This is lowkey my favourite game in the whole jam. I've come back to it the most times to keep playing it (though, I'm still awful at it lol). The concept is just so damn good (and addictive!). I only wish i could go into or restart attempts faster, maybe by pressing R or something.
Regardless, amazing work!

Simple and addictive, I had an absolute blast! The core gameplay feels solid, though there a few enemy interactions that I think could definitely be looked at, as their behavior sometimes made me lose runs that felt beyond my control (enemies hitting the ball from offscreen, falling seemingly at random, etc..). Otherwise, great game!
Thanks so much for playing and congrats on an amazing score! I definitely hear you on the enemy issue, I gave them a lifetime that increases the longer u survive, but ended up running out of time before being able to make something like a healthbar or indication to the player. They also spawn a little bit offscreen, I think in the future I will make everything (goals and enemies) spawn inside camera bounds and also make the camera follow the player so the space doesn’t feel so binding. I think more space would only make the game more fun while keeping it challenging. Let me know if you have any other ideas!
everything is pretty cool! i only disliked that you cant restart without quitting to the menu every time
I love the difficulty of the game! One suggestion I would make is to not have the ball go off the sides of the screen and only fall down the bottom. But that's just personal preferences. Otherwise it is very fun to get cool combos!

I found it really hard to control the ball and keep it in play because of the foot always rotates randomly every time I move the mouse. The gameplay idea appears to be solid though.
When the ball goes offscreen, there's nothing I can do.
The leaderboard does work and it's nice that it's a global leaderboard.
