Nice game!
Its a fun concept and i loved the particle feedback from hitting/killing enemies.
You could make the orb bounce a little when hitting the walls, so that the game gets a little more chaotic.

A wall bounce would also make longshots more productive. Right now it's hard to justify the risk.
Fun game, fellow Orbean.
Getting quintuple kill streaks off the trampoline. Redefining metagame.
Cool game! It feels very polished for a game jam game. The difficulty curve is pretty high, but it's a nice challenge.
Solid arcade-style game. Nice key binding setup.
Great game! Love the way you handled key binding. Streamlined and easy. Was nice to see an SFML entry :)
I really liked the simplicity and the arcade style gameplay. This was really well designed. Everything form the binding of keys was well designed. The gameplay was very fun aswell as frantic. The music was superb. There isn't really anything bad I can say about this, the graphics were a bit basic but somehow managed to look good . Also, I enjoyed watching you stream the development :)
Very nice game, but i was looking in the source code and i can´t compile some entities, i guess there are some files missing...
Thanks guys!

I just realized I did not save the codeblocks project before committing the source, thanks for the heads up! If you re-checkout the code it should compile fine.
No problem, you are the man!
Have a good new years! (and that was a fast answer).
Really really like it. Want more !
Cool and difficult game. I feel like the ball was little hard to use but it was still fun. The animations are all really smooth, good job!
Great game. The gameplay was a bit tough, but that might be due to my computer's slowdown. I really liked the graphics and audio. I'd love to see you develop this more.
Advice: Change the main screenshot for your game if you want more plays. What's there isn't very appealing when compared to the actual experience.
OK, so the key binding at the start. I LOVE YOU! This is a great, great idea and it really helped me enjoy your game that much more.
AUDIO... you have a ton of it. Ending music, stage music, boss-specific sounds. Good stuff.
The gameplay is very solid and the core mechanic works well. It can get a bit tough and I feel like anything less than a full power shot is useless, but having a gamepad helped me overcome any issues.
Spriting is simple but efficient, particles are great, physics work as you'd hope. Enemy variety, challenge, etc... all good stuff.
Great entry!
@SonnyBone
Thanks for the feedback!
I went ahead and changed the screenshot per your suggestion :)
Great game!!!! minimalism graphics, colours and gameplay are fantastics. good job man
Fun game, great music!
Really great.
A nice mood, and it felt good to destroy the enemies with the orb.
I watched you stream this and it looked like it was going to be so much fun, I'm glad it is! Really enjoyed this, one of my favourite entries so far. Awesome work for 48 hours. :)
The "controls wizzard" is a awesome idea, really makes sure every one can use the controls they like.
Really awesome fun game! Great Job!
Nice game! One of my favorites, loved the use of theme. I included this game in my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/6i2NO94dPrk
This felt great to play.
Mechanically, this is the best entry I've played so far, if a tad bit too hard. I couldn't ever get past stage 2.
Please make a post-compo multiplayer version. This is awesome.
Man that's a bit difficult, very fun though.
One of my favourite games so far, has all the right elements for a fun addicting game. Love the mechanics and the artwork is even charming for quick pixel art! Awesome job Ekun!
Fun to play :)
really nice man.. prob the most fun ive had yet.. feels really polished :)
Really fun game. Nice idea, well implimented, good music and visuals. the veriaty of eniemys is nice and the theme fits perfectly. Well done. Its really hard but thats fine, not alot of testing can be done in the timeframe.
great game for a weekend of time
I like this game very much. It feels very smooth, balanced and polished. It is fun to jump around :) In the beginning I had some problems understanding how the game works, maybe some words about it on the title screen would be great. Nevertheless, this is one of he best entries I played so far.
Nice controls, though a bit difficult. cool mechanic :)
That was really good fun. It feels like one of those games that's really easy to pick up but hard to master. Very well done.
