Your game is pretty cool. For me the gameplay feels a bit too slow. The graphics, theme and performance are great though. All-in-all a good game for a jam. In case you want to keep working on the game, I would suggest adding something similar to a quest system or some clear incentive for the player to follow.

Also a fan of the technology stack you used. We used rust for server and godot with gdscript for our client and now have performance unsuitable for mobile. Therefore I am currently creating a new client right now, also using SDL2 and Rust only, while minimizing dependencies too.

Encountered on 2560x1440 without scaling. (Not a L5 xD)

The game was not playable at first because the balls spawned outside the screen apparently. With that fixed however the game is pretty cool, especially for mobile.

I am not sure what caused that issue, but increasing the spawn Y of the balls to at least 30 solves the problem.

Thanks a lot.

Hello. Our game includes server-software that we would like to license under the AGPL-3.0, which is technically not compatible with GPL. The AGPL does, however, follow the same philosophy. Is it allowed?
