I like the idea, and I think it fits the theme really nicely. The controls are a bit hard imo. I would like the player to move a bit faster. I know there’s a dash, but I don’t want to use too often. (Btw, the dash do nothing if you’re not moving! I would suggest to dash in the current player’s orientation). Finding the timing to catch the ball is super hard. I would like a visual or sound cue to know it’s the right time, or have a bigger catching window.
Pretty cool overall, congrats!
