways, I liked it. Moment-to-moment gameplay is fun.

fun game! good soup! The mechanics were janky in a great way. Hoops indeed.

Pretty fun! A little confused on how it fits the theme but gameplay is solid. Liked that the physics on the objects were a little out of wack lol. Nice work!

That's very unexpected interpretation of the theme, I love it! :smile:

You are really great! The game turned out great!

fun game all the objects throwing based on their weight was cool and made me wanna throw all the objects in B)

This is an idea that can get really interesting! I found there were a little too many objects to choose from, which kind of took away some motivation to strategize with the different weighted objects.

cool physics, it was starting to get addicting holding down click and seeing the chairs go nuts. getting more points for shooting 3 pointers or throwing heavy stuff would be sweet!

This was a fun game! It was nice seeing another unreal game. I really enjoyed your different approach where things were just summoned from the sky rather than the player (me) summoning items.

I didn't really understand how this one fit the theme of summoning, but it's a nice project regardless
The bloomy lighting and silly physics makes me think of when I used to play LittleBigPlanet haha
Good work!

Fun little game! I could see this being developed further into a wacky and chaotic multiplayer party game.

Nice work!
