worked well except for the music- also a very smart usage of "crossing paths" :D

The visuals are nice, pretty sure you can do more with that! More balls and some more speed and you could get a really chaotic fun game.

The music is a bit "much" I was checking if there where two tabs playing music at the same time. But, anyone who makes their own music gets a "well done" from me!

Thank you very much for the Comments.

For the Music, however, it was a newbie Mistake. I somehow had the sound manager running twice on start-up - the bug is already fixed; however, I can't update until the Jam is officially over.

A little bit unclear at first, but fun once I got it. It would be cool if the balls moved a bit faster to test my reflexes a little, and the score was more emphasized to give me feedback when I do something good/bad.


The visuals are really nice, and I like the interpretation of the theme.

Excited to see where this project goes!

Thank you very much for the Kind Words.

Upgrades will be a part of the prestige system (ball speeds, point increases, paddle speed/size, etc). (also temporary bonuses...)

I had fun working on this (even thou most of my time was working out how to use Godot). Ran out of time to get it where I wanted it to be :(

This was a fun and satisfying game but I think there was an issue with multiple instances of the music playing at the same time, which made it a little hard to listen to.
