Gameplay felt like basketball on steroids in the year 3000. You have found very creative uses for the head. I wish I could have changed controls so that "Space" would be jump and right mouse click would be slowmotion. Also there could have been some screen effect to know when time was slowed down. Visually and soundwise the game is very pleasing. The head hurting on impact was a nice touch too. Awesome job!

Cool game! Very interesting take on the throwing mechanics. Graphics & music are also awesome!

Tele RaiderI love the idea for this game, maybe it's a bit too hard too fast for my taste... It felt almost like a Kaizo rom hack for the huge amount of precision platforming and aiming, which to me was a bit frustrating...
I love the lil' robot dude, really cool!

Galaxy GripThe art is AMAZING, really like the story images, very impressive on such a short time
The music is AMAZING.
The gameplay is fun and creative.
Movement feels too fast movement when player does not have the ball, maybe tweak it a little bit
There is no feedback when slow mode is on which makes it hard to tell if I accidently set it off or on, consider adding a timer icon or something on the screen.
There is no feedback on submit button so I don't know if it worked or not when I clicked it. And can be clicked twice.
Consider adding a fullscreen button.

Paint, Swipe, QuackThanks for the feedback! I really appreciate the kind words. These are a lot of good points I'm going to write down for if I want to make a post jam version.
I absolutely have to admit I was planning on giving feedback for the submit button and I forgot..
For now you don't have to worry about clicking it too much, your score will only be able to be submitted once each time you get a new score :)
I really loved the head mechanic, and feel like it can lead to some insane optimizations. Great job!

Fat Raccoon Crime`sExtremely polished! The speed mode you enter when you throw your head can be a but difficult to control at times but once you master it you can get some really fast times! The art, sound, and game-play are all amazing! Splendid job! ^^
