@rahkumar2012 To clarify, the reviews are from the game Soccer Online: Ball 3D, not from the game I have as a background in my profile.

[Mariusz Kowalczyk (Game Dev) @Unusualsoft]

My game just reached 10 000 reviews on Steam!

[Mariusz Kowalczyk (Game Dev) @Unusualsoft]

@ThunderDomeGam1 It is Soccer Online: Ball 3D

[Mariusz Kowalczyk (Game Dev) @Unusualsoft]

@rahkumar2012 13 years of work on one game, it took 8 years on Steam to achieve this.

@TitantalesGames @simplex_fx Right

[Mariusz Kowalczyk (Game Dev) @Unusualsoft]

@simplex_fx The game is on Steam since 2017 (was released in 2012 outside of Steam), so it took 8 years to earn 10 000 reviews. Also the game ws free to play from 2017 to 2020, from 2020 it costs $1. It also has an item shop.

I am not rich, but I am able to continue as a game developer.

Do you pay attention to the short description when browsing for games on Steam?

@polite_party To curve the ball, you need to apply the force over many frames. The force should be perpendicular to the ball movement direction.

What is your first impression after seeing this screenshot from my game Ball 3D?

@tomgvalve @tomgvalve Could you please take a look at my private message? I need help and my support ticket is without any answer for 35 days, even though I asked several times for the answer. I am not sure if it is a bug. I was always able to get the answer after a few days. Thank you.

[Mariusz Kowalczyk (Game Dev) @Unusualsoft]

@tomgvalve Hello, sorry to bother you, but I sent you a private message, please answer when you have time. Thank you.

@retro_asobi Thx, I will probably end up just using music assets.

I recently realized that wall jumping will not be intuitive without wall sliding.

Name the first Retro Pixelart 2D Platformer that now comes to your head.

The gif below is here to show my game, it's not relevant to the question.

Which screenshot would you pick as the main (first) one?

[Mariusz Kowalczyk (Game Dev) @Unusualsoft]

@MKSchmidt30 Thank you for your advices. I have a pretty solid mindset when it comes to how I approach feedback: I listen to it and mix it with my own knowledge. I used this approach for over 12 years in my multiplayer game, where player seems to have their own vision of my game ;)

[Mariusz Kowalczyk (Game Dev) @Unusualsoft]

Yes/No

Looks like a game you would play?
