Really excellent presentation and sound effects. Love the unique concept and setting of big chain reactions is extremely satisfying. Only complaint is being able to spam LMB as quickly as you like forever undermines and lets you completely bypass the unique mechanics that should be and the centre of gameplay. A really good entry over all.
The music, sound effects, and visuals is super cool. The gameplay is chaotic and even after having read the tutorial I am not total sure what is happening, and I most ended just spamming the left mouse key. Overall a okay little jam game.
Very cool idea and well executed. Though I felt I was more successful just spamming balls instead of choosing strategically. Would make sense to incorporate some limits or mechanics that force the player to think more
Fish and I tried thinking of multiple solutions to that, but in the end we wouldn't hve time to implement said solutions
maybe in a post-jam vesion of the game, if we make that!
First of all, not a game dev!
This is the first game out of my queue that I had some serious fun with, and that I'm recommending to one of my partners, who loves this kinda game! Masterfully-executed, especially for coming in so far underneath the deadline! Love the spin on the shooter puzzle genre: having to shoot an obstacle a certain number of times before it reaches you keeps ya on your toes! Keep up the amazing work!
Interesting idea and fun to play!
