Super fun and polished! The metal/rock background music was awesome and really got me pumped. Great job on this entry!

That was pretty fun and very unique. I loved how intense it felt thanks to the sound and VFX.

I played a few times and ended up with the 2nd highest score when I got lucky and got 3 of those ghost spawner enemies to appear. I just let the dude bounce around the room killing ghosts and scored a bunch of points doing nothing.

I like the idea but I think you should commit to the one shot mechanic and make calculating your shot (like in pool) the highlight of the game. Even though I scored a bunch of points it felt like I didn’t really do anything to earn them. Maybe if you only bounced a set number of times it would force the player to plan their shots more.

Great entry overall but I think it needs a few tweaks to the gameplay to really hit

Thanks a lot for playing my game, for the kind words and the honest feedback. I seem to have created some issues related to the difficulty of this game and will be tweaking and tinkering till the end of jam. Hope you're able to try it again then.

till then, if you're looking for some challenge. The highscore by one of the testers was 1537 in 4 mins...

This game is very fun, seriously, sound effects, animations, the general idea is quite original, one thing I saw in this game that I haven't seen so far from the ones I evaluated is an excellent work with sound effects, great entry, congratulations I imagine this game It would be perfect for playing on your cell phone. If you could rate my entry I would be grateful.

Thank you for playing my game. Just played yours, and it was pretty good too.

I'm not entirely certain if it's one-shot, or maybe I'm just playing the game wrong, since I can just keep charging up as many times as I want to spam enemies. Seems a bit unfinished and the buttons are missing text. I think with some adjustments it could be fun though, maybe more high level direction about the controls and intent?

Thanks for playing the game. my approach was to not force the theme onto the player but encourage it. you can spam attack but your score would be pretty low. the score multiplies based on how many enemies you take on in a single swing. So you can survive with spam, but you'd need to change the strategy in case you wanna thrive on the leaderboard.

Also thanks for pointing out the UI issues. I tried fixing the text issue beforehand but i guess text mesh pro aint havin it. I'll have the fixed build after the jam ends. Thanks again! really appreciate your honest feedback.
