Good fun gameplay. I really liked how snappy your controls, movement and hits are. Felt the bouncy ball was too fast to locate, but the game being forgiving with respawning helps to ignore that. Music and audio effects are well chosen and they match well with the art style. Also your game art is simple and clean. Job well done!
Feel free to hop into my game as well and share your thoughts and ratings if you have the time!
The game is feel is cool, it has impact and cute music.
The idea of hitting the falling blocks would be cool, but since the ball is so fast and the delay between swings is pretty long, hitting a block always meant missing the ball for me so I never used it after a while.
Also the controls on the page do not mention that you can control the cat sideways with A/D which is necessary since the automated control is not able to catch the ball all the time.

I like how you can hit falling blocks back up! It is a simple and graceful way to get multiple balls in play at once that fits in the theme as well--the obstacles become your tools. Though it could be kind of hard to gauge when to hit the balls because they moved so fast, so the timing could get frustrating. But it felt good when I managed to hit a volley with many balls in a row! The slight pause whenever you smacked a ball adds a lot to the impact.

Cool game! The gameplay may be rather frustrating at first, but gets fun eventually
Really liked the cute cat
^w^
LOOOOVE the pixel artwork. And you had me at cats. :)
tysm :)
Fun concept with cute art. Good job!
Was the "Aughhhh" really necessary?! I know I am bad at games, but come on -_-
*crosses arms in frustration
(this time I can't even blame the game, I know it's good)
we must blame the game anyway
it is the only way
That title sequence is incredible, the music rips, and hittin stuff with a bat feels crunchy and good. Amazing jam entry all around!
omg thank you :D
That was a fun game. I did notice a bug where the ball sometimes phases through blocks. I don't know what that's caused by but it was a great concept.
yes sadly i couldn't quite figure that one out
Whack whack whack whack
Good stuff - Came from GM Discord :)
Found the hitting a bit hard to time whilst moving side to side but that is part of the implementation of the theme. Outside of that it was great :) Particularly loved how crunchy it feels
tysm :D
I like to hit the stuff and watch numbers increase.

Smacking with the bat was a lot of fun. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I thought it might be nice to have more control over the cat's movement rather than it moving on it's own. Simple yet satisfying game!
that was there for the "roles reversed" theme
tysm im glad you enjoyed :)
my high score was 135590. this is a lot of fun, own of the most enjoyable I've played here
tysm :)
godo vibes, the ball glitches thru the blocks pretty often, not sure if thats intentional. ball moves a little fast, quite hard to keep a rally going
