It's like hardcore soccer for parkourists, very cool!

Hard doesn't even begin to describe this game~ It takes some time to get used to what each kick does, and it doesn't fully explain that you can hold a direction and kick to change how it flies! In fact, I don't think I've used the down kick yet, if there is one.... Still managed to finish the game, though! It has a lot of promise as a puzzle or action game, and the unique way you handle ball and player collisions is pretty innovative! Great entry!

Cool concept and very challenging gameplay. I'd say the difficulty curve seems slightly uneven though, and its not very intuitive to have multiple controls for different powered kicks.

This game is really interesting. I like the way that your ball interacts with the environment in different ways than you do. It forces you to think of the level in two different ways at once. My main complaint would be how many kicks there are. The game would be a lot simpler if there was just one heavy kick and one light kick. Maybe three kicks would be fine, but 4 is a bit much to keep track of. That certainly didn't ruin my enjoyment, as the game was really fun and the puzzles kept offering new twists on the same few mechanics. The visuals are also nice and the kicking sound effect is very impactful. All in all, this is a really innovative entry. Nice work!
