It might be one of the more obvious ways of fitting the theme, but you manage to pull it off well! I'm impressed that you managed to make so many good puzzles with relatively few gimmicks.
Thanks for playing! I appreciate your kind words.
Cool game. Not the most crazy idea but it does it well. The player physics is way too sluggish and heavy which makes the puzzles a lot more annoying to solve than they should be.
Despite that, though, it's a pretty solid game, great job!
Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
Nice concept, the minimalist DA fits it nicely. The puzzle were a creative exploration of the rules you created
Thanks for playing and the feedback! I'm glad you liked the puzzles.
well designed puzzle! the ball speed is abit slow and and heavy but i like that you are implemented the part where the ball will die when it scale too small. is the kind of mechanic that is easy to understand but no one seems to implement that!
Thanks for playing and the thoughtful feedback! I'm glad you liked the puzzles.
I enjoyed this one the most so far. Good puzzles!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the puzzles.
some finnnnicky moments when the ball cant jump cause it gets stuck in a hole, this made some puzzles unfun. I think level X was my fav puzzle, as it was much less finnicky! good puzzles ideas, just kinda frustrating when you know what to do and cant get the execution just right.
Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
I'm glad you found the "impossible" level your favorite XD
I thought the level was actually impossible before I read this comment and went back to try to beat it x)
I really enjoyed this game. The levels are unique, such that each one brings new challenge. The tutorial advised me to not get stuck. Spoiler: I still got stuck a few times. Great job!
It's alright, we all get stuck sometimes XD
Thanks for playing!
The game doesn't even fit on my screen.
Please use the full-screen button under the game window to make it full-screen.
Yes, I tried that. It still doesn't work.
The puzzles are well designed and challenging! I wish the momentum of the ball's movement was less gradual, as I had some instances where I was moving too slow to escape a red beam. I also wish it was easier to change direction while jumping. I found myself figuring out the layout of the puzzles before I figured out how to use the momentum properly. Although, I suppose that's part of the challenge too :)
Overall, cool puzzle concept with potential!
Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
I did get another comment on the ball feeling slow to control. I'll keep that in mind once I get around to update the game.
I like the levels designs. Its also a fun but challenging game.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it.
This style reminded me of the Red Ball games (more specifically the very first one). It's hard but fun. Nice job!
Thanks for playing! Yeah, I was a little inspired by the Red Ball game. Glad you noticed!
amazing job, love another ball themed game for this jam, very challenging!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Enjoyed the game, hard but enjoyable. Gave me impossible game vibes
Thanks for playing and giving feedback! I'm glad you liked it.
Fun puzzler that is quick to understand. I got to level 8! I would of liked the ball to accelerate faster as when re-doing the same level it can feel a little slow. The movement is very creative and fun though!
Thanks for playing!
I made all the levels unlocked, so you can try them anyway!
Nice mechanics, I'm stuck on lvl 6!
Well done
Thanks for playing!
I didn't have time to fully flesh out the difficulty scaling for the jam. Because of this, I made of the levels unlocked, so you can try them anyway.
