Me no read, no write - This was very difficult, and very fun.
Minimalistic
That's my voice line - Also a great idea, and super fun.
One hand friendly
How did you feel during the jam?
I felt great. I've been toying around with game engines for years, and never gone much beyond a bare bones prototype. This is the first time I've released any sort of game before, so it's awesome. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed building it!

I love the game! Very fun, casual entry. I think it would make an amazing mobile game. Seriously, I think it may be worth exploring this option. :) Congratulations on creating and releasing your first game!
What I loved:
- The gameplay is very intuitive and very clear.
- The sound effects are just adorable
What I would do differently:
- I think the forces are combined when 'shooting' the ball while it is moving, which makes it go in a different place than the little blue target ball shows. This was a little bit confusing for me but didn't break the experience.
Great entry!

Thanks for your comments! I had a blast working on this, and the month long game jam was the perfect time for me to go through the entire game development process. I also plan to look into exporting it for Android, and potentially iOS, depending on how painful the processes are: playing on a tablet or phone, preferably one handed, was one of my primary goals.
I was torn between setting the velocity to zero before applying the force, and combining it. It looks like I went with the wrong choice :D I struggled for a long time with the raycasts (the 3D math in general), and conveying the game status to the user visually, but I am very happy with the outcome. I'll let you know if I update the game further, or if I throw together a dev log video.
