On a touch device this is probably a great game.

I like the graphics and audio. I can't get past level 2 though :(

Fun little game to play! Enjoyed trying to beat every level with the challenge of beating it in a limited amount of shoots allowed along with obstacles. The slow motion was a nice touch as well.

Physics did feel a little off for me sometimes though. Sometimes I would shoot and it would barely move and other times a shoot would bring me instantly to the other side of the map, but maybe there was something that I didn't understand why it would do that.

Thank you so much for playing the game! ;) The applied force is following the current inertia, so if you were shooting in the direction of movement, you would be vastly speed up, otherwise the ball should be like slowed down, so changing directions is more difficult with such approach and thanks to this more strategic :D

I felt sorry tossing around the poor ladybug but it was a fun game overall!

Thank you so much for tossing the ladybug! :D

Fun game with cool pixel art and sound effects. It reminds me of Red Ball browser games that I played when I was younger. I enjoyed playing this game you made!

This is so simple yet extremely fun. I really like the slow-motion effect and this moment when the ball rolls very slowly towards the star. I have nothing bad to say about this game - it simply works and is a great example of a polished game for a jam. Great job!

very nice game that has some pretty simple mechanics but with nice level design and difficulty curve

A very simple and satisfying game to play. I like when I can complete a game jam game in one sitting. Good job on the difficulty curve and the overall cuteness of this game.

I really enjoyed playing through this game! In particular, I felt like the difficulty curve was just about right (took me a good few attempts to beat level 10 :D).

A ghost coming from the ladybug that indicated the direction in which it would fly on release would have maybe been nice, just so there's no need to look away from the ladybug if you're trying to be precise with the controller at the bottom of the screen. That said, maybe this would look cluttered in practice.

Great job!

Really fun concept! Reminds me of older iOS mobile games like Cut the Rope, Angry Birds etc. Great work!

Easy to pick up, good graphics, comfortable music, requires some path planning, and had to think about the bounce angle and stuff. it was pure fun!

This concept is really cool! Great work!

A fun physics game with a ladybug - great choice  😉. 

Very slick with great graphics, audio and lots of polish. Well done! 

Submitted(+1)

god this was really fun to play! a little hard using a trackball hhahaah but really enjoyed it! :D

Clean, slick, and polished! Great job! A small tweak recommendation from me would be to make the bug button that changes from pull to push a toggle so you can visually tell which setting is on without having to launch the ladybug.

Nice entry! Good game play! Simple and effective level design!


Congrats!

A really nice and simple game! I like the seemingly ordinary mechanics of moving the ladybug across a level. The audio and graphics are fantastic too, well done!

Congrats for your game! I love the graphics and the music
