How does your game fit the theme?
We took the theme not too literally and we used "Scale" for the fact that the game scales in speed, REALLY FAST.

This is AMAZING! It looks great, it sounds great and it plays great. Super fun and juicy. I really dig the art style. Perfect. Doesn't matter for me that it veeery loosely fits the theme (same as mine), especially when it is that good. Outstanding work!

Developer

Thanks for playing our game!! yeahh about the theme is scaling SPEEED!

Okay, when the ball is going super fast and bouncing off all the walls, and you still manage to hit it, it's super cool! 

Developer

Thanks for feedback!!

Though light on the jam's theme, the game is dripping with theme! Can't help but smile when I whack the ball at full strength. I know not moving while charging was a design choice but maybe make it so you move slowly and can't jump instead for a quality of life improvement. Also to punctuate the time stop, add a punchier sound and maybe make an arrow so you can aim the ball.  Good job guys!

Developer

Those are great suggestions honestly! Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it :D

Everything feels better when it’s fast! And here it also felt like it’s easier to hit ball when it’s moving chaotically and fast :D

Also, impeccable vibes, huge props to the whole team!

Developer

We really sorry if your experience was ruined for the bug, is a known bug for our team, it happend when the big drones respawn when the ball is inside the collider. Thanks for the feedback and playing our game c:

i loved the swinging hitbox in this game, it didn't feel too big to where I'm always hitting the ball, but it was never too small to where I would get frustrated at not being able to hit the ball when it was already moving fast. the art looks quite nice and I love the look of the charge animation.

overall, great job to the dev team! my high score was 3555

can I ask if y'all got any inspiration from the character Metal Bat from One Punch Man? because the artwork and background of the game remind me of that character haha

Developer

Hello jttieu ! thanks for the feedback owo we put effort on the gamefeeling and the hitboxes but we have a loot to improve!, about the inspiration im not sure, maybe our artist @AbstractDesu can answer that

Submitted(+1)

i love the impact frames, really good job on that. i think this would be really fun as some kind of versus mode, maybe with some more intuitive controls. very very chunky-like baseball mechanics and im all for it. just needs some refining

thankss monkeeey man, we appreciate your feedback c:

Cool game

thanks! owo

The art is amazing, and I love how the game freezes for a second when you hit the ball.  I do think it would be fin if  there was some other mechanic other than just hit the ball really hard.  The enemy that damages you is a good example of this, but it's really not that big of a deal to be frozen for a second.  Overall really great game! 

Developer

Amazing feedback thank you!!
