Fast paced, I really liked the juicyness, especially the trail after the ball. Music and sounds complete the rich experience, really nice!

I tried to play it on iPhone at first, but I cannot see the obstacles (see screenshot.)

I did play it on Desktop as well, and the game has a lot of juice. Nice particle effects, sound effects and animations. The style is clean and coherent. The game is good at building tension.

It took a while before I understood I could touch and drag the ball again to send it in a different direction only after I collected a crystal. Once I knew that, I was able to score some more points. Good work on the entry!

oh no! I'm not sure why it didn't work on your iPhone, I've tested it on four iOS devices and they all worked fine - an iPad 2, an iPhone 6s, an iPhone X, and an iPhone 14...

I'm glad you liked the juice, that's kinda my whole schtick when it comes to making games 😂

I use Safari, and iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16.2. I can select other balls, and I can play the game, but the border and obstacles are missing. Maybe it’s my Safari version that doesn’t support something in Unity’s WebGl export? I have no idea.

Juice is good, and I absolutely need more juice in my own games!

I have no idea 😂 I'll do some more testing, but the likelihood is that this becomes a pure mobile game rather than a web game anyway lol, which should immediately fix that issue. I hate Unity's WebGL export, it sucks

I updated my iOS to 16.5, and now I can see everything

While the game doesnt have that much competitive flavour, its still quite nice game with great juice.

One of the things i do like a lot in this game is furiously biting my nails as i accidentally used up my extra launch only for my soul to ascend to heavens as the ball miraculously hits the diamond thing that gives you the extra launch. my heart can only handle so much pleasure :D

Thanks! Yeah the competitive aspect was intended to come through generated insults you can send the other players in your group (everyone is sorted into groups of 4, you only ever see the other 3 players in the group), but I didn't quite have time in the end!
