This is lowkey my favourite game in the whole jam. I've come back to it the most times to keep playing it (though, I'm still awful at it lol). The concept is just so damn good (and addictive!). I only wish i could go into or restart attempts faster, maybe by pressing R or something.
Regardless, amazing work!
Thanks so much that’s great to hear! Its very hard lol I’d argue one of the hardest in the jam
Also about pressing R to restart, I agree and if I had more time I def would’ve added it
Thanks for playing!
Really hard XD
Yep, sorry about that! It does take a lot of practice but it’s not impossible!!
Simple and addictive, I had an absolute blast! The core gameplay feels solid, though there a few enemy interactions that I think could definitely be looked at, as their behavior sometimes made me lose runs that felt beyond my control (enemies hitting the ball from offscreen, falling seemingly at random, etc..). Otherwise, great game!
Thanks so much for playing and congrats on an amazing score! I definitely hear you on the enemy issue, I gave them a lifetime that increases the longer u survive, but ended up running out of time before being able to make something like a healthbar or indication to the player. They also spawn a little bit offscreen, I think in the future I will make everything (goals and enemies) spawn inside camera bounds and also make the camera follow the player so the space doesn’t feel so binding. I think more space would only make the game more fun while keeping it challenging. Let me know if you have any other ideas!
everything is pretty cool! i only disliked that you cant restart without quitting to the menu every time
Thanks! Theres a retry button in the top right of the game over screen
oh, then sorry!
The game is very addictive, such a simple game, but so cool
Appreciate it! I'm really proud of how it turned out, its simple but hard!!
Had a lot of fun playing it . I would love the ball to not fall off the sides and only fall down , or maybe add a bar that blocks ball on the side and the bar randomly switches sides as game goes on .
That's actually a great idea and someone else said something similar, may add it after the jam!
I love the difficulty of the game! One suggestion I would make is to not have the ball go off the sides of the screen and only fall down the bottom. But that's just personal preferences. Otherwise it is very fun to get cool combos!
Thanks for playing! I feel like having the ball free to move off screen is important so the player keeps control of it more, but thanks for your suggestion!

cool game but controls make it a little to hard
Controls do take a bit to get used to, but honestly I feel like once you do get used to it its much more flexible for tricks
neat! cool idea.
Thanks!
I feel it's not that difficult and has a very good learning curve, good collisions, physics, and indicators, nice.
Thank you so much! This is great to hear as I was concerned whether the controls would be too hard. They do take a bit of getting used to but I ended up liking the feel in the end
86k? HOW
After developing this game I've had enough practice to get pretty good at it!
I found it really hard to control the ball and keep it in play because of the foot always rotates randomly every time I move the mouse. The gameplay idea appears to be solid though.
When the ball goes offscreen, there's nothing I can do.
The leaderboard does work and it's nice that it's a global leaderboard.
The movement of the leg is a bit wonky on purpose, it takes a bit of getting used to but it isn't random. You can rotate it by moving the mouse in a circular motion.
Thanks for playing, it's pretty challenging!
