Not easy to play but an interesting game.

Was a little unclear how to win a round, but I had fun bouncing around!

Interesting mechanic! I had some pretty severe framerate issues unfortunately, but I enjoyed how the combat worked.

I really like the physics in this game and the idea is quite good, but I personally don't understand the number values or the goal. I mean there are all very low numbers around so you only ever lose this game eventually, right?

I would really love some audio or feedback when getting hit in this game, it feels quite empty. I also don't really see the connection to the theme as much, since you start the game with 100 points and it only decreases? Or is the 'nothing' part the fact that there are no orbs attached? I don't really understand.

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, we wanted the player to have less health at start to stick to the theme (so you have no health and no orbs attached when starting), but we needed a few other mechanics to make this playable.

Good point on the visual and audio feedback when getting hit. We'll probably include this in a post LD version.
