Cool ideas and execution, swinging that ball was somewhat satisfying :) I liked the art. Kinda unfortunate that there is no fitting  music, some kind of 8bit would probably be great addition

This is a great jam game. Shows a lot of cool concepts and ideas. Like other people have said, if we could combo kill a bunch of rats that would be epic. Love the consequence of carrying the ball slows us down, that's a nice touch.

Some really good work here, great job.

Lov the "A Link to the past" theme! Nostalgia attack over here :) 

I also like the creative way to interpret the theme.

Cool art and idea i like it! Well made game, did your consider adding smashing several enemies at once?

Developer

Hey Paryszek, this is a great idea, I want to make it so that the enemies dont slow down the ball. Thanks for playing :)

Pretty fun game, I liked the art and the mechanic, though it felt a little empty without music. The sound effects fit the pixel art perfectly! I accidentally clipped into the wall and couldn't do anything after that, requiring a restart :P

Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback :) The wall bug definitely needs a fix. Sorry that it happend

Cool idea! The movement was a bit slow, which made needing to restart really frustrating. Could have also been interesting to have a bit more "physics" on the ball to make using it a bit more satisfying.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback. :)

Really nice game. When I understood that you get more chains from chests, it blew my mind. And the level design was really nice. Sadly I got eaten by a chest and turned into a homeless knight living inside a chest in an abandoned dungeon :(

Developer

x’D

Thank you for playing and your comment, made me laugh.

Really cool game really like the art only problem is it was pretty easy to end up glitched in the wall and the only way to fix it was full restart overall good job.

Developer

Yes the wall bug definitely needs a fix. Thanks a lot for playing :)

Haha, I'm lovin' it how you had the same idea about the base mechanics. We had a similar approach, yet another genre. Funny enough ;)

I like the controls, the movement is very smooth.. but the throwing mechanincs were a bit confusing for me - I think I maybe didn't get it right.

But I think this game has very good potential with a bit of tweaking here and there. Well done!

hey thmz, maybe i will add a little tutorial to explain the mechanics in the game. Thanks for your feedback :)

I love it. thought in level 2 i got stuck in the wall. LOL!

Developer

LOL sorry that you got stuck :P

A very classic interpretation of the theme, but a good game nonetheless, good job ! A music would have been cool though !

Developer

Thanks for playing and your feedback :D

Maybe some improvement can get this more fun.

Developer

Yes you are right, it needs some tweaking. Thanks for playing :)

Has lots of potential

Developer

Thank you for playing :)

Idea has potential, I can see how enjoyable it could be. Yet the implementation is very buggy. It would work better for me if the mechanics were also more integrated in the visuals/story. Like, why move so much faster with a ball and chain on your leg rather than while carrying it?

Developer(+1)

Hi saharo, you have really good points. Thank you for playing and sharing :) I will try to tweak the mechanics a bit in the future version.

Submitted(+1)

I got stuck in the wall a lot and couldn't finish the game because of that sadly, and the controls should be explained a little more in the game. That being said, this game was really fun and has some interesting mechanics, good job!

Developer

Hey thanks a lot for your feedback! I will fix the wall bug in a later version of the game. Cheers

Really nice concept. Sounddesign is a little bit off and you get stuck in the wall time to time but its really good

Developer

Hey thank you for your feedback. I will try to fix the bug, and I would like to add music too. ;)

Developer

Hey thank you for playing :) I will add music, when I continue to work on the project. :D
