What a charming game with a cute (yet kinda messed up) premise! What I did play was very great with a nice difficulty curve and some elements of strategy, but I did run into two very big technical issues that basically halted my progress:
- At some point, powerup pickups on the field kind of stopped working, as in I could not pick them up even if I was right on top of them.
- Late into the game, specifically after a few losses and minus-key resets due to softlocks in one specific section (second part of international championships I believe), something with my hitbox bugged which made it near-impossible to actually get to any plate.
Regardless, I am very confident that this will make a fun game if you plan to squash the bugs in a post-jam release, and pretty much every category aside from enjoyment (due to the aforementioned bugs) is super strong. I think I'll be replaying soon to see if I can get to the end without any major complications. Awesome work, y'all.
