Beautiful game! Fun idea. Well done!

Very fun game with a creative twist. I love the art style

Beautiful art and sound! The graphics for the whole project are beautiful in general! Managed to make it to the end, I really enjoyed it! Not sure if it's a bug but at one point I managed to get Ball absolutely MASSIVE. Great game!

Submitted

Cute art and music style! Controls are uneasy with only keyobard, and the Puddle moves too fast.

Submitted

Great game! I like the artstyle and the game mechanics

Submitted

Super neat! This is a really polished entry, I liked the additional context that they were getting married 🥰 the little hearts to make ball smaller were cute.

Submitted

Loved the art style and the gameplay was an interesting take on breakout. I found that there was a wierd bug where the ball left the paddle but was still linked up to it. I also found a slight issue at one point, where if you just keep spamming the hearts sometimes the ball just keeps getting bigger without ever getting angry. 

Overall though, I had a good time :P

Submitted

I really like this game and the ball is just too cute <3

Submitted

Amazing art style!! We love the color pallete it brings really cozy feeling! Awesome take on the theme! Nice job! 

Submitted

Really cute game. I liked that there were no lives and I could just chill and have fun with the game. The art is really nice and everything feels very warm and cozy. My only complaint is that I think Paddle should find a better partner, as I can't help but notice that Ball is very hostile towards Paddle, while Paddle shows nothing but kindness to Ball. Perhaps it's time for Paddle to find someone more deserving of their love (this is not a real complaint the game is awesome!)

Submitted

The art is so cute and the concept is so cool. but a little problem, the board is moved so fast, maybe let's speed slowly is a good idea.

Submitted

Awesome way to take breakout and make it less boring. Epic game.

Great Idea and execution well done 

Submitted

Great Art Work and UI!  and cute idea for the theme 

Submitted

That is a very cool take on the theme! It's a very delicate balancing act from having the ball destroy as many objects or destroying you. I struggled with the paddle sensitivity, but maybe that's intended to make it a bit challenging.

Submitted

Is this cute art hiding a darker metaphor about a one sided relationship? Very cool game!

Developer

Now this, my friend, is a conspiracy hidden within that we want players to discover. Who knows what can we do once we can implement dialogue in this 4 days jam game (hint: your guess is quite close). Glad you enjoyed the game! :)

Submitted

Very cool concept! I liked the artwork as well, very cute. I do think that the paddle is a little bit too sensitive, maybe a slider for that would have been useful. Overall, an interesting game :)

Submitted

Nice twist, everything looks and sounds great too!

Submitted

Presentation was superb! Lovely spin on Breakout, just wish I had more control over ball physics

Submitted

This was a nice spin on breakout. The art style is super stand-out and looks really good. Great work!
