Cool concept, had fun !

This game is surprisingly addictive for something so simple. It reminds me of that Yetisports flash game. :)

It can be difficult to gauge how will the parachute change the trajectory (it will slow the ball and slow its fall, but it is how to determine how it will affect height as a function of distance).

Music and sound effect are very nice, and the space theme is made very cozy. Great work! :)

nice nod to the old penguin games! i found that if you hold the parachute while going up you can almost

I enjoy anything related to flying and aerodynamics, and this game executed it very well
the wobble effect looks simple but adds a lot of life to it
Great game!

Haha, I'm joining jams for this type of games. Simple, fun yet so amazing! Reminds me of that cash grab hyper-casual game called 'Golf Orbit'.  But of course, this one's a lot better :D

Thank you so much! My biggest inspirations here were a Neopets mini-game called "Kass Basher" and the amazing "Super Toss The Turtle"

Such an interesting game! The concept is simple and the resulting game is quite fun to play. The controls are easy to grasp and perfectly fit the two buttons theme. A good game overall!

This is my type of game, i love it!

I thought 2k was a good score until I made 11k easily. Simple but fun game, maybe the objects could be explained at the start as a tutoial and sometimes my ball went backwards as score idk why

Cool little game! I don´t use much the parachute, and it´s a bit randomless, but it´s pretty fun. 

And it´s space baseball XD

Simple but pretty fun game! Really liked the art style and music.

Submitted(+1)

The art is really nice, and the music is awesome. I like the concept here, and you can feel free to disregard this, but I felt like it would have been nice if there was a little less randomness, and if you had a bit more control over the ball's movement. I know that it's hard to keep the gameplay feeling consistent with random generation though especially with the time constraint. Overall, I enjoyed playing this one, and was able to get the max score after a couple tries!

A nice, polished and put together game! The art and effects work nicely with the audio.

Thank you so much!!

Nice game !!! I see that it has randomness when it comes to the floating objects, would have been interested to see how it would look like with a set of positions! Good job

Almost got to the max score.  It's a good take on the theme and an unusual type of game to see in jams despite it being so well suited.  The colour palette was good.  A fun game.

I reached the max score! Theme is very nice, loved watching the ball go boink.

Loved the gameplay! Still trying to reach the maximum score...

Reached max score. Looks nice, but I prefer assets that have the same pixel size. Also, sometimes the ball suddenly stopped movement on X axis.
