The game was fun. The only issue i have is the slow down powerup felt like more of a hindrance than a helpful powerup.It might be a skill issue on my end though lol.I can see it being used to time the kick better but alot of the times I wasnt near the ball's landing location (Skill issue i know). Its hard to tell when the ball is getting near the player while also trying to be under it at the same time. The shadow and height number help with that, I think the height helps the most because with the shadow it is a little bit harder to tell. This might be too much but i think having the height indicator follow the ball would help a little. Having it centered in the view would be easier than having to look up at the height and missing the ball. Anyways, I really had fun playing the game i love the visual style, and the sound effects and music were satisfying. Good job !

Thank you for the feedback!
Yeah in hindsight I would've done a lot differently -
- Made the slowdown more pronounced the closer the ball is to you (and much less pronounced when it was further away).
- Add a dash ability,that way you can reach where you think it's gonna land faster.
- Add more indicators as to how close the ball is to the player (this would include moving height indicator near the player character, as it's where the player is going to be looking).
Thanks again! Glad you enjoyed it.
