This is so much fun to play! So simple, but soooo effective. I love it when they drop the platform <3

Its a nice simple little game, i enjoyed it. I think it could use some kind of a scoring system to make the player more entertained by it. Also you could upload the embedded game directly to itch.io

Love the idea! Very simple and charming presentation, kind of hard to manipulate the ball tho in the direction I want to (when its nearing an edge)

It's really difficult to get an idea this clean and seemingly simple, well done that worked well! I wish you had some sound in there bit either way it was good and nice touch with the arms on the menu

This was a fun little game. Would love to see a timer or some sort of scoring mechanism in it, or maybe a wave-based level system for a sense of progression. The graphics were cute and the overall concept was fun. I know the ball isn't that soft, but I wanted to bring it up to my face gently and rub it on my cheek like a cat and it wouldn't let me. :8ball: :broken_heart: :cry:

Great game. I realy like the interaction in the menu and the gameplay. Also great balance of more bullets in longer play time. It would be great to have a timer or score to see how well the run was. I think it would also benefit the player if you add the instructions in the game (like show at start in background and then fade out) or add it also to itch.io, as I personally most of the time only read the itch.io page description.

@cromo @devundead Score and timer is a great idea! I considered adding it but did not have time. Thanks for feedback!

Hey, not bad at all! It's a little tricky to control the ball's horizontal velocity, and the arms sometimes feel like they move a little slowly. But overall it's a good concept that was executed fairly well. Congrats!
