While the art direction in this is really great, I feel like it hurts the gameplay a little. It's just a bit hard to read the perspective and relationship of the ball compared to the walls and platforms at times. I thought the controls were snappy and the ball behaved in a really intuitive manner. Nice work!

I really like the tron look to your game. It was slightly hard to judge where the platforms really were when shooting, but it was fun!

@pseudohausen You're completely right! I noticed that too, but due to the little time I had I didn't have time to make quality of life adjustments and just had to roll with it (pun intended) ;) Thanks for playing though! I'm glad you somewhat enjoyed it :)

@dragonsbeardgames Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy the visuals ^^ I probably shouldn't have gone for a ortographic view but I couldn't resist the visual eyecandy - you are right, it makes it hard to play! Thanks for playing!

Very pretty and fun game, I can see the speedrunning potential once you've mastered the art of flying by spam-clicking your way to the next checkpoint, very good entry!

That was fun, i really like the consistent art style, as others have said the platforms are a little hard to see and is a little difficult to see the depth variation. Also not sure if it was indented but you can still shoot the ball while in air and you can spam it. Overall nice entry!

Very cool game! Controlls feel nice and the aesthetic is really nice. The perspective and such get a bit tricky from time to time, but that's all part of the design I imagine.

@rongefilet Thanks! I've noticed that too haha! A friend of mine sent over a video of him just spam-clicking to each checkpoint and it was pretty cool. Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed ^^
