That was a fun game!
I didn't realised that I needed to move the ground on the right panel at first, and tried to click and drag the hole on the left (got the impression since there was a hand catching the ball on the intro). Got me a few tries to discover the actual control.
The insect mechanic was a good distraction, you can easily miss who shot the incoming ball - or get paralyzed. Nice tension.
The game paced very quickly, at least for me, around the 5th level, which was as far as I could go for now. Definitely enjoyed it.
Good work!
Great game! The idea is cool but a little too hard for me, maybe I'm just suck at it...it would be better if the ball was highlighted longer so the player could see it more clearly.
Great minds do think alike XD. I love the idea, fits the theme really well. It'd be cool if the slider worked outside of it's area as long as you're holding down, so you can focus on the hole rather than what your mouse is doing. The retro aesthetic is really good too! Really well done!
Wow, what a nice game! Amazing concept and art style, and the “SUS” really got me. Genuinely enjoyed it!
I love this IDEA so much! Best creativity to combine the mechanics and the story!
( why would you think of this? I dont think anyone would have such experience lol
just played card shark and this intensity is so familiar! I like it when the punishment is not only restarting but also contains drama and emotion!
as a simple game it just beats most games with designed levels i see in the jam!
my collection now. I'll check this before making my next game

This feels like the plot of one of those 90s Disney films I watched as a kid.
That was really fun! The controls are intuitive and responsive. The difficulty has that nice, quick, arcade escalation. The setting and art is exceedingly charming!
[EDITED: 8-23] My only note is that[, at the default volume,] the sound effects are just a tiny bit loud. Not by much, only enough to sometimes peak above +0.0 dB.
Fantastic! Great work!
Short, unique and fun game!
A but disappointed there isn't an ending (that I know of) given the infinite nature of the game, since I loved the intro cutscene!
I like the fact that the balls reaching a spot close to the center was random, so sometimes either Joe or Dad will miss with a medium-sized hole, as well as the speed increase over time, which spices up the gameplay in a simple but effective way.
Well done!
Great interface, great setup - very outside-the-box approach to the theme. Wonderful submission
I was too sus! I love how wacky this is. Things got pretty crazy dealing with the balls and the bugs.
A great concept! I love the humour and character, and the gameplay was easy to understand and satisfying.
Nice game : the concept is cool. It's fun to add a leaderboard. Good job !
