I love the mechanic!!
Very cute drawings and enjoyable fast pace gameplay. The upwards force on the explosions were just too much and it felt pretty unnatural but overall Good job!
Not bad. The power of the explosion could be turned down. Felt like too much BOOM.
Good audio choice. I found myself having a hard time sending the ball in diagonals
Simple concept, well executed!
Excellent puzzle aspect to this fast passed game, takes getting used to and has a good skill curve! A slow motion effect when exploding would be awesome to let you aim better!
Nice little game, got a bit difficult because can't really predict effect the explosion would have on the ball, sometimes it barely moved, other times it flew across the screen, but still this is a fantastic little game with really nice physics of the bouncing ball, everything felt properly weighty. Great work!
Nice idea and I love the artstyle.
However I found this game really hard to play as the ball practically never flew in the direction I expected it to go. I would assume that the force of the explosion pushes it in the opposite direction but it almost always went upwards. And so by the second level I was more or less clicking randomly and hope for the best.
So great concept, a bit more control and easier levels (at least at the start) would be nice.
I liked how the distance from the ball when firing affects it, cool use of physics that maybe could be more obvious somehow? Lot of fun though, good job :D
We played through a couple of levels and the game was engaging. In terms of art and music, it could use some improvements. The explosion sometimes felt inconsistent and the death sound effect was a bit buggy. We really liked the particle effects.
