How does your game represent "Power"?
you only have power when near the ball that bounces around the screen. I hope this Makes the player feel slightly out of control as they have no power if they cant keep up.

Honestly some of my favorite gameplay of the jam so far. Such a great and fun idea! I also love the choice of music/sound effects. The "ass slap" noise that plays whenever an enemy is hit had me rolling. Good job! :)

Very fun and unique mechanic! I did encounter the same invisible wall but was able to snipe the enemy from across it when the power ball came close to me lol. You should definitely expand on this game more if you have the time--off the top of my head I don't know of any well-known published games that do this yet.

I really like the concept of this game! The back and forth of shooting and hitting the ball around is challenging but satisfying to pull off well. However, there seems to be a couple of game breaking bugs. In the third level I seem to get stuck on an invisible wall, as shown in the attached screenshots, preventing me from entering the room and softlocking me. Pausing is also broken after the first level for me, the game seems to pause but the pause text doesn't show up and I am unable to unpause the game just leaving me frozen. I hope that you can fix these bugs because the underlying ideas here are great.

Thanks a ton for finding these bugs! I'm very sorry I couldn't provide a more polished experience. I am glad you had fun while it lasted.
