Defininitely the best stupid simple game I've seen in this jam :) Very fun to play. As some people already mentionned, I could imagine this game working well on mobile. I feel like with a bit more polish (menus, progression system, leaderboard...) you could sell this as an app.

Good work !

Simple but fun! You can put this on mobile easily.Maybe add some collecting sound effect and you are done :D.Nice work!

Very simple, but very fun!

This could easily become a good mobile-game. Even though the graphics are super simple, they really fit. Give this game some better sounds and you're good to go!

Really well made an polished game! The only thing that I missed was a noise when you collected something. Other then that the game was awesome! I also really liked the color changing feature.

Simple concept well done. Easy to get lost in for a while. I think with some drag functionality it'd make for a successful mobile game! Great submit, cheers.

I like the mechanic of having to drag the mouse in order to move the ball, the music sounds pretty nice, and the speed of the red and yellow dots feels natural.

Consider checking out my game, it's basically a similar game idea, my character it's attached to the center and always comes back.

It is a good game. The music fits very well. I like the simple graphics, I think it would nice if you made the player squashes when it's moving fast. The fast enemies I think that they are too fast, it's pretty difficult to predict if you will collide. Also the UI to replay could be better. You can also make the combo text to fade out smoothly instead of just disappearing.

Even if it has things that can be done better, it is still a great game.

I love this game. Such a great game for the theme there and back. I think that the enemies are a little too plentiful though. And there probably should be some kind of limit on the amount of points that can spawn. From what I played it seems like you can let them spawn endlessly without losing anything other than time. I might suggest that there also be enemies that target the center when you haven't sprung out in a while to stop this behavior.

Thanks for suggestions! I will probably use them in post jam version of the game or something.

Sorry, but this one was... quite bad. It's not terrible by any means, but there were quite a few bugs, and the graphics aren't clear. I did quite like the interpettion. I looked up your profile and it seems like it's your first game, so don't take it hard. 

p:s: Please consider checking our game!
