Very interesting mechanics and overall has a good scope to be made into a full fledge game!

Very cool and innovative gameplay! The level you've set up was really engaging, and I think there's lots of design space to expand into if you wanted to. Would also be great to see this spiced up with some art, although you may need to update the game's name then...

The best and longest name of the game jam. The game mechanics were well done, and I liked the variety of opponents.

 I think this game has my favourite name in the jam. I like the idea of a god of war axe but with Sisyphus and his boulder, it being both a shield and a weapon and moving so slow made for some interesting gameplay. Hope you enjoyed jamming . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

Nice physics and interesting mechanics. Not sure it’s 0% success since the ball makes you pretty invincible if you position it just right. Good job!

Submitted

The idea is good, I think with more polish it could be really addictive, smashing guards and prisoners with a wrecking ball, like a rough, over-the-top version of Breaking Bad.

Very nice, simple, and fun game! The ball is pretty strong and can "stun lock" enemies in place, and I liked the shadows that gave 3D-like depth in a 2D looking world.

I only have one criticism! The fact that you can always keep the ball with you makes you practically invincible! I’ve played it a couple of times: once following the normal flow of the game and the other time speedrunning by holding down the left button.

Otherwise, it’s a really nice idea! the mechanics themselves, the fact that you can use the ball for attacking, anchoring, and defending.

Pretty tough game, I liked it a lot, still haven’t beaten it though.

The ball-and-chain mechanic was implemented really well here. Nice job giving it multiple uses too; working as an attack, a shield, and even an anchor. It got really fun once I started getting the hang of how to use it. The level design was done well and had a good variety of enemies/hazards too.

Haha, great mechanics. The rush I got from beating the boss in between the two bullet walls was really epic.

I liked using the ball to beat up enemies, the shooting was pretty tough but I managed to escape cyan prison! Good stuff!

This is a really cool concept! I like how the ball and chain doubles as both an offensive and defensive option AND has an impact on your mobility. Very cool! The graphics are simple but they still do a good job of conveying key gameplay elements. I would love to see some audio added, but I know that sometimes the time constraints for the jam can make this difficult. All in all, great job!

I loved the mechanics for this! It was very fun to play.

That was amazing! I still havent escaped but damn i am loving this shapely elegant puzzle dungeon.

Pinacle of programmer art. Gorgeous.

I personally very much enjoy the use of the colour cyan. An underappreciated, if very abrasive hue. I found the game play very tricky to get a hang of (leaving me with a very low success probability) and I did not enjoy going back to the beginning when I died. A curious and interesting little game.
