  • Original concept, would have liked some more polish.
  • A neat prototype! It could really benefit from a way to retry, as I had to turn my GBA off after losing or winning. The concept is fun and it would be good to see expanded!
  • So you basically have to hit the other ball to lower its health. That's fine, but the game gets locked as soon as you win or lose and there is no way to reset. There isn't much to do either.

Ok, short game but looks promising if you were going to expand it. I like the retro scrolling background.

Not really sure what the goal was, and if you aim straight down, you can get in an a "soft lock" where your puck never stops moving from bouncing off the pink thing, and thus can never take another shot.

Could turn into a promising puzzle game

Thank you very much for playing!

I should have added ingame dialogue directly telling you to try and slam into the other puck to damage it.

As for the pink thing, I DEFINATELY should have tuned down it's bounciness (at least for this prototype) as it was originally intended for larger playfields but I had so much fun messing about with it's jittery physics I forgot to do that lol.
