Creative changes to a classic game. Great work!
Kudos on making a game with such charm and elegance!
Super fun evolution of the classic breakout style game! Saw this get played on the GMTK Live stream yesterday too, so congrats on that! I had a lot of fun giving the prototype a try for myself.
Nice interpretation of the classic with scaling mechanic. I like the art style. Maybe i would just decrease that sensitivity, it was bit too much.
Really polished, fun idea. I had a couple of cases of weird behavior shooting the ball but nothing major. Nice work making brick breakers feel fresh!
I love this game, its only negative point is that the sensitivity is too high for me. the graphics are super cool!! Nice job !
Cool game! I loved the art and super coherent style in general!
Very nice take on the breaker, art and ambiance are very cosy. Great job!
One day, I hope to learn how to create an Itch.io page as appealing as yours. Your game is very cute, and I appreciate the clever minimalist approach to the theme. I believe that improving the physics could enhance the experience significantly, as it felt a bit cumbersome at times. Overall, great job!
Very chill vibes. I like the concept! It's got a nice balance between making sure the ball is big / small enough and not hurting the paddle. I love the art style!
Got stuck right at the end with the ball stuck going perfectly left & right - don't even know how I did it lol
But I love this take on the theme and hope that someone else can get these two lover to their rings!
Very cool game! The art style and the music is nice and chill and it is a good concept. I felt as if the moving the paddle was a tad bit too sharp and the bar on the bottom needs to be explained better. Other than that great job!
This game is incredibly cute and very fun to play! Only complaint is that the paddle breaking feels a bit inconsistent, it's hard to understand exactly in which conditions the ball will break the paddle. Well done!
Cute fun game! love that i was shooting the ball with hearts hehe <3 i think sometimes it wasn't shrinking the ball though on the second level, unless it needs to get hit multiple times to shrink in that case
Very cute game and novel take on a classic like breakout. Nice work!
The idea sounds interesting, but I was upset by 2 things:
1) the platform reacts very sharply to inputs, which makes it inconvenient to control
2) if you constantly tap the spacebar during the game, at some point you can simply break the game - for example, my ball hung in the air, began to pass through blocks and change the X coordinate depending on my control of the platform
Beautiful art and cool mechanical concept about growing/shrinking the ball. Ran into a bug where ball would move whenever I moved the paddle. Nice game!
art feels really polished and cute! it's too easy to keep the ball within size by spamming shoot, but otherwise it's really nice to play.
Great looking game. The ball and the paddle have such personal expressions, love them both.
The sound and music is good.
The paddle were hard to control becouse of the fast speed. (which have been mentioned allready)
Good game! Great work!
I had the same problem as the previous comment. Platform moved way to fast for me to control properly. Tha was my only issue. Overall the game looks gorgeuos and the music is nice too. Great work!
Would greatly appreciate it if you checked out my game!
