Wow! This is such an enjoyable game! The game loop is similar to Brotato with levels and an item shop after each wave, but rolling balls around to smash insects make it feel more unique. I added so many bouncy pads that my turn never ends now haha. Broken but fun!

I could submit on time since I had know late My bad ! But I loved yours better for this jam expectations

this game is over the expectation seeing other entries , the thing is that rather than exterpolating the idea and conept IK you know coding/gameconcept/gameprogramming/gamemechanism very well yet you focused  on other element which made it fit the 15min demo criteria, I think you heared it before. but mechanics and idea still lags I didn't saw something that pushes me to a battle ,kind of sattisfactory only. if that the goal its okay or else you will have to rewire your code (wrost part for me) , you can definately add bigger crabs , centre bounce , candy to attract insects. if its  made in 3days then its worth writing review else you need to speed up , their is  a lot more competition in publishing. kudos you passed 15min demo test best luck for 3months if you want to make it a commercial

Thank you for the feedback! it means a lot. I had a lot more ideas but couldn't make it in time so I let it go. After the jam I will update it for sure. There is no goal right now, you are right. I am planing to expand the map size when play reaches some levels and I will add map size based enemies. We will start small but we will go way much bigger. Currently game is so easy every run is impossible to lose. I will make sure it doesn't go infinite so player will eventually lose and leaderboard will mean something.

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you liked it. Your game might actually be one of the first ones I played in this jam! The shaders in your game look amazing and have a lot of potential. While playing, I thought to myself: it would be 10x better with sound; the lack of audio feels like the biggest missing piece.

Other than that, it would be amazing if you informed the player at the end of each wave and offered 3 upgrade choices. For example, a turret that shoots at balls, or a passive skill that expands our area, etc. I think these would make the game so much better. Having a brief red vignette effect on the screen, along with a subtle screenshake and sound effect whenever the player takes damage would be awesome too. Also, as waves progress, increasing the enemy count more, increasing the enemy health, and adding different enemy types, combined with a leaderboard would really take the experience to the next level!

Really fun to play. I think the endgame at 3x speed gave me brain damage, I loved that! 

I guess the game could use some better enemy variety, but it's a game jam, so whatever. 

Great job!

Suuuuper addicting. Loved this game and the overall genre! As others have said, I'm getting stuck perpetually because of the bounce pads, but it is satisfying to see all the bugs get crushed.

Reached invinciball, destroyed ants for like 30 minutes, and the leaderboard said I only killed 800. 0/10 worst game ever.

Seriously it's great ! I'd play that on mobile all day :D Just needs some balancing at some point before it gets absolutely broken. Had a great time ! Cheers
