Very nice game! One of my favorites of this jam currently. Nice idea, simple and smooth movement, maybe some music and it might be perfect :D

Very nice game! One of my favorites of this jam currently. Nice idea, simple and smooth movement, maybe some music and it might be perfect :D
Simple premise but it really works.
Addictive and the graphics were gorgeous. I'll go back and play this one more!
by far the best playing and best looking game i played sofar. the only thing missing is a nice music tune to listen to while playing.
A good and polished entry. However, I found a little weird that you need to move your mouse during shot to give it the good angle.
一如既往的赞啊画面效果，就是手残党打不死大boss，LOL.
Smoooth. I liked how both dodging and counter-attacking are skill based since you have to aim with mouse at the time of hit. It's very enjoyable to hit multiple balls at once and basically everything is enjoyable in this game. :smile: The one thing I would consider is expanding map, because it felt a bit cramped with more enemies. But it adds to the suspension I guess.
A very good job on the entry, good luck!
Loved it! Basically a very unfair version of dodge ball.
I think a more "tennis-y" aesthetic could have helped reinforce the racket-swinging mechanic, but for 48 hours this is really really great.
Simple and really fun. This game is fantastic to look at and to play. The game is as smooth as butter. Just wished there was some music to go over the game and maybe a way to get extra lives. Otherwise, great job!
Agree with you，i just didn't have enough time to design the mechanic,maybe i will try it someday,thanks!
wow, again! really great art style! Simple mechanism but really funny, some comment above said there is a boss, can you tell when it appears? my best score is 280 only but I would like to try to get to the boss!
@GoldRanger haha，the boss will appear at 60 seconds，and here is a trick，you can move your mouse in your target's direction,so that the bullet will fly to your target
Fantastic game! I don't know what to say. Everything is perfect. It is so impressive that someone can make a game in 2 days like that. This is a game that could sell for $9.99 on Steam. It feels so smooth and polished. My favorite one so far!
Great idea, fantastic style, lots of fun!
fun game! looks really good, runs smooth. at first I thought i was trying to defend the three heart containers, because they're objects in the court. maybe just keeping those in the UI would be clearer, but anyway, really tiny detail. great job!
@toboggan Haha，maybe defending the three heart containers is a good idea！
@JeffChen true! feels like it would be harder? it works either way. :)
Okay, I'm a huge sucker for the TRON neon aesthetic so that's what first drew me in, but even aside from that this is a great game. Clever idea, challenging to play, and well polished. Nice work!
Looks Great and really Fun! It's like an Action Block Breaker. 另外 活捉Jeff(逃
Great Game. I like the Graphics.
Cool game, I like the graphics a lot. The gameplay is ok but I think it would be a lot better if you controlled the little guy with WASD or maybe be able to adjust the sensitivity.
I think we have a winner. I gave all 5 stars is is a better game then some games that I pay for. This is just AMAZING. realy good job, hope you win.
Epic game :) ! The sound effects are really juicy and satisfying to listen too ! Great 3D art and fluid player controls and animations ! Seriously it felt awesome moving about the scene shooting back glowing tennis balls at these squishy enemies !
i find a way to see the boss,not kill first enemy,and wait 60s,boss will appear，手残党 can only use this method to see boss.very nice game and idea
Those graphics looked so cool, could add some neon lights as well! But I think you should be able to move with WASD
Really sweet TRON flashbacks. Great stuff, though default mouse sensitivity was a bit too high.
Those graphics are amazing! It's pretty boring without any music, though. Also don't really agree with the hitboxes of the bullets, kept getting hit while still shooting it back at the same time. The screenshake is also a bit too much.
@Kirill Nepomnyaschiy Yeah，i agree with you,i really should add a sensitivity option
Hi, fellow bullethell + racquet-game player (I got bullethell + squash 😜).
The look of this one is amazing - especially the lighting seems magnificent and the UI is a joy to look at. IMO the controls hold it back from greatness from being much more fun. Normal arrow movement + mouse aim would probably be nicer.
Nice! The vibe of the game overall is great! Great concept and love the style of it!
I love this mixe, the graph and the mechanics, even if it's could be interesting to do forehand move and backhand move according to the mouse buttons.
Graphics, presentation and juice are phenomenal. Controls are a little strange - the mouse feels almost quantized somehow, and I think that gets in the way of the flow a bit for me. But fun!
Clever idea! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_9PaAd0SRA
really stressing for me but boncy animation +5 ;)
Eye catching graphics, pretty hard to handle. Nice job :)
Cool idea but I had a lot of difficulty aiming. Not really sure how you're supposed to do it to be honest...
Great fun nice work, nicely challenging!! Love the visual styling! Check ours too https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/mechasnek :)
great job!
Really neat graphics, but I found the gameplay got a bit repetitive after a short while - would love too see this expanded further.
Simple but awesome game, very nice!
Beautiful game, lacks a little in sound design, but with great polish, I would buy a retail version of this easily
I love how the player moves, it’s like a jelly XD The art style is amazing, simple but it works awesome, and the gameplay is fun. The only thing it needs is some music. Good job!
There are a lot of nice litle graphical touches in this. I had a bit of a problem trying to aim my hits, but nice work here.
Lost count how many times I played. High score: 1350. Almost crapped my pants the first time the timer ran out. Great style. Very nice work!
Very intuitive controls
Really love how the game looks, the game play is solid save for the "aiming" which takes a bit to get used to but over all a solid entry, really cool game, congrats :D.
Looks good and is nicely polished. Aiming was a bit tricky and I think the difficulty curve could have been smoother, like starting with slower projectiles.
WOW! Amazing graphics and idea. Please comment and rate my game? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/platscii
Nice game! Amazing graphics and animations. It could use a little music, but overall very fun game. Congrats.
@@jupiter-hadley Thanks for the video!
Finally, I am a non-violent Jedi Master! I have achieved great- what? I died? Brilliant game, really fun with smooth controls, would've liked a backhand hit though XD
Very neat, polished little game! Well fekking done!
Great graphic and gameplay!
Overall: Very addictive game! would love to play this with a coop friend. Good work on graphics and lights especially. Thanks.
Very clean looking, great polish!
No more words. Perfect!
Cool visuals, man! Gameplay has one problem - laggy reflects. Every time I attack with my rocket I have no idea where the balls flying. Sometimes game plays very fine and I have a lot of fun... sometimes it become stupidly becase all shoit missed =(
Anyway, nice concept and thanks for 10 minutes of fun. It was very cool for me =)
Fun game and fun concept mashup! Reminds me of some mobile rpg style pinball mashups!

This entry has a crazy level of polish! I was expecting it to be a jam entry when I found it on itch but for a compo entry it's impressive.
I really enjoyed the lighting and aesthetics of the game, very cool. The concept is simple and I like it. Wish I could move with WASD/ARROWS as it was challenging for me to move with mouse and click. Other than that, solid entry
There are some lovely game feel elements to this game. Super polished for a jam game. Well done!
Check out my team's entry if you have the time to play and rate! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/check-please
Awesome visuals, gameplay feels nice, very well done!
Very polished game, but the gameplay needs improvement. The enemies start shooting before even touching the ground, wich is very misleading. Also, the bullets are too fast and too few call this game a bullet hell. I got disappointed looking for thousands of these gorgeous bullets :P
edit: Maybe i simply didn't play enough to get to the "hellish" part, but you should get your public's attention at the beggining of the experience!
Hope you guys expand it, i see promise!
Very very nice game, awesomes visual and concept. The mechanics could use tweaking and improvements like tracking where the player is and shooting more frequently, but overall, the shaderwork and particles are gorgeous,
additional: Also, background music would set the mood of the game more
A very satisfying game both in its simple core mechanics and stunning use of light which reminds us that sometimes your game do not need to like rendered on the Fox Engine in order to be fantastic.
Given the way enemies were eliminated during the game, I adventure myself to say that this was indeed a combinations genres as described in the game's description: Bullet Hell, Tennis and Block Breaker.
The explanation of the controls were put inside the game, which was kind of surprise given the quantity of titles for this LDJAM 41 tends to leave this aspect of their games outside the feature list or "hidden" behind a "help" button or YouTube video showcasing game play.

@aszu Thanks very much!I think i didn't work hard enough to make it more like a bullet-hell game,LOL.
The design is very well done, kick the ball and kill is very satisfying! The graphics are nice and minimalist, that tron's look like... fits well:3 However this game needs music, a game like that with electronic music of the 80's or something that make you come up would have been awesome! Great job!
I like tennis, I like bullet hells >I like your game :)
The game is really cool, the gameplay is nice and fun, with the character movement, etc... ). But I found it just needed a little piece of music in the background. anyway, great game :)
Love the neon artstyle :D
Great game ! Well balanced, there's room for the gamer's improvement, the controls are pretty simple and instinctives, the graphics are appealing. Nice job !
Nice. I think adding a backhand shot would be nice. A bouncing ball could be good also to make multiple kills in one shoot. I think this simple things could improve the rythm.
[My game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/engine-in-shadow)
Great game with amazing graphics! Keep up the good work!
Beautiful aesthetic! And really tight, intuitive controls with well designed hit feedback and projectile behaviour. Lack of music really dampened the experience for me though. Something low-key and pulsing would have been ideal - particularly if enemy shots were timed with it. Otherwise fantastic entry, nice work!
no doubt, this game really amazing! Love your work! :heart:
I'd love to try it, but I can't unpack it neither from Linux nor from Windows. Could you add a zip archive? 😬
Very fun game with nice visuals. The controls felt responsive and tight and hitting the bullets back felt intuitive and good. The only thing missing was music to heighten the game even more.
Could do with some fleshing out (joypad controls, special shots, music, etc.), but what you have is a fun and really shiny looking game :)
@dodoita I uploaded a .zip ,maybe that can solve the problem
Visuals are well done. Especially the effect when you hit the ball (stretching the ball + screen shake + particle effect) is quality stuff. I felt it was a little difficult to aim the return shots. Excellent compo entry.
So addicting!! I couldn't stop playing!!!
MAN this is so much fun. I got to as high as 4340 and it gets so crazy! I loved it when it becomes like a bullet hell, it's a bit dry before you get to that stage though. But it's a very good game and it actually would work so well on the mobile with a little bit of autonomy added in. Great work!
Really impressive game! Graphically this is awesome, and the game itself is well balanced, I am not really good at video game but I could go to a decent score without spending so much time, and it was fun even when dying.
This is really good!
that gets hard very fast, but I really like the dark but also kinda fun flair, the animations really add to that
A well-done Compo game : Nice concept, short on paper but addictive and well-done enough to keep you playing, nice graphs and fx, no, really, you sir will surely have a very good ranking :) gg !
Saw this on Jupi's channel and had to come over to play. Wonderful entry!
Love the gameplay simplicity, and the visuals are top notch! That neon aesthetic reminds me puppygames production. Good game, well done!
Wow, my new favorite game in compo ! Incredible 2 days one-man work, I love every bits of it, especially the feeling and the bouciness. I loved your last LD entry and was not disapointed by the one, great mashup and real fun :)
@JeffChen Thank you for uploading a zip. I think the gameplay is cool and fun, the animations and the graphics look good and the overall feeling is very satisfing. The flaws imho are the rakcet hitbox (which I personally did not find consistent, but that may be subjective) and the lack of music. But overall really good game, impressive considering it was made in a compo!
The game looks great, great effect and gimmicks. The opponents and the player are well animated. Unfortunately, the game on my old machine jerked extremely that prevents me from enjoying the game in all moves. Keep up the great work!!
BEST ENTRY SO FAR!!! I don't even know what to say... this game is incredible for a jam.
@puppetmaster Thanks for playing!If your fps is too low,maybe youcan try press esc key,here are some graphic options,that will help a little
Isn't it great what bloom and lighting can do for a fun concept? :D
@ted Right,haha
Wow wow wow, very nice game, I love the style, your game is realy polished. The gameplay is very fun, congratulation ! The boss is very cool to fight ! Feel free to look and vote for our entry: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/way-out
Hey there, I think this game is really fun. The graphics are great, the sounds are good, and the gameplay is fun. I think you could make the enemies blink before they shoot, that way the player could have another half a second to prepare before hitting the shots back, also you could make the players swing a little more slower to give them a bigger margin of error. But it is really cool. Good Job!!
Very nice game, good luck on the jam!
Very fun and well done the game. I missed the balls bouncing off the wall, killing the opponents or even the player. Congratulations on the game.
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.

I like the neon style, and I feel a lack of stimulating music. Its really good.
