Super fun entry! I love the design of the little blocks that try to get you, they are so cute! The main gameplay loop is also fun, provides good variety between runs. Overall really fun submission!

thanks to @subham for doing most of the scripting!!!

This is a really cool spin on the horde survival/bullet hell and breakout genres! It was pretty fun, but the music didn't really go anywhere. A good workaround for this is by basically cheating by add other instruments/loops that line up with the other loops as the level increases to match the intensity of the gameplay, a sort of dynamic music. They don't even need to be super long loops to be interesting, just a bit of variation to break up the monotony. I tried this in my game, and I've been getting some actually positive reviews about my music this jam as opposed to pretty much every game I made in the past having objectively really repetitive and bad music. Other than that, the idea is really creative and I enjoyed it a lot!
Edit: I'm glad you decided to submit this, even in its unfinished state. In the wise, probably paraphrased, words of someone on the Discord; "At the end of the day, you made something, and that's pretty jamn cool." I'm excited to see where this goes!
I like this idea, and the execution is done pretty well! The music looping is a tad bit annoying but I like hitting the balls with the side of the paddle. It makes me feel cool.
pretty solid game! the sounds do feel a bit repetitive when played for longer sessions, other than that goodjob!
I liked the idea of it being a top down Pong like game, that made it a really cool game mechanic and very interesting!
Great foundation for a game jam game
Pretty cool game. I found that it was really easy to beat it by just getting 2-3 additional reflectors and then just rotating them in a small circle around the player so that it would rotate really fast , basically making the player immortal. It would be nice if the audio was a little more varied. All in all , good work!
Gameplay was fun although a bit unbalanced and repeatative
Overall the visuals and physics felt polish but the game felt short
The music is alright ad video pitch is good , GG's
Really good idea! The game could've been expanded on, yeah, but you got a good foundation. The main msuic should've been more than just one beat lol.
Interesting concept, I don't see how it fits the theme however, other than that it's really simple and I the physics are a bit awkward.
The idea of mizing breakout with a roguelike is very fun. Actually I thought it was pretty fun that it had a bulltet hell like appeal as well. I do wish there was more content but that does speak to the fact that this left a good impression.
Reflecting balls into enemies is fun. Wish there was more content and you were able to finish
The audio gets grating fast, the hp is basically never worth it, and the xp cost scales really fast. great potential, but bad execution
This game has potential, especially with it's interesting take on the survivors-like genre. The audio and the lack of variation are the only weak points to this game. I wish there were sound effects in this game, it would help a lot.
