It was hard to control the player.

Got 330 points on my first try on the KB. The graphics and the sounds are great. The controls take a bit to get used to but work well. This reminds me of a mini game in the Xbox game Fuzion Frenzy back in the day. Very cool.

Took a while to get the hang of it, but good fun once I did. Haven't tried the tilt controls, but got a score of 660 on keyboard.

Awesome! Looks very polished. It was cool how the line could be used offensively and defensively. I would have loved some more powerups or harder enemies over time :)

@zillix We've got the art for "boss events" but didn't have the time to squeeze it in before the deadline. Hope to have it in a post-jam version though.

We'll have to explore the offense vs. defense game play with the trail more!

Took me a little to find out what to do but had plenty of fun after I did! Seems to be an interest game for mobile

Cool theme. I like the music. I just wish there was more of a game to it. Needs a goal.

I feel like it's a game concept I really would have liked, but unfortunately the weird control scheme made it hard to get into and enjoy.

Hard to control, and some instructions would be great ;)
But nice graphics, and pretty fun.

Controls take a short time to get used to. But I actually liked them once I got a hang of them.
Good job on the music and graphics!
