Very nice game! It's great how many ways of dealing with the enemies there are with just a simple mechanic! I would recommend lowering the time it takes to restart, also making the particles directional for even better feedback. It's a bit weird that the huge slow bots fly away when you crush to them, but just a detail :D. Great job!! Wait, this is your first jam game? What?! :)

Brilliant game and such a simple yet fun concept. Love the danger aspect of killing yourself if you're not careful!  Also strangely addictive too! Well done!

That's a really creative mechanic. Love how your weapon is also a danger to you. Great job :D

It was really interesting how your ball can be used to your advantage but also kill you. We really liked that! Also, this game was really well polished and felt good! Thank you for making it! :)

This was such an addicting little arcade game that made me want to keep playing even though I knew I should move on to something else. It gave me that really good "just one more time" itch. I loved the art style and the idea of swinging around a giant spiky ball that also damages myself. I had such a great time with this one. I really hope you come back to this one post-jam and add more stuff, like more enemies and the like, because I can't get enough of this. Amazing game!

By the way, we played your game on our stream tonight!
