As the collection of game recipes builds, so do the comments!

Let's see what Michael Fernie thinks of the Meatballs.

Its pretty good.


\o/yeay\o/

I find the ship very hard to control. At least with the joystick. Less so with the keyboard. I couldnt get off the first level.


.. I had a slight panic attack, reading that, and had to double check I'd put the right controller code in!
Yep. It's just harder. *phew*

Yeah, I've made it a little bit too sensitive, perhaps? Tapping on the keyboard is enough to turn, but with a joystick, you end up having to do subtle tilts to move.
Might have to add an option for that.
I'll look into it.



Might be one of those things you to practice and play around with to get the hang of it. Better chance Im just bad at the game. Heh.


I'll admit that I still haven't bothered to hook up a joystick to try this.
In fact, since switching to a MacBook, I haven't yet plugged in ANY joystick.

I did test that my PS4 controller worked with it, but then had to faff about to hook it back up to my iPad again afterwards, and vowed never to attempt that again!!

I'll have to think about options.
. Options will probably involve buying a ton of those USB-A-to-C dongles, and plopping them onto all my joypads/sticks!


Anyway.. Glad you liked the game.
I'll have a play with the controls, and see if I can get them to intuitively recognise an analogue stick..
.. That could work, right!?
Hmm..


You can Play Meatballs in Space in the Browsercade, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.
Alternatively, you can play it on Switch, with a copy of SmileBASIC, and the Download Key 4NKSKQE1Y
