the look and sound of this game is pretty great. i really like the character portraits on the title screen, they look great and fit the vibe perfectly. i also really liked the sporty music, it fit right into the game. the game itself is really innovative, i've never really seen anything like it before. however, the gameplay needs some more polish. the movement code is a little janky, moving diagonally was really slow for some reason. the hitboxes didn't work a lot either, i had to repeatedly walk over money for it to be picked up. in addition, once the balls are out there's no real way to kill your enemies except sending another one out (which increases your chances of dying) or trying to lure them into the path of one (which is extremely difficult). maybe an object that attracts enemies to a location could've fixed this problem (but that's up to you to decide)

Thanks for playing the game. " i had to repeatedly walk over money for it to be picked up. in addition, once the balls are out there's no real way to kill your enemies except sending another one out (which increases your chances of dying)"-theme for the jam was let there be chaos, and more balls = chaos, and money only comes to you if you have the magnet item, so you constatly need to dodge the balls that defends you from enemies but also they can kill you too.
