A cool concept for this jam's theme, and a really good idea regardless of the jam. The stress of staying on top of hitting your ball while aiming at enemies AND dodging projectiles is really intense!

One change I would like is some audio feedback when the green indicator appears, so I could just listen out for it rather than keep looking away from my crosshair.

Awesome game though, genuinely one of the best I've played in the jam.

Now this is unique and impressive! I wasn't very good at it lol, but it was fun to try and get better. Maybe next you should try turning this into... a Paddleroyale?!

I liked this one a lot. I actually found myself playing this for a lot longer than I originally intended to, just because I was enjoying myself so much. My favorite parts are when there are a bunch of the enemies that fire projectiles, and I'm trying to dodge them while also taking them out. I also really dig the music.

Quite challenging. The interface is well made and intuitive even without the tutorial.

The concept of your game is very fun. However it is a bit hard to control. I got hit many times and i dont know exactly why.

I love the overall presentation of your game, the 2D sprites looks fantastic in a 3D environment.

All in all this is a pretty solid submission. Good work.

Can't exit on windows build, have to Alt+F4. Not sure if it's just me being old but feel like the difficulty could have been slightly lower. Having the indicator being optional is pretty good because I pretty much need to have that on 100%. The indicator will still show green if your ball is coming behind you, but the ball will still hit you regardless if it's behind you, so maybe change that to indicate danger somehow? Other than that, it's a fun little game, where's the boss rush part though.

It's a fun little game.

I wish there was a little bit more emphasis on swinging the ball around though (like a mace), I felt like it's a bit hard to control. Maybe having enemies all around would help. In addition to that, you can make it add more score if the ball spent long time without hitting the paddle.

That's a bit of a ramble though, catchy stuff!

It's original but a lot for me to take in ^^. once there is enemies that shoot at you, I'm lost

Fun and difficult game, really good concept and realization. Physics looks good and pretty intuitive.

Submitted(+1)

The gameplay is really fun (and difficult). Art style is original and it looks good. Fits the theme perfectly :D. Music starts to feel a bit annoying.

Submitted(+1)

The physics on the paddleball are really great. I'm terrible at it but it's a lot of fun!

Submitted(+1)

Really enjoyed this, great concept.

Really fun, and difficult, idea to build around, I was seriously hoping someone would do paddle ball and I'm really glad you're the one who did.

I could easily picture this being fleshed out into a more easily controllable first person adventure game

Great execution of a fun concept!
