Not sure if I'm just rubbish but I couldn't get past 23 seconds no mater how hard I tried 🤣 Fun little game! It made me want to keep trying!! I liked the way the menu swings in, a nice little touch. The environment is nice also :)

Just a small thing, the quit button didnt work for me and I had to alt+f4. Not a big deal just letting you know 😊

Good job!!!!

The concept is great and nice looking but the game is way too easy, you just need to have high sensibility and shake on the top of the jar. There is also a bug that make hammer stuck in on top of the cylinder. The game is still quite fun the first minutes but need more challenge and feature to not being annoying

good timekiller! it might be better to replace the cylinder with a shield)

Love the visuals you've gone for on this game, the very clean and post-processed look is an effective contrast for the physics-gamey silliness of the gameplay. Nothing quite like watching tons of hammers and soccer balls fly out of nowhere.

On another note, the game is really hard! I like it as a challenge kind of thing, but I might suggest making it ramp up a bit slower over time. My high score is only 21 seconds.

Great job~

@shugor thanks for your comments!

Yes you are not the first to say that on the difficulty, it seems a little too hard, sorry ^^

nice submission which could easily become a mobile game. Really missing sound as it would have improved the game massively. Anyway, nice graphics and execution of mechanics. Couldn't get the Quit button to work.

Good job on your entry! The concept and simple, fun and it looks nice! It is as other people have said, quite challenging.

I do have a few suggestions that I hope are helpful: - When you block an object at the moment it looks like the velocity just drops to 0. I think it would funner to have them bounce off rather than just stopping. It would make both the game play and visual feedback more entertaining. - Maybe take into account the velocity of the object that hits the jar to determine if it breaks? Right now any tiny tap from anything plays the cracked or broken sequence.

There were a few jank moments where it felt like I couldn't stop the items from hitting the jar, but otherwise it was a fun little game. Nice work!

Good lord! That was very hard to control, and there were way too many objects to possibly block! I would adjust the amount of objects to start a lot lower at least. Really interesting concept though!
