Cool concept for a game! The parallax background was very nice and the balls felt satisfying to hit (outside of having no audio). There are a couple big opportunities for improvement though, the biggest annoyance for me was that it was hard to tell how fast the other balls were moving in absolute terms due to the scrolling background but no reference points to look at in the foreground (just a black floor)

Nice, fun, simple game. Maybe I just suck at games but I found it difficult to land on the enemies' heads, maybe make them a bit bigger for people like me lol. Though I understand why you'd wanna keep it on the harder side. I don't understand why you didn't add some audio though, would've been nice :-:
Overall nice game. Make sure to check mine out too!
I believe you have something here, but most of the aspects need polish. Starting with sound. I recommend using a site like https://freesound.org/ . Having sound really helps player feedback! Also- having paralax on the background is a nice effect, but in this game it sort-of threw my judgement of jumping distance.
The thing that helped with player feedback was the trail.
I enjoyed this one! I really like the gameplay and the background effect, some sort of indicator of taking damage would've been nice (screen flashes red or screen shake). Great work!
Well it sure is a fun satisfying game, love the trails going behind the balls
I really like jumping on enemies haha, it's great when you jump on one and while still in the air you kill another! I also liked the blue enemy (reference to sonic? haha)
It is good! Can imagine big crowds of people playing it a subway. Nise gameplay loop
Really cool and loved when I realised there was a combo mecha
