Took me a bit to get the hang of it (more my tired brain than the controls), but I can see this being a fun hyper casual mobile game. Great work!
Thanks!! <3
Great job! Really nice fun game! A lot of attention to detail! I especially appreciated the coherence of the different animations, the level layout switching, camera shaking, the small curvature you gave to the level layout, the fact that the game paused when the window game is not focused, and, of course, the base concept! It runs smoothly!
I playtested for a little bit and I was not able to find relevant bugs or issues. The only things I noticed are the following (based on the attention to detail you put in the game I think it's probable you already noticed them): 1) I found it a bit strange that the last path line reaming on the screen after the ball gets reset (on you died state); 2) in a level layout, a block barrier was super close to the level outline, I hid in the small corner formed with the level outline, in that spot the enemies (apart from red balls) could not reach me, then when a red ball killed me the ball-health got stuck at the big-black-ball animation state (after restart everything returned to normal, though I don't know if that layout and the animation issued was correlated); 3) the path line flickering bothered me a little bit (I think this can be a little bit hard to make it always smooth)
Super great job! One of my favorites!
WOW!!! Thanks for this GREAT and AMAZING feedback! For your observations (in order) :
1) I forgot the remove the line and I agree with you!
2) I understand the issu with some walls too close to the boarder, but for the health animation, was the black ball really big (and just didn't implode to it's normal size afterwards)?
3) That would be a great coding challenge!
<3
Thanks!
2) Yes, it just did not implode (you think is not related to that level layout right?)
Nop, it really isn't related to that level layout! Thanks again!!
Much fun here, I think the only two things that were "uncomfy" to me were the sound after getting a kill felt negative, and the penalty of the dash cooldown felt too much. overall though very good!
I agree with you! Thanks for this great feedback!
Very cool game! Had a lot of fun! Excellent Job!
Thanks!!!
Fun! Good smooth animations. Gameplay is awesome!
Thanks!!!
This is fun but I am terrible at it! I really like the simplistic graphics, and the fact that you can practice controlling the ball in the start menu is a nice touch.
<3
Nice game - I like how the levels switched up with every play and the sound.
:)
Really liked the sound when hitting the enemies. Maybe I would have added a little invincibility window after being hit. Overall really nice gem in this jam hehe!
I agree with you for this invincibility window, since if an enemy spawns right after you dashed, it is a bit unfare to lose a life. Thanks for this great comment! <3
This is one of my faves for this jam! It's a simple concept but executed in such a genius way. I love how you can use objects to bounce your trail off of & the little feedback animations you've used really elevate the game. 10/10
Thanks for this great feedback!! <3
Other than the level being a little too small for my taste I think this is a really cool game! I like the idea, the mechanics and the general physics flow. Well done! :)
XD
This was really cool! The game is on point, the sound is good and it feels really smooth and polished, good job!
Thanks! <3
