Interesting balance game concept

Hey fellow Robloxians,

Back all the way during Thanksgiving week I began working on it a small little project titled “Super Ball Rollin’!” The goal of the game is to balance yourself on top of a ball until the time runs out. But, there’s a catch, random tiles on the map will begin to disappear, making the map smaller as the round continues.

After playing around a bit, I found the concept fun and began working on it. That is, until I just left the project to go do other stuff (like most developers do) and it’s been sitting on my shelf since. But I recently got into the project again and have been continuing development.

So that brings me to why I’m here, I wanted to get some feedback to make the game better. I think the game is a pretty cool and interesting idea, and I want to turn it into a complete and functional game. But I’m going to need feedback in order for that to happen.

For reference, here’s what I’m planning on doing with the game:

  • Adding a Cosmetics Shop for player’s balls (Currently just a random color.)
  • Adding alternative game modes for some gameplay variation.
  • Adding a settings menu for some customizability (Turning off UI during game, FOV, etc.)
  • Adding a few more maps.
  • and whatever else comes to mind.

Oh and one last thing before I give you the link, Roblox likes to use proper physics like, half the time. I don’t know why the physics are just bizarre.

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoy the game to an extent, and I can’t wait to hear your feedback!

That sounds like a really fun game! I’m playing it right now and noticed a little glitch, when I got sent to the cave map the logo didn’t disappear, it’s right up on the screen and pretty distracting imo.

here it is

Asides from that if you could do all of those things you mentioned and improve the lobby I think the game could be something big!

Thanks! I’m currently looking into the logo bug you got, haven’t seen it before.

Alright, the bug should be fixed, but I didn’t actually run into the specific bug you found.

warn the players which tiles are going to disappear, and teleport the player slightly off the ball, so they dont just stand in the middle of the ball perfectly

Totally! Been thinking up ways to prevent players from standing still, and attempting to warn players of a disappearing tile.

could you make them go 50% transparent before disappearing?

Yeah! I was thinking about having them fade out a bit, then turning off collisions before they get destroyed.

This is a really good idea! With some polishing, this could be a legitimate game with players.

I’d recommend adding more sound effects and customizability.

I hope to see this project doing well in the future! :slightly_smiling_face:

sounds like Rollernauts - Launch Trailer (2016) - YouTube

Defiantly see a resemblance! Although gameplay wise this project is defiantly more of “keep your balance” compared to “knock others off.”
