"A juicy game feels alive and responds to everything you do
tons of cascading action and response for minimal user input. "

Big thanks to Niklas Ström for making music and sound effects for us and to Stina for filming.

"Juicy things are things that wobble, squirt, bounce around, make cute noises"

"make the game feel good to interact with"

THATS WHAT SHE SAID

[Corolido]

The end is supposed to be too juicy just to make a contrast. They are not saying your game should have a zillion effects.

very nice video. wish i watch this much earlier!

thanks

delta = abs( mouse.x - paddle.x )

paddle.xScale = delta;

paddle.yScale = 1/delta;

(this is only pseudo-code)

[ConstructDude]

so set paddle scale to paddle.x/mouse.x? or *muose.X

[Ashok Menon]

It says in the video, they make the yScale and xScale of the paddle inversely and directly proportional (respectively) to the absolute difference between the paddle's x position and the mouse's x position.

How did you make the box squash and stretch?

"OH GOD IT'S SQUIRTING EVERYWHERE!" would be a good description.
