Was fun to see the ball disappear to infinity... and beyond... in level 4. :-)

A few more levels would be great!

Thanks! I haven't had enough time to think about ideas and to add more levels. But I'm very glad, that it works as a prototype. ^^

I love the level inside the level idea! The controls were sometimes off and it seemed that sometimes interactions did not work. But the game had some really good promise!

Thank you for the feedback, but what's the exact problem with the controls. Because it should work and the interactions should too, when you have the right amount of speed.

Good job getting something like this working! It'd be cool to see it taken further, for now it feels very bare bones

Thank you for your comment. As you have already pointed I was very focused on getting it working. So I added the levels on the last day. The game doesn't have much gameplay, because I was programming.

Cool concept and fun gameplay. Would love some more polish and audio. Great job overall!

Thank you. I wanted to do it mostly by myself. (audio, programming, etc...). That's why not everything is absolutly polished.

Plays smoothly, I enjoyed the game. Really liked how you implemented targeting+power meter, didn't get it at first but in hindsight it feels super intuitive

My favorite part was the last level with the gravitation shenanigans

The font scaled really poorly though

Thank you for playing! Unity has some kind of problem with scaling my UI. I am not an expert though.

Very cool idea, kinda breaks my brain :D Could use some clearer and even more interesting levels

Thank you, the programming was so hard, I haven't had enough time to think about proper (advanced) levels. Thank you for your comment!
