We had some requests to extend the jam, so we decided to extend it to Saturday (8/12) at 12:00pm CST!
You are welcome to submit your game earlier, but please feel free to use this time to extend your game or to polish it.
Enjoy the extra time!
Hey Nick! We replied to this in the Discord server. The gist of it was you should check out Kritta.

Hi Jack. Yes, we just created one! Thanks for asking this question. Here is the link to join the server. https://discord.gg/ntHwVsUg
Yes! I see it now and was able to download and play. Very simple but still fun! A few easy improvements to the game would be to add some sound (music and effects) and add some more gameplay elements. Maybe speed up the ball after every hit off the paddle, or maybe add the ability to spin the ball if it hits the paddle while the paddle is moving, like in table tennis! Good job overall though!
I made it to level 10. Simple game, but still fun. Addition of complexity as the levels increase is good. It does start to get complicated as the levels increase, but I found myself being more hindered by not being quick enough to change the color as opposed to trying to solve the puzzle. Maybe slow down the ball on more complicated levels, or try to leave a little more room for time when having to switch to multiple colors in a short amount of time. Overall a pretty good game, although not super sure how it relates to the theme 'Out of Control', other than not being able to control the ball directly. Good job!
