Gameplay felt like basketball on steroids in the year 3000. You have found very creative uses for the head. I wish I could have changed controls so that "Space" would be jump and right mouse click would be slowmotion. Also there could have been some screen effect to know when time was slowed down. Visually and soundwise the game is very pleasing. The head hurting on impact was a nice touch too. Awesome job!

Developer

OMG I'm so glad you noticed the head getting hurt sometimes. Even though it's a minute detail, and wasn't that difficult to put in, it's personally my favorite thing in the game :P

Love the style and what a unique design in game play. It was challenging at first, but then it started to feel like b-ball. great stuff!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I did find that it was quite tricky for newer players.

Cool game! Very interesting take on the throwing mechanics. Graphics & music are also awesome!

Developer

I love the idea for this game, maybe it's a bit too hard too fast for my taste... It felt almost like a Kaizo rom hack for the huge amount of precision platforming and aiming, which to me was a bit frustrating...

I love the lil' robot dude, really cool!

Developer

I definitely see where you're coming from, there's a lot to be improved on the gameplay (and the level design). Thank you so much for playing!

The art is AMAZING, really like the story images, very impressive on such a short time

The music is AMAZING.

The gameplay is fun and creative.

Movement feels too fast movement when player does not have the ball, maybe tweak it a little bit

There is no feedback when slow mode is on which makes it hard to tell if I accidently set it off or on, consider adding a timer icon or something on the screen.

There is no feedback on submit button so I don't know if it worked or not when I clicked it. And can be clicked twice.

Consider adding a fullscreen button.

Thanks for playing. if you didn't make it to the leaderboard after clicking submit, you didn't make a high enough score.

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate the kind words. These are a lot of good points I'm going to write down for if I want to make a post jam version.
I absolutely have to admit I was planning on giving feedback for the submit button and I forgot..
For now you don't have to worry about clicking it too much, your score will only be able to be submitted once each time you get a new score :)

Cutscene is awesome!

Control is very well implemented, pleasant responsiveness. The visuals didn't disappoint either! Great job!

Developer

Extremely polished! The speed mode you enter when you throw your head can be a but difficult to control at times but once you master it you can get some really fast times! The art, sound, and game-play are all amazing! Splendid job! ^^

Developer(+2)

Thank you! Got to watch your gameplay of it after I got up. Was taking plenty of notes in case we come back to the project in the future. Good luck on trying to get all the others within the few days!

Everything in this game feels incredibly polished, I would have never guessed this was a 72h game jam game if I had found it randomly. You guys really are an op team.

Developer

Thank you so much, that's so sweet of you to say! We quite enjoyed your game too. Hope you had a fun gamejam!
