The graphics are really great, and the game concept is fairly solid (feels like typical mobile puzzle game), I love how all the patterns/colours are semi randomized. The only thing is maybe having an indicator of shooting angle, and shorten the time in between attempts (By ALOT, think Super Meat Boy).
Really simple but amazingly powerful! Love how you managed to make a good aesthetic with colors and sounds.
Great job!
Nice game, man the skull one is really hard :D
Very nice little puzzle game. Some of the puzzles I had to resort to basically shooting in random directions, but for the most part it was pretty good.
Music and sound effects are very fitting.
Simple mechanics really great experience!
I would love to play it in my mobile, really nice game feel and graphics.
Nice work! Great art style.
As a critic, I think that the flow of the game is a little bit slow. Maybe, a faster restart level should be better.
Appealing Graphics
So beautiful designed.
I like the game concept, i really enjoyed playing it! ++
Very good game! Simple, but the mechanic is very polished. I also like a loot the art and the music, simple but effective. A touch version would be great, but i think you already had that in mind. Good work!
The music and sound effects are great. I also love the visual design!
Awesome work :)
I love it.
Hey guys! Right now we're working on a functional Android .apk for you guys to enjoy in your mobile phones.
Will keep you updated!
It was fun to play. Maybe some later levels are a little too hard, but it's a very good entry.
Nice work! Really solid puzzles!
Enhorabuena!
Oh boy, is han amazing game !
I love those cool games with simple but damn charming graphics! That's literally the most pleasant game I've played regarding LD #37 so far!
Graphics are great! Sounds are great! The level design is also very good. Some levels feel impossible to complete but you somehow eventually do it.
Great Job!
wow... this is one of the best LD games i played so far. But i think you did not cover theme properly...
Very simple, very good. :)
Level 14 is my personal record.
I really liked it :) The idea is great and the graphics fit really well. good job!
Really nice all round. I was a little concerned that passing a level would be too determined by random chance but there was actually a fair amount of problem solving to be had.
I love the idea! I want to play in my mobile! (I get stuck in the level 25 ~~)
Really amazing game! I could sit and play for hours and not get upset that I can't get past a level just because of the visuals and music.

Check the itch.io page, there's an Android version that we just uploaded a few minutes ago!
Kind of artwork io like to see more of... it is simple and fits perfect to the genre. I liked to play this. saved this to my favs :)
Good art and fun to play around with for a while, but I do feel it's gets a bit too random at some point. It's hard to figure out what you did wrong or how you can do it better after a missed shot.
some nitpicky things:
-the tutorial told me to aim starting from the ball, but you don't really have to. was confusing for a bit because it didn't calculate the angle from the center of the ball which I expected.
-the fades for restart, next level and all are really slow. especcialy with the restart it just takes too long
Really nice graphics. Lots of good levels and challenge mode was a good idea
This game was super fun. Please make more!
That was solid puzzle game. Aesthetics and sounds were spot on for this type of game. Also the mechanics are really solid.
Nice puzzle game
Really cool mechanics, great game! Couldn't get past level 15 though. When levels get too complicated, it just comes to pure luck, which is sad IMO. I really liked the first challenges though! And the audio was great, it reminded me of Nobuo Uematsu's FFX underwater theme :)
Very solid entry. You were able to fit a large amount of polish in to such a short amount of time.
Sometimes, the simpler ideas are the best ones.
Very neat and fun ! Liked it. Just not so fond of the fonts and the background (the gradient one).
That was really good fun! thank you for the recommendation. I got stuck on level 24 but really enjoyed the game. Nice mood and audio.
Lovely feel and tone to the game. Nice work. Not sure how close to the theme it is but it is good fun :)
Really solid puzzle game =)
The only nitpicky thing I feel I need to point out is that the obstacles seems pretty random in the way they work. I can't be sure beforehand where the ball is likely to bounce when it hits them and that seems pretty strange for a puzzle game.
Really liked it though and kinda regret that I didn't try the Android version since that seems like the most fitting way to play this.
Just, wow. I got stuck at level 19 and got back to level 1 by checking the Credits, too bad, but this is really video game ! Not one room though... :)
Very cool. Loved the art and sound. Sorry it took me so long to get back and check your game out! Anyway, excellent work!
Nice entry! The core gameplay mechanic is interesting, it's a very polished experience, and very well-suited to a mobile experience.
The first dozen or so levels kind of felt like they didn't have any design effort put into them ("it's square!", "now it's a pentagon!", "now it's a hexagon!"), but I was happy to find that there were actually a decent number of intentionally-designed levels and new mechanics introduced along the way.
However, I think my main takeaway from having played this is that it doesn't really succeed that well as a puzzle mechanic. Beyond two or three bounces, players can't accurately predict how the ball is going to behave (our entry actually relied on ball-bouncing as well, but we tried to embrace the chaos that comes with it!). Because of this, completing levels rarely felt like solving a puzzle, and more often than not it was just a matter of randomly stumbling into a solution through trial and error.
Please don't take that criticism too harshly though; it's more of an opinion on the viability of the game being taken beyond a prototype than on its quality. It's obvious that an impressive effort went into making this!
The randomized backgrounds were a nice touch. I did find that once I got to more difficult levels, it was hard to refine a route because having the level fade-out and fade-in with different visuals meant you couldn't really use visual landmarks aside from the actual walls, but the effect itself is very appealing.
@Sean Thank you very much for your feedback!Due to tight time constraints,the physics aren't as polished as we wanted. We'll have to improve it in the future.
Great submission! The graphics design and gameplay were very nice.
Really cool! Visuals and sound really created the perfect ambience for the gameplay.
wow I rock at this game, loved the art changing! also level 11 was a pain haha well done! -Tweedle
I spent far more than i thought i would with this game, but level 14 destroyed me! I would definitely play more if the game saved after each level!
I too got stuck on 14, could get all but one wall. Really cool concept. Love the simplicity of it, the clean design. Solid challenge ramp. Cool stuff. :)
Very cool idea! It was hard to tear myself away from the game.
Really nice little mobile puzzle game. It could be released today without more polish, but it looks like you have more planned. Nicely done.
So beautiful!
I got stuck at lvl 14
damn dude that was hardcore,
I've never seen a game like this, if it's your original idea then wow, whoever thought about it is a genius
Awesome experience. Could keep playing it for hours! Even sometimes is a bit hard when for example the figure has a lot of sides.
Great job, I like the idea, the only problem I had was that the progress didn't save, so I gave up in level 13, but still very enjoyable :)
Great submission - fun puzzle game. The graphics design and gameplay were very nice. The main aesthetic reminds me some Kandinsky artworks. Really well done ++
This is very origial Idea, and it will have they casual audience if you will develop game.
I will recommend you to insert some levels where no walls, or something what slows balls or change it angle + teleport in other side of room.
Well done and good luck!
Managed to get up to level 15 but I like the mechanics a lot and the level design fits the theme very well.
This is a simple but really fun game. I really like the gameplay. The graphics and audio matches good together. I like the physics elements of the game a lot. Overall a really fun game to play. Keep it up!
Simple and beautiful. Some levels feel a little bit too hard. One small downside is that your engine doesn't work with Windows high DPI properly (or so it seemed to me), so small parts of the level were outside of the screen.
Nice idea and execution. The sound design is amazing, it makes you want to play more.
The concept is fun but after several levels, I felt it was more based on luck and trial/error than real skill. Some rebounds felt really off too.
But anyway, a great entry, nice work!
Looks nice, but I could not enjoy the game, because of the random results in the more complex levels.
Beautiful game! The puzzles' design is great. This would be a good mobile game.
Looks and feels very polished. I liked the art style a lot, simple but elegant.
Nice to see a great Godot Engine game :) Keep up the good work!
Really fun and addictive! This one's totally a mobile/tablet type of game! Though on PC it also feels so good to play! :P
The soundtrack is also really relaxing and, if you add the kinda minimalistic, but pretty stylish graphics, it completes the relaxing pack! :)
Fun little game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/9I4q6tJ6Ge8
