Really cool idea and great execution.

Submitted

Nice idea. Though I couldn't complete the second level.

Submitted

Easy to learn, hard to master. The way it should be. Quite extensive, took me about 1.5 hours. A few small bugs: about 1/100 chance that the ball is reflected exactly in the wrong direction; resetting sometimes works weird/laggy(angular velocity?); unpredictable physics. All in all a very well done game!

Submitted

The game is great and really challenging!! I just wish there was something showing exactly the range of the explosion. At the begining I thought I needed click near the ball.

Submitted

Challenging but fun. 

Submitted

Nice mechanics, the explosions felt a bit too strong though.

Submitted

Unique Mechanics!

Submitted

Well done! I enjoyed the mechanics.

Submitted

Really fun! Looks really hard to master though (or I'm just bad, that's also a possibility)

Submitted

i prolly wouldnt have gone with calm sort of melancholic music for this haha, good track but doesnt fit the game at all. simple and fun, only hting i would have done maybe is turn down the explosive force a little, make the highest force still reasonable for the levels

Submitted

Very satisfying, and I like somewhat calm music behind things that are actually deceptively challenging. The physics are also unpredictable which makes it even more chaotic.

Submitted

So this one is explode to move instead of shoot to move .. how original. just kidding

I had a lot of fun playing this , mainly because it is somewhat difficult and you have to be extremely precise , I like that kind of stuff. 

The music choice is a bit odd though , I think a game like this needs something more EXPLODY 

Submitted

It's very satisfying, shows how a simple mechanic can become a great game, nice job! Here's my game https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/697413 tell me what you think :)

Very fun! I played through the whole game; the last few levels are challenging, but worth playing through.

Submitted

It's a lot of fun, even though it's not very original. Really like this one!

Submitted

I love this, the levels are very well designed, and learning how close to click to the ball really adds to the strategy of the game. Great work!

Submitted

Fun game, and well polished! 

Submitted

Very fun!

Submitted

I liked the gameplay, although it was hard at times, because physics and be unpredictable. Otherwise, I had fun.

Submitted

I really enjoyed it!  Loved the presentation and the controls felt really good
