Nice clear art. Z and X felt odd as controls. Couldn't get 2nd football up to the coin. Simple and clear tutorial.

#### Art was nice, and I enjoyed the game & the cake! :grinning:

However it needs to be more clear how to kick football to different directions,
because I struggled at the first time it needed to be used.

There are a couple of rough edges here and there but I loved this entry. It's really fun and has a massive amount of content. There were some challenges that got kinda frustrating but overall it was really fun. Reminded me of HackyZack, which has a similar mechanic.

One tiny change that I think would remove a lot of frustration is to respawn in the same room you die. Well done! Had a great time.

Fun little concept and cute overall aesthetic. Controlling the ball was a little bit frustrating at times.

Fun concept.
That's unfortunate i couldn't make the invisble red platfoms appear in the 3rd screen even after activating the green thing under the ground :/
The ball is a bit difficult to control. I think diagonal shoot could be great an maybe slow the ball when it's close to the player inorder to help him to make better move. I think i would like a game like this ;)

Very nice game, played through the whole thing and was very surprised by the amount of content you made, I like the metroid vania aspect and the ball puzzles. Graphics are very nice too, the only thing this game is lacking is some environmental music .

I got the same problem, the red blocks didn't appear. The ball is tricky to control, but it's not too hard. Otherwise I liked the game, especially the style!

@visumecadroide @HolyBlackCat The red blocks don't appear until later in the game. Backtracking a bit might reveal a way to progress. If you get stuck there's a handy complete game play video by Game Jam Curator here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTgOVYHFXLo

Oh! I didn't realized in the beginning it was destroyable blocks !
Another thing that made me not going to the earlier levels is that a new ball is generated in each room so i assumed each room puzzle was related to the ball the game generated for me.
In any case, good work!

This is a really fun game. The controls feel polished and the metroidvania aspect is great. The theme is slightly lacking, but still fun to kick the ball around. There's some areas where the difficulty spikes randomly. But overall a good time.

Well thats a really nice entry! The idea is clever and the levels are nicely designed! The mechanics work great, even though i was playing on my keyboard. Keep it up!
