I loved playing your game.

I think the soundtrack is really nice and fits the style. I also like how you make this almost more of a puzzle game than a platform game by giving you just enough HP to cast spells to clear the level. The animations look amazing and the levels are also really nice. 

I would like to know how many Zackavelli's there are though, a counter for example would help. Because let's be honest, no Zackavelli deserves to be locked up in a cage!

Looking forward to your games in upcoming jams!

Nice, very polished game!

The game looks really nice and I can learn a lot from your visual touch. The soundtrack was nice, being told I suck was not bad either.

I did have some trouble really controlling the paddle with my mouse and getting positioned correctly under the ball, but that can also totally be my skill. Also, for me the sounds was a bit too loud and I'd like to be able to put the volume down a bit, because the soundtrack itself was great.

Great job!

Thank you so much for playing and commenting on my game!

I was indeed considering to include some sort of tutorial, but it got cut off due to time (and maaaybe a little bit of interest). I was also considering ramping up the different enemy times, but ultimately I just wanted to start this first game with a '5 minutes of fun' kinda idea. 

The 'sticking' on the wall part was actually a bug, but I liked the way it acted so I left it in. It also seems okay for a bat/vampire to be able to stick to walls.

Really appreciate the feedback!

Thank you so much for your (really helpful and insightful) reply!

Your feedback really is a good reminder that things that you design might be perceived differently by your players!
You can for example eat each of the enemies, but only after you defeated them. The snakes herein are sort of an exception as they die on contact without hurting you. 

Tutorials and juice (and some sort of boss battle) were in the 'outside of my league - for now' part of this jam, but I'll definitely look into those in upcoming jams. Also I do know that balancing is still pretty off in this game.
