this was fun and felt great to play! Nice music

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Nice game. Good luck on your Unity learning path :) I really like the sound choices

Developer

Thanks, I had a fun time choosing the music and sounds!

Submitted

The sound effect upon hitting other balls is really satisfying and the knockback on the balls when using the powerup is great!

Developer

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!

Submitted

I remember doing this course, love the additions you made really filled it out.. Well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing, I had a fun time switching out the code and adding my own touches!

Submitted

It's a simple but fun game. The only thing is that when you die, there's no Play Again button, so you can't try again without refreshing the page.

Developer

Thanks for playing! A few people have commented about that bug already, on some screen resolutions the return to main menu button is off the screen

Submitted

Crazy how fun a simple game can be. Just an FYI, your UI for the game over menu doesn't scale properly. Main menu button was just barely visible at the bottom of my screen.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into fixing that bug.

Submitted

Simple fun game, challenging - what else do you need? 

Developer

I absolutely agree, thanks for your feedback!

Submitted

nice work. simple but fun and addictive.

I was Very confused initially as 1st level I didnt really know who i was or what i was doing.. but apparently I died but no death screen so from then on i was watching a game where i had no controls and didnt know I was dead lol. After a restart I figured it out and was all good. Guess time meant you didnt get a death screen in but it was great. I would imagine as a "bug fix" you could even add in a scene reload on death and still upload that as a fix now if you wanted.

congrats on the game jam

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the detailed feedback! That is a game-breaking bug, and I appreciate you sticking with it after the restart!

Submitted

Super fun! I could see this being very addictive with more powers and enemy variety. Loads of potential.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I plan to add more features after the jam is done.

Submitted

Very much a tiny world! I like the concept and it's challenging. It's just the right amount of fight against the momentum.

Developer

I'm glad to hear that, thanks for your feedback!

Submitted

Simple, but played really well!  The balls sure have a lot of heft to them, I could feel the fight with momentum the whole time :D

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback! Tuning that momentum was a tricky balance, so it's great to hear it hit the mark. I'm even going to tweak it further after the jam!

Submitted

Wow this game is just to fun, i got to level 8 balls! Great game! ☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍

Developer

Thanks for playing, I don't think I've even gotten that far!

Submitted

LOL 🤣

Submitted

Fun and simple the way jam games are supposed to be!

Developer(+1)

I Appreciate it! I tried to keep things simple and fun.

Submitted

I like the game, the ball mechanic is really fun. The only thing I’d add is a score system to give people a reason to play longer. Also, the background music loop needs fixing. After a while, the music just stops, which breaks the immersion for me. It seems like the kind of fun game you can shut your brain off and enjoy while listening to the music.

Developer(+1)

I'm glad that you enjoyed the game! I’ll look into fixing the music loop, and potentially adding a counter/score system. I Appreciate the feedback!

Submitted

Hi! I really liked the music and sounds, they are nice. The game is a little bit hard for me, but I've managed to collect some gems! It's quite fun!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the music and found the game fun!

Submitted

I really liked the controls for the game. I wish that there were a points system or something to show me how well I'm doing in the game even if it's just for myself. But I played through it a bit. I liked tricking them into falling off lol.

Developer

Thanks for playing, tricking them was probably my favorite tactic as well. I appreciate your feedback!

Submitted

I had a good time bouncing around, and it was fun to watch the rounds keep going after you die and all the enemies just run right off the ledge. Good game.

Developer

I'm happy that you enjoyed it! I forgot the enemies did that 😆
