Theme interpretation
The colonisation of other planets in our solar system is a incredibly challenging, but also worthwhile endeavour.

Nice. I thought it was really cool. A bit too fast for my reflexes, but I got a full shipment of people to Mars!

Pretty cool game!

Gameplay: The controls were good though it was hard to hit the ball. You could maybe: make it possible to make the paddle(?) bigger with another secret area, make easy mode with bigger paddle, or make is smaller the more people are on the ball.

Graphics: The graphics were really good. The stretchy ball was cool too. This also helped the arcady feel.

Audio: The correct music for this game would help, but the SFX were really good.

Innovation: Fine

Theme: The colonisation of other planets in our solar system is a incredibly challenging, but also worthwhile endeavour.

Overall: Really good game, this felt like it was in an arcade.

Can you try my game?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. And yea, I wish I had a little more time to find the correct difficulty.

Cool game. Felt like a combination of breakout and pinball.

Was nice to play around with, though the ball moves so fast, that I have trouble getting more than a few points- but when I did manage to score, it felt pretty satisfying. The artwork is lovely too, and it's a fun concept for sure.

A bit difficult to play, but the quality of both individual components and the game as a whole is very high!

This seems like a good game, but the frame rate was very low (at least for my computer). I wasn't able to catch the ball because it lagged to death, unfortunately.  

That being said I really liked the concept as well as the game art and music/sound :)

I'm stunned by how amazing this looks. Absolutely terrific job on artwork!

Too hard, but very well made game. Physics, art, and sound are all great.

The visual and audio feedback this game has is by far the best I have seen  amongst all the games during this game jam. A creative and satisfying take on a classic genre. A+

It's really fun and satisfying to hit the ball around! I wasn't able to figure out what turns the red things on and off, it's a bit hard to hit Mars with those in the way but sometimes I got them to turn off. I really like the graphics and all the attention to detail like the ball shape distorting at speed and of course all the sounds and screen shake to match. Great game!

Developer

Yeap, If i had more time I'd definitely rework the difficulty. Thanks for playing <3

Well done and was fun to play - graphics and visual effects were really nice. The colonization quest plays nice with the classic arcade game mechanics. The behavior of the info popup was a bit weird and interrupting -  maybe it shouldn't pop up every time a player loses a ball. The background sound theme didn't seem to match the game style very well - but that's a matter of taste I guess :)
