The game concept is very nice, the controls are kinda bad but nice try, Rated it! If possible do rate and play my game :)

Very interesting mechanic!  I think I found a way to cheese the game by just keeping the ball at the top of the screen the whole time, but that could be easily fixed.  Overall, the game does one thing and it does it very well, which for me is exactly what I like to see in a jam.  Also, I really liked the music!

Great game! I think you laid down the foundation to start working on a bigger, complete project after the jam has ended.

Was very fun to play, one mechanic, but very well executed. Well done!

Really nice idea for a game. It was actually more difficult than I expected to coordinate my mouse hovering with aiming the lil' ball guy! I really liked the music as well, though it didn't quite loop perfectly. The simple art style was nice too - it reminded me of the original Gameboy! :)

One suggestion I had was that the winged power up be changed in some way. I actually found it more annoying to constantly have the ball off screen due to it travelling higher... perhaps instead it could have given you greater control over the balls left and right movements instead?

Really enjoyed the concept though!

That's a brilliant idea for the wing powerup. I knew the mechanic hovered between not fun and genuinely awful, but I didn't know what to do with it and I thought the animation was funny so I kept it in. Your idea is so simple that I'm almost mad I didn't think of it, and it would fix the powerup immediately. Thank you!

I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^

I would love to play your game, unfortunately, my computer can not handle .rar files. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm sure your game would be great!

I really liked the concept of this one! when an object is hidden, I appreciate the fact that it also doesn't have any collision , further adding to the theme. The only thing I would maybe adjust is make the character movement a little bit snappier, or make the acceleration value (if you have one) a bit faster so you can react a bit quicker to blocks that just appeared. All in all though, a very clever game. I enjoyed it!

Cool idea! I felt like the camera was a bit too slow compared to the ball movement and it make it even harder than it is (which is already hard haha) but it's overall a very great idea, seriously!

Nice game you made there. I must admit I seem to be quite bad at your game as I die way to soon. :-D

I think the "look area" should be a bit bigger and the character could be a bit more responsive. I also managed to get stuck between blocks on my very first try. My luck I guess... ;-)

Otherwise cool game. Well done!
