I had tones of fun with this and i love the concept!  Only made it four levels in, but I'll come back when I'm not trying to play 5 thousand games lol.

Developer

Thanks Votron! :) Do that and share your result :)

juegazo 10/10 (no joke, its very good)

Developer

Hahahah thanks :)

Developer

Thanks Physic Snail Studios!

Very nicely polished and presented, and a really fun concept. I found it pretty frustrating in places, and it wasn't clear at first what the goal was, but it's a really impressive game. Well done!

Developer

Thanks!

I thought I was really clear what to do, guess I need to be even more clear next time :)
Added some description what the goal is and a GIF how to beat the first level :)

Very clever idea, and very polished for a PICO8 game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks Beep Yeah! There is a lot of great PICO-8 games out there :)

This game really excels in all areas, a lot of amazing work went into this. Love it!

Developer

Thanks Robin, I really put my soul into this :)

I loved the idea and the art of this game! Very fun, even it was so hard to me, but I think that was the idea! :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yes some levels are a little bit hard, but you have unlimited tries so its just keep on trying. But I will tweak the most difficult levels in a post jam update :)

Love the idea and execution, it's really fun to play! So far my favorite game of the jam!

Developer

Such praise, it makes me very happy to hear that you liked it!😊

Submitted(+1)

love this idea, especially with how the beetle cant hold onto the ball for long, really keeps things chaotic!

Developer

Thanks, yes I was trying a release and catch ball with button presses but it did not feel fun. Glad you liked the current implementation 😊

Submitted(+1)

Super polished and really fun. Great level designs and an amusing take on the pong mechanic! The sound design is super pleasing too!

Developer

Thanks Victor for the nice feedback! :)

Cool concept that works well. Also much more content than I expected and really well polished graphics.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Happy that you liked it :)

The graphics, the gameplay, the mechanic, the style, everything about this game is absolutely gorgeous.

Developer

Thanks Danial!

This has surprisingly many levels for a jam game! Well done!

Also the difficulty curve is great! A lot of playtesting must have been done!!

(Just a quick bag report: When the ball starts speeding up, while "ping-pong-ing" between you and a wall, it reaches a speed, in which it actually looks static and you can't pick it up with the player, nor change its direction )

Good Luck!

Developer

Thanks! And I will look into it after the jam, there is a button in the pause menu (press p) then choose reset ball and you can continue 🙏🏻

I really like the game!

Developer

Happy to hear that!

Submitted(+1)

Super cool! I love how you have to manage two things at once. This reminds me of Wizorb too.

Developer

Thanks,  I thought so too, makes the genres fresh :)

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! I like it!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

nice game but the nt concepts just don't play well together even if the execution is way good

Submitted(+1)

Having to split your attention between the paddle and the character is a clever concept, and it's well presented. I seemed to have some audio stuttering on the web version, though.

Developer

Thanks! Yes, sometimes the web export works wonky on pico8, there is binaries as well if you have problem with the sounds,
