Nice execution of the Jam’s theme. The game fells nicely polished. I think the bloom goes somewhat against the 3-color restriction, but that’s probably a matter of opinion.
I don’t like that the game completely captures the mouse. I feel that not knowing the exact mouse position makes the game somewhat awkward to control, as it becomes less clear how much the direction arrow changes under mouse movement. But the level design seems to require such detailed controls. (I think this problem could be mitigated by centering the ball in the center of the screen, and then moving the map around it. In this way, the relative position of the ball and the mouse pointer doesn’t change while the ball is moving.)
Thanks. I think a free mouse would be fine if the camera chased the ball like you suggested, but using a static camera (or even a cinemachine cam) makes a free mouse kind of confusing because it relies on tracking the mouse relative to the ball then. I think a better solution would be if I had made the direction marker more sensitive and have more range for games that needed it, like golf.
I must say that this one was quite challenging in a bit of a floaty, uncontrollable way. The particles and little bounces and friction slides were nice, but the game was quite punishing. I'd suggest either adding checkpoints, speeding up the overall gamespeed with some physics value adjustments, or both. You did a good job of using the jam's restriction to your advantage, however, by making it clear what the goal was and what would hurt you, so kudos for clarity and a clean art style - controlling the arrow felt nice and responsive, but making it longer to make it easier to judge the effect of an angle over large distances wouldn't have hurt either.
I'm not sure if I was supposed to hear sound, but, if there was, I didn't hear it.
Maybe tighten up the controls and make the game a bit more forgiving, I'd say. :)
very good game and challenging (Y)
