I like the way the bright colors and music combine with the intro to make everything feel like a child playing, really good aesthetic there! I think changing the properties of the ball might go a long way into making it more manageable to move around. But the idea is really fun, I could see you having to dig through the floor or something like that, based on what color your ball is, and that sounds like it could be really cool! Nice idea, good job!
unreal default player go brrrrrrrrrrrr
Honestly, we had another model rigged and ready, but it broke all the animations so we had to make do with what we had. The post-game-jam release will have more proper models.
However, for the record:
Unreal default tpc do in fact go brrrrrrrrrr
The basic mechanic was really interesting, though I wish there were more ways to control the ball. I felt like I spent the majority of the first level running after it, which felt a bit tedious.
I also got stuck on the second level, as there didn't seem to be any way to get to the ball?
The presentation was pretty charming, and I liked the written narration that was provided in the tutorial!
In the second level you can throw water balloons at the ball to push it down the line, but be careful, it'll change colors at the end and if you hit it at that point it will remove the color.
Thanks for the feedback!
I don't really understand how do you pass the second level. Did I miss something in the tutorial?
Interesting concept tho

Yes! You have to make the ball yellow and roll it into the wall and then make it orange and roll it into the next wall.
Oops, my bad.
