Game Description
Small game made to be simple yet hard and replayable to get the highest score

How does your game tie into the theme?
You control where and where to explode the ball into miniballs, how well it works depends on how much you let it bounce. Enemies defeated by miniballs also create more miniballs making a chain reaction of chaos in your favor. You also control how many enemies you wait for before dropping the ball to bounce it around them.

Great entry, very fun to play. Simple idea executed perfectly. It fits the theme very well and is fun to play too. Simple graphics get the job done, while remaining cute at the same time. Using space to explode the ball didn’t always work, but that should be an easy fix with some input buffering. I got 68630 points after a couple of tries :)

Great job with the base engine, and I loved the graphics on all the little pieces. It was super satisfying watching everything bounce around and the game was super fun once I got a feel for it.

You did a really good job on the bouncing physics, sound effects, and generally adding juice to the game. The bomb explosion didn't seem to always work when i pressed space and when it did it didn't always feel very impactful, I think you have a lot of room there to inject some juice. Honestly, great job!

I was frustrated at first, because it took me a few rounds to figure out how to trigger the miniballs; but that’s my fault for not reading X)

Once I figured that out, though, man I had so much fun. Great job on a fun and addicting game loop. It felt very good to play. The different enemy laughs and final face design are the cherry on top – my favorite bit of personality in any of the jam game so far.
