i really like the art style, the bombs in particular are so cute!! the gameplay is fun but i suck (and the fact that it's a bit slow doesn't help haha) i'm looking forward to more projects from this team in the future perhaps? :)
curious how you bought a domain to link to this game for your viewers to use. is there a reason you didn't want people looking up failboat on itch.io? i couldn't think of any reason you wouldn't want that. um, not even one.
Really cool game!! I adore the art, unfortunately can't say much on the gameplay since it runs just a bit too slow for me, which seems to be causing the paddles to sometimes not fling the balls. But still, I like pinball, and rats, so this seems cool!!!
This is awesome, could definitely see this becoming a full Nintendo style game. Although the game just runs a bit slow for me, I also had a few issues with physics collisions at the tip of the paddles since the ball had a pretty frequent chance of going through them, but I think that might be a Godot physics issue.
second try, 166 seconds. coming from a kid who grew up on space cadet pinball, i need another 50 hours of gameplay pumped into this thing. the single flaw with the entire project is the fact that there's just the one fight and it has NOT quenched my hunger to return to pinball.
also, itd be sick to add z + / controls for us oldheads. real ones remember.
I have been playing this for probably over an hour now and still cannot beat this, either i suck or this is the hardest game ever (this is not criticism i'm pretty sure i just have a skill issue) but either way i'm finding it incredibly difficult to hit the boss and this is hell to play for me
The difficulty can be something once more mice get in the way, especially if they plonk their fat arses right in front of the head
The only thing I'd say is maybe the "transformation" cutscene lasts a bit too long
Nearly lost a run during it since I couldn't see where the ball I sent up was falling down (very close to the hole between bumpers), otherwise it's pretty good. Mighta been a bug at one point where I had a ball get eaten but then it was given back to me anyway, but I'm not sure. I was gaining a second ball at the same time and I was on the final "phase" so I couldn't tell all that happened.
This game is super cool and I mean it feels quite smooth and since this is y'alls first time I think that super duper great for being a first. I am a game developer myself with alot of experience on VR to some flatscreen games. and I genuenly think this game is wonderful it reminds me of the Mario Party Minigame Waluigi's Pinball. Great job!
I like they style, character design and concept of this game a lot, but theres a lot of problems I'm having while playing it. theres a bug where all the sounds other than the music and atmosphere are cutting out a bunch, even more when a different sound like the bumper thingies happens, sometimes when i click the bumpers just decide not to do anything, sometimes the cats just decide not to be effected by the physics or clip through the bumper, and one time after the rat at the cat at the start it game overed even though i didn't die. i hope this sounds more like constructive criticism other than me just complaining. :T
yo i love this but i found a bug where theres a low chance that if you have only 1 ball, and use you use your one ball to stop the beam attack, then you still lose, despite the Rat King (Rat Boss if you will) coughing up your ball after.
It's so cool to see a streamer I've been watching for almost ten years make a game! This game is VERY stylish, especially for a game made for a game jam. Cata-Bomb is very cool and does well at setting itself apart from be just another game in its genre. I think that uniqueness is an important quality for a game jam game, and you very much achieved it through the art and the music!
Am I biased as a viewer and fan? Definitely.
Is the game good? Definitely.
I should note that the HTML version is VERY laggy, but the EXE is fine.

this is actually really cool, it's just my P O T A T O of a chromebook explodes like a bomb when i load it in a browser. pretty nice, either way!

Just added those as buttons for any future patches ;)
hella sick , i see the vision.

I'm finding it supremely difficult to hit the boss, looks and sounds great though!
Unfortunately the browser version lags way to hard for me to even play it, love what you btw! Keep up the great work Failboat!
Got a win third(?) try, took 213 seconds.
