I think I had some eggnog, but that's really all I'd classify as sweets.

Very cool mechanics of pulling the orb around and it is getting more energy. I didn't get it at first and tried to just shoot the enemies to the face, but then reread the description and tried again and it was way more fun to try to speed up the orb and hit the enemies from behind. I guess less obstacles on the level could be nice and less challenging for the start and maybe try to make roguelite metaprogression on top and I can easily see this being sold in Steam. All in all, a fun solid entry with a nice breakbeat soundtrack :D
Yeah, there's a fair bit of room for improvement there. When I entered this one, I felt less optimistic about whether this could be an actual game in the future. However, some of the ideas that you and other reviewers have given me have swayed me a bit, and so I may take some time in the near future to work on this a bit. Thanks for playing!
Cool game, I liked how instead of just plainly shooting the enemies you try to move the gravity of the orbs to make them hit the enemies. It'd be nice to have some things that would keep the game interesting in the later stages, maybe some new enemy types, maybe an ability to improve the speed and damage of the orbs. Good job tho
At first I thought I had to get the orbs behind the enemies (because it looked like they had a shield) and was playing the game like a ninja for that reason. I really enjoyed it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks. Yeah, I see how you could come to that conclusion. Maybe I should've tested that restriction, cause it sounds pretty cool.
Nice game! I liked the idea, though I still don't understand what damages me and what damages the enemies, although thats my bad. I liked it overall!
Thanks. To be clear, the enemies damage you once they reach you. Just stay out of reach. In order to damage the enemies, you have to get the orbs to ram into them with some speed.
Thanks! It's a lot clearer now.
