Good Game
A great twist on breakout, and nice visuals. There isn't a ton of dodging to be had in the beginning, because you are just too big to dodge anything. It feels like the real game begins only when you get smaller. That game is pretty fun though
i really liked the concept! the gameplay was super dynamic with the game getting easier as your platform got smaller, but also more balls appearing so the challenge was always at a good level. there were definitely a few bugs that hurt the experience, like random pieces of my platform breaking even though the meteor hit a completely different part of the platform, and also the occasional meteor getting stuck inside my platform and doing massive damage.
with a little bug fixing and polish, this would be a pretty complete game, which is CRAZY for a game jam project! i thought it was especially impressive how you squeezed a whole online leaderboard in, it made it a lot more engaging to play.

Interesting idea of reverse atari breakout, but sometimes you have no option to avoid meteors, good game overall!
Cool concept for a game, i think the controls could have been less floaty and responsive, this type of game requires more rpecision to avoid the meteors.
The visuals are very good. I was a little confused as to what was happening and I couldn’t really avoid meteors, everything was too hectic. With a couple tweaks on the difficulty and some fixes on how the “balls” interact with the platform it could be really cool. Good job!
Sick game! Lasted 2:41. Great art, audio, atmosphere. Game idea is cool and fits the theme, I appreciate a cool twist on a brick breaker. Also, amazing to have a leaderboard!
A pleasant and addictive game! I like the visuals and the chill music. Everything is well done.
It's fun, and having a leaderboard is supercool!
Cool Game! Music was very enjoyable. The addition of a leaderboard is also a plus. Really only felt annoyed once when a meteor landed in between my rocks and killed half of them lol but otherwise great job!
I never thought I would be playing as a bunch of rocky platforms, but here we are :D. Pretty cool game, rather difficult. Coherent art style and music is good, I also like the addition of a leaderboard.
3/5
I feel like the game could be more enjoyable if the developer had more time to refine it. Still, it earned high scores from me. The elements are good, but the overall gameplay could benefit from some extra development time.
Really cool that you have a leaderboard ! I like the presentation on this and the gameplay is certainly challenging but fun (not seeing myself getting on the leaderboard without a cheese strat though XD).
Nice game, lots of balls flying around and I couldn’t get past 2 minutes lmao but the mechanics are nice, love that there is a leaderboard and record tracking. That is a fantastic touch.
very nice game, i thought at first that i need to make them decay as fast as possible but it turned out to be lot harder to make them survive
You could do a fastest game over speedrun lol
I almost raged when a lava ball get stuck right in the middle and destroyed most of them lol 🥲 Anyway GG
Interesting idea, cool graphics and enjoyable gameplay, I like it
thank you very much!
AMAZING JOB! really cool, clean gameplay and graphics, LOVE the audio. Easy to see where you might take this in the future too if you decide to keep working on it! :)
Thanks! We’re glad you’ve enjoyed it!
thanks! It’s so nice reading so many positive comments down here!
Good game.
I don't know if it's because I'm bad at it or if there is an issue but sometime it feels like the water goes through but the meteors never miss. I'm not bad at the game, it must be a bug, right?
Hey !!
Not a bug , intended effect . meteors go through red(almost broken ones) and blue goes through full green (perfectly healthy platforms).
since you start with a lot fully healthy platforms , its normally to feel that . And no you r not bad !!! you did great !!!!!
Thank you for trying
Ohhh- you have a leaderboards, neat! Well I know I'm not going to be good enough to rank at the top of those haha. Anyway, this game has a pretty cool presentation, and the concept and simple but well-executed. I was dumb for a second and was running into the meteors on purpose, but I quickly realized my stupidity. I do wish it ramped up in difficulty a bit faster though, and maybe the movement of the platforms itself could be snappier or juicier, but overall good work :)
