So simple and yet so good, game-play is simply amazing! All enemies force you to play different, after a while there is just a beautiful chaos going one, love it!
a fun and well built mechanic , I like how strong enemies force you to start going the other way round. I do think the player needs some way to deal with enemies that get too close, maybe something on a cool down. The sprites were very pretty
Once you get going, the combat is a lot of fun to play. Really liked how the speed of the ball affected your power. Great work!
Took a moment to get the momentum figured out, but after that it's very fun to smash everything with the wrecking ball, good job!
Super fun! The ball is so satisfying to move, I love when it bounces on enemy!
Hey this is awesome!! Brings a smile to my face.
Some things to say,
As other people have mentioned, your game has this simple to learn, hard to master idea. And with your ultra-simple approach to the theme with a ball and chain, you allow yourself room for polish and all in all, the game is pretty hilariously fun!
You've done well to added enemy variety to drastically change the flow of combat, and forcing the player to adapt having to switch gears instantaneously. Very well done!
Some caveats,
I think you would do well with an emergency bomb button, it gives the players a second chance, and is a recurring mechanic in bullet hell games (your game has some of the bullet hell vibe). Do consider it.
Regardless, very fun! If you put in the work, give it some original art and music, I think you could make a pretty hilarious mobile game from this.
Simple and hard to master game with great idea, art and music which also refers the theme of the game jam! How much more you want from game created in 48H? :D
Wow! Solid game, music, original!
nice and fun game.
A ton of fun, but also super difficult to perfect. Something I'm looking forward to playing a bunch more (even though I'm awful at bullet hells). Great work!
dude this is fken oahsum
This is a great example of letting the player do what they want to do. I want to swing around a giant ball and crush things, and that is exactly what you game provides, with just enough difficulty that it remains fun instead of frustrating. Great job!
Awesome meachnaic. It's a lot of fun. Feels like one of those games that is easy to learn but hard to master. Good job!
I love it, it is the type of game that with more options such as extra characters or items would be super addictive, if you add more things you can have something very good.
Simple but works! The score system kept me engaged and the enemies that could stand several hits made it better.
Really fun and chellenging game ! Love the way you built up speed :)
:) Very fun and very original!
The speed-up mechanic with moving in a circle is a …game-changer. (sorry) It feels intuitive and satisfying!
I think the ramp-up in difficulty is pretty good. It’s a pretty hard game though!
I really like the tutorially start, where you have to get enough speed to smash the other ball.
Really fun! The music sets a great mood for the game.
Really enjoyed swinging the ball around, great mechanics!
Great gameplay I missed some powerups that will spawn randomly that can be used to speed the ball or increase health something like that .Enjoyed!
