Character art is very good, game play mechanic, character control is perfectly set. It is lacking a little game progression idea. Game should get little difficult with time and apart from score player should feel more sense of achievement. 

But in total really loved the Art and game

I was really looking forward to seeing the implementation of the character art you came up with. I did hope to see that technique to be elsewhere in the game, but after playing I think it would have created a 'busy' look; so I think the toned down pixel art background was a better choice. I am missing a bit of a difficulty curve as the game progresses; so it would be nice to see some additional mechanic either associated with the time of the game or the speed of the meatball to have a rubber-band effect on the player to try and master past. Good results.

Really enjoyable game, love the art style, character controls, and it has a good level of polish. My main problem is after a couple attempts I had the score up to 150k and didn't feel like anything was going to stop me so I just let it end. To solve this I think it could benefit by somehow adjusting difficulty to the player skill level. It could grow more difficult over time each run, and maybe if you reach a certain score then new stuff will be added to spice up the next run. This way anyone can get into it, but it also has something to offer the players who enjoy a good challenge, and gives them a reason to play a bit longer to see what they can unlock. I understand these changes were likely out of the scope of this jam, these are just some ideas that I think could improve the game from it's current state.

This is a fun little arcade game, it's pretty easy to get the hang of and it's quite satisfying to land combos and keep the temperature up. I really like the SFX you did, the ball ricochet is particularly nice. And of course the art is really cool and unique, with the particles definitely adding a final layer of polish.

The game was a blast to play, the mechanics were well-thought-out and the physics helped me  cook better meatballs. X]

the best I felt like doing. i take it there is no end goal besides letting it cool down and getting the game over screen? Nice and simple game easy to understand and is pretty fun to see how hot you can get it before it hits a cold ball.

feels good when u get streak of hits , also i would love if i can swing more sometimes i press mouse left button i it dont respond , i dont knoe if that is intetional maybe but other than that it was fun i loved the music too

Fun game with good visuals and music. The gameplay was great. I would have like a slightly more challenging game, but that comes down to personal preference. Job well done.

Realy cool game I loved the smoothness of the gameplay and the particules systems!

I love your art so much! Like the other commentors it took me a bit to get used to it but it turned out to be a fun and addictive game

Looking at the screens, i was expecting it to be like lethal league, didn't get what the goal was or how to clear level but gameplay itself was so fun and controls felt so good, kept me busy for a few minutes.

yeah, I like it nice art style. follows the theme in a really nice way

A fun game to play! But if I were you, I'd make HUD elements clearer to see. It took me a second to realize that it also showed temperature.

Good job, regardless!

Very fun!  It took me a minute to figure out that the objective was to get the meatball as hot as possible / accumulate points.  At first I thought I needed to maintain a "safe temperature" haha.  I did find a way to get the meatball to fly off camera and got the score up to about 200 million / 3000 degrees hehe.  The music and the artwork are great.  Very juicy gameplay, really fun bouncing the ball around, the reactions of the little flame / cool air puffs getting hit was very cool.

I want to dance to the music lol. I love how the music changes over time. Fun, addictive gameplay with good use of the theme!

Fun game and great character design. It's highly enjoyable even to run around and slam the meetball no matter what is going on. The animations are also very good!

I love this game! It's like a single player Lethal League! I love the gameplay!

i like the flame man :)

Very fun game. My high score is around 40000. I really loved the graphics. Overall  smooth and fun experience.

Like a mix between pinball and lethal league! funky and fun to whack the meatball around for a bit.
