The momentum of the swing is fun! Nice work. I got stuck on Level 2 though, couldn't figure out how to passed it.

I'm not sure. I was able to destroy the blocks in Stage 1 just fine, but some of the blocks wouldn't get destroyed in Stage 2. I'm not sure if that's a bug, or if there was something I had to do to increase my attack or something?
My chain never got stuck or anything like that.
The actual gameplay mechanic is really fun and seems to work well. Flinging the ball around was pretty satisfying.
EDIT: Actually I realized, am I supposed to destroy the enemies, not the blocks? I figured I had to avoid the enemies.
Ok, I realized that I was supposed to smash the ball into the Red Triangle enemy things, not the blocks! Haha. I assumed because it was like a wrecking ball, my goal was to smash the blocks and avoid the red guys. Maybe you should write on the Itch.io page that you specifically need to smash the ball into the Red Enemies, not just avoid them.
I did run into a bug though, and I think it was a mix of this bug an my misunderstanding of the goal that caused me to get stuck on level 2 before.
So when you hit an enemy the ball seems to "glow" and play a sound for a little bit. on around level 5 I ran into a bug where the ball seems to get "stuck" in the "glow" animation, and then I'm not able to smash the enemies anymore. No matter how hard I hit them, they won't die.
That happened to me on my first play through in Level 2, so I assumed that you just couldn't destroy the enemies.
Anyway, I was able to get up to level 6 this time. Super fun game!
