General description

Title Pinch Ball
Platform PC
Position Trident College of Information Technology
Prize Tokuda Yuuhei
Reason for the Honorable Mention
The menu screen and play screen are both simple and the play is simple, but the idea of pulling
the screen and using the rebound to make the ball fly is interesting.
 
To take the ball to the goal you must overcome hills and differences in ground level.
There is also gravity, so you must think about the ball’s angle of flight and make the ball fly again before it stops.
 
The operation is a little confusing at first, but with time you get good at controlling the ball.
 
I think the stage configurations have been well thought out, such as there being some places where the ball will hit thorns if it flies too far.
My evaluation also took into consideration that this game was submitted by a single person.

Work Introdution
This is a pulling action game with an addictive operation feel.
 
The biggest attractions of this game are the unique operation feel and the dynamically warping screen.
The rules and operation are simple. For the game area you use
a mouse to drag the place you want to pull, set the direction, and then release it to make the ball fly to get it to the goal.
 
How far the ball flies or how intricately it can be moved depends on the player.
This game is a great realizing of a unique idea.
