That is incredibly well done! the interpretation of the theme is just perfect! If I *have* to suggest something :) the difficulty level could increase a bit quicker. But again, very well done!

Really fantastic use of the theme. I love that the game is so simple yet results in a lot of depth in the gameplay.

Thanks for playing! :D
I LOVE Billiard Hell btw, lol. I'm a huge fan of mashing up genres! And it's so successful at it!

Ah, thanks so much! it means a lot <3

Great one! A lot of fun and definitely incorporates the them really well!

At times it does gets really hectic, which just makes it really fun. I do, however, wish for a longer invincibility time, since there were some times where the same enemy dealt me 2 damage in what felt like a second.

It's a really fun game, great job!

Edit: I feel like it would be a great mechanic if you couldn't stop. Since as of now there isn't really a reason not to just stop moving after you have collected an orb.

Such a cool concept, simple, but very enjoyable graphics, and some nice music. I would like enemies to show somehow in which direction they're going, so you would have more time to react. 

Lmao when I was typing the message someone on youtube chat thought of the same thing ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Developer

It's a great suggestion, Thank you!
Before I pared down scope, it was going to be a "future sight" upgrade you could purchase with coins

This is REALLY fun. I think possibly the best use of the theme in the entire jam. Excellent job. Bonus points for incorporating the music into the time limit! 

Developer

Thanks, that's very nice of you, and awesome to hear!
I made the music approximately 1 hour before the deadline, and it was okay cause i only had to have 10-seconds-worth haha.

Heyooooo, I'm watching you live on Youtube!

Dude, honestly this is an amazing idea. I just want to tell you that the movement is super slow on
Firefox, and the music only goes for 8 seconds instead of the 10 seconds.

And again, this is a really really good game.

Developer (2 edits)

Thanks so much for the feedback!
Idk why it's slow sometimes. Sometimes it's slow in Firefox, and slow in chrome others? something something webgl. I've added a note to the page :)
The music is 10 seconds long, what you're seeing is the  slowdown making 10 seconds in the display timer actually take like, 12 seconds or whatever, you know? ๐Ÿ˜…

Niiiiiice. Simple, elegant, and fun.

Really great game! That's a very unique idea for the theme and bullet hell genre :) Nice visuals and a fitting soundtrack complete the package. Fun game!

One of the best takes on this theme! Very well done, this is the spiritual successor to Snake in my opinion.

Submitted(+1)

One of my favorites so far! Very clever take on the 10 sec theme. The gameloop is the clear focus and the minimalist art style, the smooth controls and the audio all work towards the same goal! Prime example of "it does not need to be complex and comprehensive to be fun"! Great work!

The idea is very nice! Very addictive gameplay loop, and the theme is perfectly represented

Submitted(+1)

Clever idea! You kept it simple and executed on your core mechanic well. It's fluid, the rewind sound and simple music make for such a great combination it's awesome.

Really clever take on the theme! Simple and smooth feeling, it's super easy to understand the mechanics but still feels very strategic, which isn't all that easy to achieve. The music got a little bit repetitive, but it's my only feedback really. Great job!
