I absolutely love the game but am having issues as soon as I try to connect two 64 balls together it crashes instantly. Other than that theres some collision detection issues once in a while. With a little fine tuning BiFusion would be in the top third of my favorite playdate games. Tim PONGbyATARI
awesome work on this!
super fun spin on a classic concept.
i noticed that sometimes collision isn't handled as expected. it looks as though a ball passes right through another ball. i want to say it happens when the target ball is moving slowly? also maybe when the collision occurs close to the launcher.
otherwise, this is perfect and a great way to pass some time
This game is really fun! I followed @NPException's lead and submitted a pull request with a list view icon for OS 2.0, and a slight reorganization of the images so there's a proper image on the sideload screen.
Hi chellman, I just saw your pull request. Thanks a lot for taking the time!
Received my PlayDate a couple of days ago and was really looking forward to playing this. Could you update this game or (if you don’t have the time for it) maybe consider opening the source code so we can re-compile it ourselves?
EDIT: I just saw you already have a Github repo for it. I try to familiarize myself with the Playdate SDK in the near future and try to contribute any necessary update changes as a PR :)
Hi NPException,
Thanks a lot for spending some time looking into this.
As you have imagined, I didn't have time the past months to update the SDK and recompile the app.
I'll update the binary on itch.io and review your pull request on git.
Cheers!
No worries, we all have a life besides game dev after all. :) Thank you for the super quick response!
Is there a newer version of the game? This one's not compatible with the latest Playdate os.
I just uploaded it (Kudos to @NPException for recompiling the code).
Dang, I was really looking forward to playing this, seems it may not get updated. :(
I just uploaded it (Kudos to @NPException for recompiling the code).
Thanks to you and @NPException for the update! I can't wait to play it!
I just got my Playdate and it seems the game does not work with the latest OS version.
Same problem here
I just uploaded it (Kudos to @NPException for recompiling the code).
Hello! Great game concept, having lots of fun playing it.
Just wanted to report that the game crashes for me when I collide 2 64's in Easy mode!
I'm glad you enjoy it. I'll take a look into it. Thanks for the report.
Repro’d today, on crash screen clicked “More info” and got “ERROR: ball with wrong energy”
I received the same exact crash this morning. Two 64's in easy mode and...kaput.
:( Thanks for reporting it. I plan to spend a bit of time doing bug fixing and maybe adding a couple of new features in the next weeks, so hopefully all these crashes will be fixed soon.
That's great to hear, Hegodigames! I understand this takes some time to implement, so I really appreciate your effort. As it stands, it's still a great game. In the meantime, I wish you all the best squashing those bugs. :)
Hello Hegodigames,
I'm loving this game, but on the 1.0.1 version, occasionally I'll launch a ball and it will not collide with other balls. For example, I'll shoot a #2 ball and it just sails right through another #2 ball. Any plans to address this? Regardless, thanks for the great game.
Sincerely,
Ryan :)
Hello Ryan!
I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the game. I'll try to fix it in the next version. Thanks for reporting it.
I'm happy you liked it!. Thanks for playing it and making the video :).
Thank you for this update which fixes the previous bug. Now I have two new bugs. Sometimes the disc goes through. When you reach 128 the console crashes and restarts.
It's one of the best games I have on PlayDate. Congratulations and Thank you. (I hope you manage to fix the bugs)
Thanks a lot for the comment!
Excellent jeu. Merci !
Enjoyed the game!
But has bugs. After a.while of playing all three slots on the left seems like they occupied by balls while in reality they empty.
Also looks like after a while ball counting inside reactor going crazy and 3 balls already makes screen looks cracked.
It need to be fixed, but even now game is addictive.
Im happy to hear you enjoyed it! I really appreciate you took the time to give me feedback. I'll investigate those bugs and hopefully upload a fixed version
I love games like this! i ran into a small graphical glitch where one of the 3 slots showed i had a 64 ball on it still when it was empty.
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the feedback I'll look into it.
