Use of the limitation
Not sure why but the limitation reminded me of pinball. Launching 1 ball then using it to play with.

Had a lot of fun with this one - I'm a fan of the 'game but also rogulite' genre :) Also really enjoyed that the ball could bounce back into the launcher haha.

Might be fun if the player could choose where to add the nodes?

Thanks for playing! I agree I think I should have made more of a backpack type of thing where you place what, you want and were you want.

that was neat. i think the plunger would be better with a keyboard shortcut so that you don’t need to involve a whole ’nother input device (the mouse) just for that. i found that the “power ups” were more of a hindrance than a help, just eating the balls, but i was still surviving after going through what i think are all the levels a few times each

Developer

Thanks for playing! I thought about adding a key for the plunger but I liked pulling it myself lol and the power ups some work together and some don't. It was more of experimentation on my end

pretty fun, although i found that i was using the slider more than the actual paddles for the game, fun none the less, and i like the simplistic art style

The concept was great, but the physics feel clunky and there could have been more level variability.

Thanks for playing! I agree I had more ideas for levels with other moving parts and other physics objects
