Number one in the world
Pretty good
Good
Close…
Huge Pixeljam fan.
However.
I agree with the other reviewer that the bottom of the action area is too close to the bottom of my screen. Swiping near the bottom frequently triggers the app minimizing function on my iPhone, taking me out of the game. It doesn’t matter where I begin holding the throw. This is a pretty severe oversight imo.
Still, you get 4 stars 😇

Improvement suggestions
This game is good and all just please make the make the game pixels 4x4 or 8x8 any pixel higher than 2x2 and add like accessories for your character and make it so their different colored characters different colored and different themed corn bags/corn holes so I hope you take my info greatly
Great concept, Bad controls
I love the idea of a retro-style mobile version of one of my favorite yard games, but the controls are not good. There is no point in trying to get the “feel” for the perfect toss; the interface of an iPhone touchscreen allows for zero degrees of error. I spent more time than I care to admit attempting to get the muscle memory to learn how to throw “in-the-hole,” but 99 times out of 100 the beanbag either goes flying out of bounds or falls short of the board.
And it doesn’t even feel like cornhole anymore. It feels like I’m wrestling against a broken slot machine that just eats my time instead of quarters. Every flick, every swipe — all of it pointless, because no matter how I adjust my “technique,” the game decides on a whim whether the bag goes into orbit or plummets like a brick. And WHY is there no calibration? Why can’t I just tune the sensitivity so it doesn’t punish me for having normal human thumbs?!
The worst part? Every time I almost convince myself I’ve finally cracked the code, I line up the perfect shot, I release it at just the right angle, and then… it SKIDS OFF THE BOARD LIKE IT’S MADE OF TEFLON. I’M NOT PLAYING BEANBAG TOSS — I’M PLAYING “WATCH IN HORROR AS YOUR BAG DEFIES THE LAWS OF PHYSICS.”
DO YOU HEAR ME, DEVS? THIS IS NOT FUN. THIS IS NOT RETRO. THIS IS NOT ANYTHING BUT TORTURE. I JUST WANTED TO PLAY A CASUAL GAME OF CORNHOLE, AND INSTEAD I’M SCREAMING AT MY PHONE IN THE MIDDLE OF A COFFEE SHOP LIKE A DERANGED LUNATIC.
FIX. THE. CONTROLS. OR DELETE THIS APP FROM EXISTENCE.

Nice Job
Very fun game. I will say I’m having the most fun on the balloons game mode for sure.
One thing though it’s a little frustrating when I try to get a nice arc on my throw and it goes too far offscreen and it comes down on my head. Obviously the developers are aware of this feature but I think it would be wise to tweak it so that it doesn’t happen when it clearly shouldn’t land on my head.
Speaking of which, in the balloons game mode especially the bag flies back at my character often (since the balloons bounce the bag around), and it’s tiring to see my character fall to the ground once in every 5 throws. I love the animations for getting hit, but I would also appreciate a way to turn them off in settings when it happens too often.
Only little issues, fun game.

this game is peak
every day i play this game and the little guy misses every time. one night i played the game at 3am and got 600 points, and then it shot up to 666 and the lil man crawled out of the phone screen. his eyes were bloodshot and he was hyperrealistic and reached his spindly hands around my neck, but he offered me cornhole lessons. now i’m a champion cornholer and just got asked out by my crush. thanks for the help, cornhole hero!

My information On The Game
The game is a blast. I love it, my score Torment is 7098 I know it’s so much. I just got to round nine. Now in blitz. It’s a little bit hard because you need to score as much as you can in 30 Seconds so my score is 5097 It’s normal now in balloons are. It’s in the top Three of favorite mode. So my Score is. 3097 Not bad. But it’s good. Now my top 3 is torment, balloons, blitz Blitz. It’s the last because it’s so hard. But, I Like It I. Hope That You Like It if you didn’t try it. Try it now. If you don’t like it, you can delete it, but I hope you don’t delete it because it’s you delete it. You don’t like it. I hope one day this game is Five Stars.

Amazing game
Havnt been playing an iphone game this much in years. Love the sound and style! Only thing i wish is that you could tap to speed up or skip the countdown before each round. Lemme speed it up! 10/10 a wonderful game. Even paid for no ads had to kick some back to the devs.
Fun but.
Fun game. Simple. Easy to pick up. Difficult to master.
The game zoom is insane. Please zoom out a little bit. When I press start, the bottom bar on my phone gets activated. Fun game though.

love it!
love the game. it’s chill but competitive enough to make me rage sometimes. would love to see a practice mode! i feel like i don’t really have enough time between “DARN”s to effectively hone my pixel arms
It’s alright
Meh
Amazing
Simplicity at its best. The physics are great, the modes are great, I do think the balloon one could be done a little better, but I honestly don’t know how, it’s fine how it is I guess. Overall it is amazing and a very good game for any purpose.
Easy 5/5 for me, I’m excited to see what’s next.

Fantastic game super addictive
Sometimes my bags will fall in after a few seconds but the game will end the round without allowing me to the throw the extra bags

Love this game!
Feels like I’m playing on an Atari, which is what I love about it! Awesome gameplay and I love the animation when you accidentally hit yourself!
Love this game
Definetely worth a download. Also would love multiplayer, but it doesn’t necessarily need it. Get Alvvays to do your soundtrack! I would play this everyday all day all year if you did.
Makes my device feel like a portable 2600
The team at Pixeljam understand how to mix fun factor with the right amount of a retro challenge. Old school gamers will appreciate the humorous character animations, and all the feels from the classic sound design. Very fun nostalgic vibes.
Tip : Try an underhanded wind up, and increase the arm power in the options to start nailing that perfect shot.

Really cool mechanics, fun game
Only thing is the bottom of the screen is too close to the edge of the phone, making underhand shots a little harder. If we could set the ground up higher at expense of the sky that would be nice.
Also pass and play multiplayer, but I am assuming thats coming bc this game is too fun not to have a multiplayer that me and my wife can play waiting for a table at a restaurant.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! You can actually start your swipe from anywhere on the screen, so hopefully that addresses the "ground too close to the bottom" issue? Pass and play multiplayer is a good idea, hadn't thought of that yet actually. If possible we'd like to add actual async online multiplayer, but pass n play is a lot easier to start with...
Needs Gamecenter
Love it but would love it more if I could compete and compare score with my friends / family.
Response from developer
We are actually adding global leaderboards as the next major update, so you'll be able to do just that. Glad you like this game!
Well made and fun physics!
I really enjoyed the balloon game the most. Hitting yourself with the sack made me laugh out loud. The animations are smooth and satisfying. Feels a little bit underwhelming like I was hoping for more gameplay. Too much dead time between games, making the pace feel slow. Overall, the mechanics are solid!

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! Global leaderboards are coming up next, and we plan on adding a lot more modes of play as well this year. We are aware of the pacing between games as well, and will tighten it up soon. The Cornhole Hero is just getting warmed up :)
