Nice gameplay idea! Controls are just about right, IMHO it's ok to have some inertia. Maybe you could consider adding just a couple of materials with improved lighting design and you have a very nice game here. Solid entry!!

Simple idea but that's really not a bad thing. Good job on finishing a game. I had fun playing it :>. Maybe you could change a few simple things to spice it up. Make the movement more responsive it (almost) always feel better to fight the enemy and not the controls. Also you could change the score system so that it is not timer based but on pickups for example. That way you encourage the player to move through the map and not to wait in a corner and watch the score go up.

SushiFussA bit too simple in my opinion, also the ball feels a bit slow. You could add some powerups or different types of obstacles to avoid maybe.

MADTronicsSimple but fun concept.
The graphics need work, my advice when working with minimal style graphics is going for a more flat look, which means do not use specular/metallic, keep saturation down and use coherent colors not random. You can just google a color palette if you don't feel comfortable tweaking colors, really it takes 5 minutes to do it all and i think it would definitely improve the look of the game.

You Require Additional RocketsNice little game I'm sure it would be much more fun on a mobile device as that is what it appears to be intended for. However the game play was fun. I over all enjoyed it.

A lot of StonesA nice simple game that fits the theme and is well functioning. My suggestion for improvement would be adding a UI element that tells you how many "lives" you have left, and maybe a few small obstacles for the player and the other balls, just to spice it up a bit :)

Too much sushiI intended to add a a big bad ball that tries to catch the player, but i ended up spending the last day with my kids instead :) my son is a little sad, because he misses his Kindergardenfriends since it's closed down for Corona-safety. So we played with our dog and spent the day outside in the near Forrest and our garden. It was nice.
Nice lil self-contained game. Feels like it is what it wanted to be. Wasn't a fan of the sounds--they were a bit sharp. Also, it loses a bit of mystique when you figure out that just hanging out in a corner is much safer than moving at all. Maybe making the play area round could balance this.
