Fun concept, though I'm not that good at the game. Story is a little light but straight to the point like a lot of my favorite classic arcade games.
Now the name makes sense! I like the movement because it forced me to be thoughtful and intentional about the decisions I made. I even felt pretty slick slipping between oncoming balls, but then I found I could tap myself ever so slightly to a corner and just rack up a massive score.
Other than that though, it was a fun break from all the text heavy games and nice to get lost in a little arcade action for a while. Great entry. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I was thinking kind of leaning less into the story as to stick out, while not completely straying away, thank you for the lovely comments!
Very good game and fun to play.
I like how you added a score to your game as it gives a reason to come back and play again. However, once I figured out that I could just park myself in one spot and watch the balls fly past me, it became too easy. In a future update, I would recommend having the balls not all heading towards the same top central position
On it! Thank you :)
Nice and simple arcade game :)
Took me a bit of time to get used to the slow deceleration, but that also made it more unique to play imo. But once I got used to the controls it was a bit too easy and I felt like I could survive indefinitly. So I woul like ther to be have some additional elements or difficulty ramp up based on how long you survive.
Sadly no real story, but I still had fun playing it!
I like the pace of this game. Its nice that all the balls come from the bottom so you can go to the top and just wait and see where the balls come from…
Its a bit annoying that I need to go back to main menu to replay but that is where you see the score so that makes sense I guess. A top score as well as recent score would have been nice, as well as a score during game play so you know how you’re doing. Also when you read the introduction, the screen disappears basically as soon as the last letter shows which is a bit too quick. Maybe a second or so delay between the last letter and the screen changing would be good.
One bug I found is that if I move to the top left or top right corner the movement controls go wierd. Like up arrow starts moving me to the right and right goes down. If that is intensional its quite confusing, but otherwise the game works well.
Thanks Yanni, yeah that's weird and I can certainly fix it, I believe it'll have something to do with the motion, as I used 4 invisible objects for anchors
Thank you for the feedback,

No problem :)
