Visually this game is really nice ( i wonder if this guy likes graphics programming.... ) I really like the shine effect on the blocks especially. I do have a couple critiques in terms of the gameplay:
- The game requires a controller. I didn't mind this as I do own the specific controller this game asks for, I even put a piece of electrical tape over the bright awful light to make this controller usable and my gaming more professional. The gameplay is simple enough though, I'm unsure of why keyboard was omitted when it would have been more convenient for most people. Honestly though, I've been meaning to dust off this controller for my own gaming purposes, so this game has helped me remember that I own one.
- It wasn't obvious to me at first that I had multiple balls, I had to read the itch description before I realized I could shoot multiple balls. Playing with just one ball is a bit challenging lol
- I wasn't expecting the timer to not restart for each level. Having only 20 seconds for the entire game is a neat idea that I quite like, but maybe it's a bit too hard... The furthest I managed to get was level 2 with ONE brick left. It's against the rules of this jam, but maybe a future version could have time pickups that give you a few extra seconds, or maybe some extra balls.
Overall though I'll always and forever be a fiend for brick breaker type games so good work with the entry, I had fun!
