Bouncy Ball of Death by Aik

[raw]
made by Aik for LD32 (COMPO)
You are a creepy little girl murdering mushroom soldiers with a bouncing ball of light and death.

WASD or Arrows to move.
Aim with the mouse.
Left-click fires the ball.
Right-click returns it to your hand.


(the bullets don't actually hurt you, but it might be better if you pretend they did?)

Cool little game, was fun to bounce the ball around like with arkanoid, but more difficult. I wouldve liked an extra level though :) Or different level blocks or something. Its really gray now.

Nice idea, but the particles that went after the ball stayed relative to the camera, which was really confusing... You sadly can't die, which is making the game not challenging

Nice concept and quite fun. The controls felt a bit floaty and its sad that their is no end at all (no death and no win either)

When I tried to launch the game I got this error:
"The program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this program."

Nice concept! The physics are a bit wonky, and the game is not really finished, but it's a cool little prototype.

The game is not finished, and yet I had fun playing it. Nice work!

Hey, pretty simple game, but fun enough. The girl's controls were a little weird but I liked how the ball was precise. Took me a while to figure how to pick up the ball again (I thought you had to walk on it after you threw it).

Neat idea. Seems like it was playing in slow mo, with the character's movement and everything else. I was able to patiently go through and eliminate everyone. I think more variety with the enemies and wall bounce physics and you'd be onto something.

While I'm not sure, if you're getting the MSVCP120.dll error you might need this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

You should point out when you have finished the level and definitely make the bullets hurt you, because risk is something that makes a game like yours fun to play.

Pretty weird game :)
I was wondering if something is going to happen after I killed all enemies.. For some reason, that was a creepy moment

I really liked the ball throwing idea which provided me with some fun and made me hope for a second level.
But you really have to work on the controls. It felt like iceskating :)
