I saw this one in the top 20 and I knew I'd love it! I love how intuitive it is to control, yet it still requires skill to really get going. The movement of the player and the ball makes me think of some ballistic soccer player dribbling madly down the field. So fun!
Very engaging mechanic, I love the design of smacking around the ball and the tons of destruction, and then you add enemies that require you to not destroy the environment. I think the tutorial was really quite a nice twist on them, push all the buttons in the game and then boom, game starts.
Lovely style and squash 'n' stretch and other juice. Would love to see more from this (and maybe on Steam/a commercial release?)
I think my only critique is that you keep having to run behind the ball to kick it further, I think it's good but sometimes it feels a bit un-intuitive in the heat of the moment where you're fighting enemies, and I lose control quite a bit. Not sure where I'm going with this but honestly, this game is super enjoyable and great!
Very nice! The game feel and art and music are very satisfying, and the whole implementation shows sound application of fundamentals and there’s good polish.
If I had to change something, I might rework how the ball is controlled, because as it stands it’s a bit hard to make go exactly where you want. It got better with some practice though, and the ability to walk through the ball and it having such a large kill radius compensates for the inaccuracy, so maybe it’s fine as it is. I can’t help but think it seems like a bit of a patch solution.
There’s good variety in enemy types and the difficulty seemed alright. Overall I think the stand-out feature is the look and feel of the game, I think you guys did a really good job with that.
Very fun to just fling a way the ball, felt like it has some real weight!
Such an amazing joy to play, this felt so great very well done!!
This game is really juicy and well polished! Really love the idea of having to go behind where u want to shoot towards in order to launch forward. Game feel is amazing, and the overall experience was really appealing!
Easy perfect score, this game is super impressive and above all, super fun! Great job on all the animations and original concept.
That was an awesome experience. I'm pretty sure this game gonna be in top 100

I loved the game! Very fun mechanic done well! I like how you could destroy some of the walls and kill the enemies at the same time with the same mechanic! The squish on the ball made it feel even better and I got very sad when my ball had a crack at the end screen xd
Super great game!
My version was bugged for some reason and my character kept hittimg the ball.. Luckily I was able to have a friend stream the game to me and it looked really fun! Well done!
very nice game, the overdone idea is compensated for by pure gamefeel and design
the levels being destructible was a nice touch, and trying to bounce around to avoid projectiles was super cathartic
the shotgun enemies can go F@#! themselves though
Cool concept, fun game, good music and art. Well done!
This might be one of the most fun games I've played in this jam and I've rated 57 games so far.
This game is top notch! the feeling on the ball is perfect and the game is ultra fast and furious. Would be curious to see a speedrun of this game.
Really well exectuted idea with lots of juice in the effects and sounds. Art is also really cool!
This game is just pure fun, simple concept masterfully executed!
Freaking incredible! The game is really balls to the walls as your title suggests. This was a lot of fun. If you intend on continuing this project, I would like to see extra uses for the ball enemies that would challenge your playstyle and force you to do things differently.
This is so fun! The game juice is right on point!
I absolutely love how you developed a simple idea into such an addicting game!
Phenomenal! I'm amazed at the level of polish!!
The tutorial was may favorite tutorial over the jam so far!
The concept was simple to understand and executed so well!
The JUICE! Hit pause, screenshake, destructible tiles, explosion effects! on point!!
The enemies get 'surprised' by you? phenomenal!
All those fun designed level? i can't imagine how you had the time, or even how you did it, but it's amazing!
All around incredible impressed
