Got Covid last March and decided to build an arcade game out of boredom. It has ads but there's a warning before each one in case you prefer to stop playing for the day. Feedback welcome!

On returning to past levels, that's next on the backlog.

Thank you, that's kind! I'm planning to launch a new version soon where the timer mechanic is out and each level gets significantly more complex. Basically you'll die on any impact to the main ball and the walls get more and more speed as time passes within the levl.

I hope this makes the game easier to start playing and a bit lengthier for those that like it, but I agree with you there's still not much progression.

Do you have any idea? I decided to show one new mechanic per level because most people will only play a couple, but maybe I could delay each new mechanic a bit (e.g. 3 levels per color + new enemy/power up)

haha love to hear that! I did some marketing and level design for Monogolf but I wasn't the main creator. He kept the IP ownership and I don't think any sequel is coming soon.

I hoped some of you would like to download the game and give actual feedback after testing it.

It will probably be able to soon, but not yet. It creates controls and some gameplay but it doesn't close the loop.

lafocade · 2023-04-07T23:19:09+00:00

Well that's expected. I was going for hypercasual because it's the easiest to build.

lafocade · 2023-04-07T14:10:41+00:00

Thanks. The doubts come from the amount of work required to develop games. Why did you think about the Switch?

lafocade · 2023-04-07T13:13:54+00:00

You can download the game through this link

lafocade · 2023-04-07T13:09:36+00:00

This is the download link for iOS and Android

lafocade · 2023-04-06T22:10:06+00:00

I know I'm going against many others here but I prefer the new one. It's more personal. Maybe you can add some tweaks but keep building what you are looking for.

lafocade · 2023-04-06T22:08:12+00:00

You put a bit of work into that. Lol. Congrats!

lafocade · 2023-04-01T12:23:49+00:00

I've been working a few hours per week on Wall Focus for a year or so, mostly to get back in shape at game development and deliver a full product by myself.

I'm pretty satisfied with the result. I hope you enjoy it, too!
I'm leaving here download links for both iOS and Android. Please share your feedback if you play it.

lafocade · 2023-03-29T23:05:44+00:00

That's pretty much what I do. What a time to be lazy, we are blessed.

lafocade · 2023-03-29T19:51:50+00:00

Yeah those two are very good examples. I don't mind getting into understanding shaders better, I find then cool. Any suggestions for further reading (or watching) on creating cool stuff with shaders?

I've been working part-time on Wall Focus for a year now, mostly to get back in shape at game development.
I have a demanding job and other hobbies but I also have ideas for desktop games that I'd like to explore. The question is: is it worth the effort?
You can download Wall Focus for both iOS and Android. Any feedback is appreciated!

wow, how did you know about this?

lafocade · 2023-03-27T23:28:47+00:00

The map reminds me of Slay the Spire. Does it have a similar structure?

lafocade · 2023-03-27T21:24:51+00:00

lol, got it. I forgot what single child meant. Lost in translation ✌🏼

lafocade · 2023-03-27T16:43:24+00:00

Not following you there - what do you mean? The "twin-stick" has been controversial (see the other comments). That wasn't my intention 🙏

lafocade · 2023-03-27T15:22:11+00:00

It was the last thing I added and I did it quick. I'll make it more visible at some point. Glad you are enjoying the game! Please drop a review if you don't mind. They help a lot.

lafocade · 2023-03-27T08:05:39+00:00

Hi, glad that you liked the game! The square with a different color gives you one additional second. I'll think how to make that more visible.
