Controls were a bit wonky for me at the start, but that's probably because I wasn't still or on the ground when throwing. Once I got the hang of it, I could see how clever this concept was! I really liked it. The levels weren't crazy hard either. There were a few instances where the respawn went through the floor, and the player would spawn there, but you could jump out of it at least. Nice work!

Thank you for the feedback!

I also noticed this issue when throwing the Ball in the air but I didn't really had the time to fix it. But I'm glad you liked it.

I really like the concept! I think it could do with a lot of polishing but the root idea is really interesting. Well done!

Very cool concept and great wordplay on the word chance! I would suggest to add an arch showing where the player will throw the ball to make aiming easier.

The controls are not my best work you really have to get used to the sliding

Loved the neon-colored graphics. Took 10 minutes to go through. Couldn't beat the last level because I had no second chance! HAHA!

This game is so cool! My favourite mechanics yet! I found a bunch of neat speedun tech: If you press jump multiple times while going up a slope, you add together all the vertical momentum giving you a super jump. If you throw the ball straight down, you can force yourself through the gap on level 8 getting 2 balls. If you die with 2 balls, you clone yourself! I really like how different each level is, it makes the game feel really well thought out. It would be nice if there were hitbox markers and end goal markers, cuz it is hard to see what is what. Nice job!

Thank you for your feedback! 

I didn't thought anyone would find these bugs but I am glad you enjoyed it so much. 

You can also press W and Up-Arrow in the exact same frame to get a super jump

Yep, that's how I discovered it, but it works even better on ramps with mashing
