Prety fun puzzle game.

Shooting two balls at once was an interesting idea, but sadly it went nowhere.

They can bounce against each other, which could have been an interesting solution!

Submitted

Super satisfying and polished I loved it.  Only thing I would do is make it clearer to the player that they can only kill enemies on special bounces because that took me a couple minutes to figure out.

Submitted

Fun game ! The SFX play a big role in how satisfying it is. Maybe the UI of the countdown system could have been implemented better ?

Anyway very solid entry !

Submitted

Simple rules, but very polished. I really like the hint feature.

Submitted

Really good idea indeed! I like that theres often multiple solution to the same puzzle too. very simple yet satisfying design but still has the right amount of difficulty. i wish if we could have like see a ghost of our last attempt, many time is not that i dont know how to solve a puzzle but more like i didnt know how to aim.

Seeing the ghost of your last attempt is a really nice idea, I’ll definitely be testing it out- thank you!

Submitted

Really good idea.  Was a bit tough due to the timer.

Had a unity error when trying to run the browser version.

Very creative interpretation of the theme! The idea is simple but really addictive, and the gameplay loop keeps you wanting to try one more time.

Great work!

Submitted

nice gameplay, and its very polished, good game!

Submitted

Really fun game! Theme implementation is amazing!!

Submitted

Thank goodness for the hints! gg

Submitted

Really fun! Makes you feel really smart when you work out a good plan for the level. Great work! Would like to see a bit of a predictor for your bounces, but i can see how that would also be really hard to balance.

This brought back memories of the old Bounce game I used to play on my Nokia. It was a fun challenge trying to get the ball to hit the target with a limited number of bounces.

Submitted

Ahaha, this was super satisfying! Really nice expansion on the concept also. Way too many cool mechanics! Really liked the level where you just had to bounce a lot. I also solved one of them by bouncing the two balls of each other. Good stuff! ^^

Submitted

I love the theme interpretation, it's super creative and addictive to play. Great work!

Submitted

A really fun game, I see someone else also mentioned the alternate solution on the last level that didn't seem to be accepted but looked correct in going for the middle one first. Overall a very fun and intuitive game.

Submitted

really fun game you did forget to stop r from resetting when u go put ur name still one of my favorite games from the jam so far

Submitted

Very satisfying gameplay. On the last level I had an alternate solution I didn't quite manage to execute, going for the middle guy first. This made the left one quite inconsistent... it seemed like the ball would kind of just phase through the leftmost enemy when I tried to aim it to bounce off the floor right into it. But, besides that minor annoyance, this game was very fun to play. The ice blocks were especially fun to interact with. Great job!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the game! I didn't see that alternate solution on the last level until you commented, after like 5 minutes of trying it finally worked, it was a lot of random guessing though. Also thanks for reporting that bug, it turns out I didn't account for if the ball bounces normally while already overlapping an enemy, the kill shot won't register.
