Nice idea, though I'm not a big fan of getting punished for doing bad. Maybe it'd work better if you grow for doing well instead.

@celdur Thanks for your feedback... I though if I made the Character bigger for doing well then it would be too resembling with the snake game.

Fun little game but the controls feel really slippery and I would rather the controls be snappy and responsive because I found it really hard to actually dodge the bad guys which made the game less fun and lowered the skill level.

@moo Thanks for your feedback. I was wondering whether I should make the controls snappy or slippery, when I made this game. But I have now got my mistake and will remember this while making my future games..

Fun game! I like the music. And I liked the controls! The enemy movement is amusing, they always seem to go to the worst place and you always seem to be narrowly avoiding them.

It did take me a wile to realise you had to click the screen to play! I would have made the play button work by pressing SPACE too!

Nice!

Nice game! Well Done!

Good game, 'twas really difficulty to dodge after 3 balls, maybe add a positive feedback loop like, colliding with an enemy ball will destroy that ball or add a button to split your ball so you can control multiple balls

still, 'twas a really good game and I had fun playing it, even though controls was slippery it added some difficulty to the game

Good job!!!

@vamflax Thanks for pointing that I could have made the game start with a push of space-bar... I think I can do some small bug fixes after the jam is over is not so?

@adam-saudagar Thanks for your feedback. The features you said were planned by me to be added but I could not add them because of the shortage of time. It was not too easy to do home works of my new college as well as making this game! But anyways, if I can create a new version of this game then I will obviously add some more features like:- re shrinking the ball, reducing the no. of balls in the arena and some others, And obviously, I will work on the movement to make it better

Really interesting game the concept is very innovating. Keep it up pal !

fs.PNG Nice idea. After I noticed that you gain points only if you are moving, i tried to do few movements to score, but after it has 3 balls in play its a snow ball to death :) Only thing that fell strange to me was the ball movement, it does not seem too fast responsive, its like the ball is always sliping. Good job!

This is a fun little game! The graphics are simple but clean and do the trick. I enjoy the retro audio. It's challenging and fits the theme. I wish the control was a bit tighter especially because you have to move to earn points. Might be interesting if rather than the player getting bigger, the enemy that strikes you gets bigger. Either way I enjoyed playing. Nice submission!

@balance686 Thank you for your feedback.. Almost everyone is telling me to change the contrpls... Yes I must give it a shot..

Challenging game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/F8Gtbi3loPc
