That was fun! Took me like 5 attempts to beat the game, at first I didn't realize you had to hit that ball and thought it was just about killing enemies, but when I finally figured out hitting the ball advances the level then the game became a lot more fun. It was pretty tough near the end, a nice challenge. Good conscious game design decisions too like giving the player invincibility from the ball after hitting it for a short window (at least I'm pretty sure that was a thing)
