Yeah, perhaps it was a bit of a dick move to make you go back to the begginning, since the spike zones were kind of annoying. The original idea behind that was to make the game not so lineal. But a lot of backtracking, specially for a short casual jam game, can make the experience a little frustrating.

Thanks for playing!

Yeah, the idea behind that was to prevent the player from getting stuck in there. It was a hint to warn you that you needed something else to continue.

Thanks for playing!

Hi, thanks for playing it! Yeah, I noted that the controls were kind of annoying. Specially activating it and deactivating it.

Not to mention that you couldn't aim and move at the same time, making it feel kind of unresponsive.

To be honest, I'm not sure how could I fix it. Although your alternative has some merit.

Thanks for the comment and the suggestion!

Yeah, I noted the spikes part was annoying. Perhaps something like drawing a line, to know the ball trajectory, would have helped.

Thanks for playing it!
