    Pretty unique gameplay for BB - I like it! Seems you have a bit of a mash up of graphics with the Duck (hunt) almost looking like pixel art then the bouncing blobs looking different to the Mr Jump style setting.

    With a bit of gameplay tweaking and graphic tweaks could be a killer game!

    Great idea, I had a similar idea for a game myself... You may try using a joystick controller to move the paddle back and forth instead of screen taps (buttons). Would probably be more fun for the player.

    Yeah this is cool - we've prototyped something similar based on ninja ponk - agreed with @Simon Crack - Definitely tighten the graphic style up for more consistency - great job :)

    Not gonna lie: I hand-scribbled a game concept very similar to this that involves geometry shapes in a minimalistic style. Ultimately, I decided not to do it because I did not feel that it would allow for the difficulty scaffolding that I would want for a game like that.
    Agreed with commentators above on picking one visual style

    This is cool... My very first iOS game years ago was made from a template using another builder of nearly identical gameplay. Still fairly unique and fun IMHO. Definitely would improve the art style.

    I agree with everyone this is a unique gameplay for Buildbox, nice work!. I think everyone makes a great point about the clashing of styles. The Mr. Jump reference is too obvious here, I would play off that but try to differentiate from that game. Here are some actionable steps to take.

    1. Keep the water
    2. Change the clouds
    3. Add another dimension or shade to the mountains - literally copy and cut or merge a darker tone on one side.
    4. Change the Platforms ( Way too similar to Mr. Jump)
    5. Work on the main character I think it's a bit weak.
    6. Redraw the ducks so they resemble duck hunt but in the same flat style.
    7. PM me I think I have a good idea to add to the gameplay

    Thanks for commenting
    Surely i will update this game, also if you could take time to play it actually and help me making gameplay better.
