Such a cool game, though it's a little bit hard to hit the enemy, especially the second level, give us a crosshair would be better.
Interesting gameplay and concept, was personally a fan of the gameplay but a tutorial would have been nice

A very interesting one button moveset. It was really fun to just dash around and spam the ball anywhere to do anything. Especially just endlessly flying over lava spamming the ball. Or just flying to infinity!!!
Though my main complaint would be the fact that the enemies seem to endlessly teleport around. Sorta mimicking the players dash, which isn't terrible, except that you end up dashing past each other basically ALL the time.
Overall though, I really enjoy the moveset for the game. The usage and setup have a lot of potential.
The art style's really neat and I like the idea of warping to your projectile in 3d space, but I had a lot of trouble aiming and figuring out what to do. I think what was getting me is that I couldn't really tell when my shot was making contact with or damaging an enemy. This may have been because I'm pretty bad at shooters and it's possible I never once made contact so I'm not sure. Overall though, it feels polished and like there's a cool idea at its core.
fun but a bit to hard to hit the enemies, maybe you can add some grace period after the dash where the player is invincible. I loved the art and style for the game as well as the music! Hope it continues
sure
Interesting take on the concept! There's a lot to expand on this idea. Good work!
It's a very satisfying jump mechanic but it is a bit too challenging to successfully aim and dash through enemies especially in the second level where you need to stay in the air so it becomes pretty hectic. But overall this is really fun and I love the art style using only outlines. It's cool unique and also improve visibility.
IT'S SO FUN, addicting, smart, and hard. you have a mechanic with a lot of potentials!
I'd suggest adding slow-mo in air just to easily understand the new situation you are in,
overall AMAZING!
Movement is solid! Too hard to hit the enemies tho. Game jam games being hard is cool but if its too random it becomes frustrating. Very promising idea! Had fun playing this!!
I dig the flying mechanic, movement in games is extremely important and you nailed it!
The enemies are hard to actually hit and find. I feel like the mechanics could have worked better as platformer. The actual throwing and dashing feels really nice but needs the right environment to let it reach its full potential.
very fun game
Fun Game! It's a little hard to see what is going on sometimes and the collision detection could use some work but the movement felt great! maybe add jumping or wallrunning and you would have a cool game!
The ennemies almost impossible to hit make it feel not really playable but just moving around with your ball is really fun and feels good.
Would love to see it go further with this kind of movement option !
Really cool art style! Would love to see it explored more!
Interesting gameplay, kinda hard to hit enemies but the idea is very cool and the aesthetic (having a 2D sprite on an FPS like that) is very nice. Music is also great!
Very clean style and also easy to understand idea. Would benefit from a cooldown between throws but otherwise very enjoyable.
It's a bit difficult to figure out what to do, otherwise I love the art style! I was also unable to throw the ball after a few deaths so had to restart! nice music also.
I love this idea, but it got really difficult really fast! I couldn't get past the second level with the flying bugs. It might be nice if the goal was just to reach a destination and killing the enemies just gave you extra points. I love the drawn artwork, though, and throwing the ball and dashing after it is pretty fun!
