Cute little game! The physics feel really satisfying, it's fun to zoom around and knock the bullets away. Music is super cool too! Just a heads up, the WASD controls aren't right. `D` moves you down. Overall, fun entry! Good job!

This is a really cool game! The movement and combat are snappy as hell and super satisfying, and the gameplay is addictive. I especially like that you can bounce the bullets into the carrot, because it forces you to think about your moves and be clever with how you deflect things. I could definitely see some challenging puzzles made with these basic mechanics.

Super fun and absolutely gorgeous! Great music as well. I love the slow down when using the space bar attack.

Great combination of 2D and 3D to create a very nice art style. Satisfying controls, easy and fun to play. Awesome game :)

Great art and satisfying gameplay. Although I think WASD is mapped wrong.

I like the concept, and the art is really good. But with no score counter or win state, the game can get kinda boring. Also, I think that adding a juicy sound effect to swinging the bat would be an awesome addition.

Pretty good, lots of polish, and I really love the art style, only wish enemies came in waves

Cool art style! I adore the design of the snails :smile: Its only a bit annoying then the snails get out of the viewport and they don't get back.

One thing about the controls: I also noticed the WASD issue, but arrow keys where fine. I tried the mouse controls, but for my intuition they are inverted. Like I would expect to move up when I move the mouse down and release. But maybe this is just because I played angry birds :sweat_smile: But because of the other control options this was no problem for me.

Nice one ! I saw it on twitter a couple of time and was really curious to play it, it's always inspiring to play other construct game, and I was not disapointed ! I really liked the mouvements, it was really fun and juicy to bounce around kicking the bubbles around me ! And the art is gorgeous ! Great job !

Really great graphics! Took a second to understand I was "hitting" the bullets with the area around me but once I did it was pretty neat. Might have been a little too much camera movement and shake for me.

Wow! :smiley:

I really like the mechanics, the graphics are good and the game felt great to play. I think it would be cool if you could destroy the alien snails by bouncing back their bullets.

Overall, a fun game! :rocket:

How to did it for 48 hours? It's impossible. Great art, great gameplay. And one more respect for that rabbit have to defend his carrot.

The visuals are stunning, even beyond the thought that this was made in 48 hours by a single person who did everything else as well. Extremely well done!

The music, art and theme of the game are all nicely suited for each other too, which I appreciate. Super well done!

Hey Loic, nice entry!
It was a bit confusing to me to understand how the game worked at first, if there were a win condition or not, or how I'd interact with the game e.g. How does my dash affects the ball, what is the purpose of the space button etc.

I love the art but you already know that :P

My advice would be working on the sign and feedbacks part of the game for future entries (:
Here's a cool article if you want to take a look <https://gdkeys.com/keys-signs-feedback/>

hey @nyunesu ! Thanks for playing , your feedbacks and the link I will read that for sure :). I ve lost lot of time on music on this entry, I am not musician, I was a bit confident on the gameplay and camera part aha and finally miss some time to finish it well.

Maybe I ll rework it for a commercial version if I found something enough casual in the controls and pacing.
