How does the game fit the theme?
nothing can go wrong , so you can't make mistake

you get three lives tho because the game is hard otherwise

You know, I actually thought this was really cool. It was fun to bounce around the keyboard and keep track of the balls. You already know it lacks polish so I won't bother with those comments, but overall this was surprisingly innovative. I can think of many ways to expand upon this concept.

Pretty cool concept. The game lacks polish tho, especially audio since there was none. And I'm not sure if this feature is present in the game but a gradual ramp up in difficulty would've been nice cuz it felt a little too easy to win ngl.

good game and concept, i was in the discord when it was being made, i love the idea and drawings are funny, would be better with sounds =)

Submitted

A good concept that could be developed really well. If there were more impact from actions, added sound effects, improved graphics, and the game became more challenging over time with some additional complexities, I’d totally get hooked on a game like this in the evenings! Cool stuff.

Submitted

Really nice idea and it fits the theme really well! Like others said, with music and sound effects would be even better! I'd also like to see my score. But still, keep up the good work ^^

Submitted

really hard game, but fun!

Submitted

It was fun thanks. As others said with music it would have been great! And it was a bit too easy in my opinion. But I really liked it!

Submitted

Very creative Idea and fun to play! Some audio and/or music would be nice and maybe increasing difficulty with time. But still a fun experience!

Submitted

Found the game kind of cute. Definitely could've used some audio, even if it was royalty free stuff. Maybe the crowd cheering you on. It gets kind of difficult but fits the feeling of being a clown, that stuff doesn't look easy.

lol balancing everything was hard

I really like the idea and how chaotic it is to keep up with pressing the right buttons while managing your mouse!

I think something like a score system would be nice to see how good you've done!

And as other people mentioned, obviously sound would add something really nice to a game like this!

Submitted

Simple yet difficult, was fun trying to juggle all the different inputs 

Submitted

I think i did good. Would be nice with audio

Everything went wrong really quickly... Hahahahaha
It's really funny, just needed some music & sfx and it will be even funnier.
