Really impressed with how this game looks and feels. All criticism I can think of is polish. Light balancing issues on the audio and gameplay side. But overall, it's super impressive that you've managed to get so much done in just a week.

Thank you for the kind words!
Def still much for me to learn on the audio! I keep on telling myself I'll get around to properly learning sfx / audio but I still haven't hahaha still kinda just slapping a bunch of sounds together till it feels good. Not the worst tho! Kinda glad with the ball swinging sfx at the very least.
Played your guys' game as well! Sound on that one was giga crisp.
It's definitely not bad in terms of SFX. It's just a matter of some music playing at the same time and the volume between different things. All the audio itself sounded great! It can get a bit complex to not have things overlap and sound weird but keeping things organised really helps with that, I think. I use Yoolean sound meter to check the volumes on everything because you can become deaf to volume differences if you're doing audio for hours at a time.
