Really liked your game, it's very fun! Also, watching the AI play made me learn the game, without a tutorial, thanks! It also teached me how to do a power charge. Great work! Just a bug I noticed: sometimes the ball would be going up and down with little movement towards me, the AI probably didn't care since it wasn't going in it's direction, but the ball was on it's side, lul. Small problem, took like 3-4secs to go towards me, no biggie

Thank you so much! Yeah, I couldn't figure out that annoying bug in time. I tried a few things to fix it, but then I had to prioritize other things to fit the schedule. Supposedly the AI player should not "forget" about balls with low x velocity regardless of the direction, but there must be something overwriting that. I also wanted to snap the ball to a fixed number of possible directions removing the more "vertical" ones, but again it went to the backlog. There's also an issue with the AI player chasing the balls from behind: the actor tries to position itself in front of the ball, but there is no pathfinding, so chasing from behind ends up in them being stunned multiple times! :D
Thanks for reporting the bug and for taking the time to give this game a chance to entertain you.
Cheers
