Universal Flawless (by Nauris Andzans)

i got a promocode for the game and i gotta say, ive always had a thing for these "bounce-a-ball-in-the-right-direction"-kind of games! ive had some issues with the gameplay in other games and the lack of content in some but this game still keeps me playing, it changes up the gameplay as you progress and adds new element and challenges. the difficulty is good, its not to simple and it took about 15-16 levels before the gameplay got very challenging!

if you like puzzle games and physics games i would suggest you give this game a go!

 

I wouldn't mind a promo code if you are still offering.
Thank you.

 

Oooooh! This is very similar to Trick Shot (iOS) except it actually has puzzles to conquer instead of just endless trial and error attempts to get a ball to bounce into a box. I mean I actually love Trick Shot, but Flawless appears to have really improved upon the formula.

[Also, I do not mean to imply the dev used Trick Shot as inspiration. Just that the formula is similar enough for comparison.]

 

Thanks! Took 33THYWF7TAPF. Will leave some impressions later.

 

JHELMTJPHPW7 taken too, thanks a lot for the promo code will be back with impressions later.

 

Ugh, I wrote a 3 paragraph impression last night and fell asleep while I was typing it. Long story short, I deleted it accidentally and I can't really remember everything i said.

Pretty much, as other people have said, this game shares many things with the game Trick Shot, as well as ReBounce, and originally Dude Perfect. That being said, this game is really fun and well made, so if you like any of those games I listed, you will most definitely like this!

The main menu is beautifully minimalistic, I think I ended up staring at the fading color changing gradient on the word Flawless for about 2-3 min lol. It's very mesmerizing. But that's just an added bonus, the real fun is in the game itself.

Thank you so much dev for sending me a code, I will try to provide a more detailed impression when I have time to play more. So far the game looks and plays incredibly well. The best of luck to you on the launch and all of your future endeavors. It was very cool and generous of you to provide all these codes for us, and we all greatly appreciate it!

Thanks, and I'll leave a review on the App Store

 

Enjoyed Trick Shot so a more puzzle like game inspired by it sounds right up my alley.

Thanks! I'll post impressions after I've had a chance to play a bit.

Played for a while and really digging this. As others have said, it takes Trick Shot and improves it in all the right ways. The minimalist graphics and nice sound effects work well and the difficulty curve seems just right.

At first, I was thinking it needed a little tutorial but it's easy to pick up and play (but difficult to master).

Thanks again for the code!

thanks a lot!

 

All codes gone, so I bought the game
A bit early in the game to give an impression (at L14) on the puzzles, but visually it lacks a bit of contrast on the white boxes (for my taste at least). The dotted trajectory line has flaws. It is only helpful at low speeds, at higher stretches the dots become too far apart to be useful. And the dots aren't visible at all sometimes. Ah now I see why, the dots are the same white as parts of the background. This is also the same problem with the contrast of the white boxes; when they are positioned against the whiter part of the background, they kind of disappear.
All should be easily fixable, but as the game is now, it doesn't reach Trick Shot's finesse and playability

 

I think the contrast issue is caused mainly by the fact that the background has a horizontal band where it is (much) whiter than the rest. and this whiter band is in the play field. Look at Trick Shot where the white(-ish) band is positioned much lower and not interfering with game elements. And of course Trick Shot ball trajectory is indicated in black so it never has the problem of disappearing as it does in Flawless.

 

I blazed through the 50 levels in well under an hour. the game copies its core physics concept from Trick Shot (a bouncing ball, a floor) and keeps close visually too. The core physics concept however is combined with the game play from Okay?, where you need to bounce off from each of the objects to make them all disappear. So I wouldn't say it extends Trick Shot, but combines "Trick Shot + Okay?" which makes for an interesting combination in principle. However, there are some comments to make about Flawless:
- 50 levels is not much
- No Game Center
- There is no replay-ability as in Trick Shot (where you have secondary and tertiary objectives that unlock at some point)
- Some levels are really easy, interrupting the difficulty progression
- Level design is not so tight, many levels can be passed by just bouncing around a lot
- [Level design] You can cheat your way through some levels (for example 38, 45)
- The angle of bouncing-off from the first object feels strange. Maybe because the ball has rotation?
- Contrast issue (see my previous post)

By the way, image from Okay? (note, it has no gravity, velocity or friction, the only thing that matters is position and angle of the ball you shoot):

 

Dev interactions like this are one of the many reasons I love TA! It's just so nice to have a platform where you can share constructive feedback and chat directly with a game's creator(s). I only wish more developers were as transparent and open to discussion as Nauris (and others on TA) have been.
