How does your game fit the theme?
Both your score and ball grow and shrink exponentially in size. Breaking the scale of the score will give you bonus multipliers, but a larger ball will make it harder to aim.

This is on of the most funny gameplays i test on this jam, and i try a loot of submitions! really well done with the feeling in the controls, the sounds and hitting the power ups are really cool too. amazing work
Really fun and juicy gameplay. Once the ball gets big and the powerups start activating it gets really satisfying!
That was very fun to play! Presentation is great, game feel is great, nice arcade vibes, well done ! :)
Lovely polished game!
Glad you liked it and thanks for playing!
Great job! You manage to make very fun and competitive arcade! And art is also very polished!
Thanks :) glad you enjoyed it!
I like how you can also hit the spirit with bat, and they can clash into each other, it's fun! Also it's so satisfying to make the ball bigger.
Thank you for playing! In the early stages, the only way we could eliminate 'bad' enemies was to strategically cash in a good score and then get rid of the enemies by hitting them with a low-score ball (so it didn't hurt your points very much). That was definitely less than ideal and we felt like some mechanic was missing. When we came up with the ability to hit enemies (and smash them against each other) it 100% clicked and made the game tons more fun. Thanks for the feedback!
That's so cool, glad to know how this idea came up. Those click moments are truly satisfying and I guess that's a fun aspect of being a game dev.
This was amazing! I got to 5 singularities. I get to see a lot of numbers go up, get really nice controls, and satifying hits?! Honestly might've been the best game from the jam I've played so far
Thank you, this means a lot :D Glad you enjoyed it! (and five singularities is a great score, congrats!)
Very polished game! It is noticeable that your team worked hard and carefully on it, very fun!
I can definitely see this game going in the top 100! :D
Glad you had fun! Top 100 would be absolutely bonkers :D
This game is so much fun! I love the clever idea combined with such a simple core concept. Could use a bunch more modifiers and some progression for your bat, but a jam game is a jam game haha. Nice job!
We definitely want to take this one further and add a bunch of stuff, hehe. Thanks for the feedback and glad to hear you enjoyed it!
This game is sick! It's very nicely polished and I love arcade titles for jams! Great take on the theme too. Always blown away by what people manage in a only a couple of hours.
Thank you! Really glad to hear you liked it :)
That was super fun! Very well made, I kinda want a full version of this game now
we're with you, we kind of want a full version of it as well xD
glad you've enjoyed your time with it <3
i got a score of minus 500 quintillion (18 0's) in like 5 minutes idk how
it must have been rigged!
super fun and satisfying, the movement and hitting the ball are just so crisp... reminds me of the game lethal league
we're glad you enjoyed it! we really tried to make everything feel good this time around, and I'm also glad that you noticed a reference to lethal league
i liked your style of game.
i liked your style of game.
I loved it even though I'm very bad at it, I only score a billion or so. I like the addition of slow-mo mode for people like me who get overwhelmed too easily.
Glad to hear you liked it! We really wanted to have completely ridiculous scores in the game so it's great to hear things like "I only scored a billion or so". As for the slow-mo, we almost removed it because we weren't using it, but in hindsight I'm happy we left it in :)
Huge fan of how you can knock negative enemies into each other instead of only having the ball to rely on, it makes the game a lot more interactive!
Got an infinite score a little too easily but really enjoyed this one, good job everyone!
Thanks for trying our game!
By the way, you can reach more than one infinite, so that's only the starting point 😉.
waaaait that's super cool!
Really fun, and the hit sound is very satisfying
Still playing - it's really cool. Would love to be able to unlock a double jump
we're glad you liked it! we definitely found ourselves all in silence play"testing" in discord for long periods of time lol
double jump sounds like an interesting addition yeah. We kinda thought of it (and some similar mechanics), but oh well, time and all that
Thanks for trying our game! I'm glad you liked it. If you can, I would try to keep playing until you get one singularity, I promise it's worth it.
We are really happy you enjoyed our game! Regarding OFF, we didn't know it was a thing until you mentioned it, it seems that we came up with a similar idea by accident.
Chill. Off is an cult rpgmaker type game. Youre game is super unique
