Dig the soundtrack, it's so good. The mouse controls for the shooting are a bit odd. The cube looks cool. Nice and simple game!

good job :) interesting approach to stopping balls
Very nice game, but for some reason it was easier for me to just not shoot at all.
Really great soundtrack and the perfect physics game. Makes up what it lacks in gameplay complexety with just pure fun. And the online scoreboard is a really nice touch.
Love the music! :)
Music is really cool!!!
Good job guy! The music is really cool!
When I think I might make it this time BAAAAAM!!!! a little green ball come out of nowhere.
Simple although very fun and nice
The idea is simple and the art not really good but I play it during a surprising amount of time so I think it's cool! :)
I got an old arcade vibe while playing, great stuff!)
Awesome, loved the music and the gameplay was a lot of fun! I didn't get anywhere close to those high scores though...
I've modified so as to one highscore per person so there're more chances for everyone! @sassykeys you're 8th!
Despite its simplicity this is a very fun game you made there! I liked the music and the sound effects, although the latter could be toned down a little bit in my opinion. Also, it would've helped a lot if you could shoot balls more precisely in front of you to keep immediate threats away better. That way the game would be a little less chaotic and feel a bit more fair and controllable I think.
Physics games are always fun! I got around 3000 points and that was after like 10 tries. I find it a bit too hard to dodge the green balls as they have a very high velocity and are almost not visible until they hit you. Other than that its a funny thing and fits the theme quite nicely.
Interesting! It took me a until the second game to realize that the balls I was firing were coming from the center of the screen, not from the cube itself. It felt a little off until I realized that.
Graphics were simple but worked. Gameplay was smooth. I noticed after awhile if I shot too many times it would start to back up and then my own attacks would start making their way back to me. That is a neat little emergent gameplay thing.
This is great! The music is awesome and I enjoy the simplicity of the gameplay. I would prefer if the shooting came from the cube rather than a fixed point, but it does make for a different strategy. Very cool physics game!
A super simple game idea that is pretty fun to play. The music and visual style is really good, and fits the game very well. The gameplay is okay, but I would have liked if there was a bit more to do. Overall is this a fun little jam game.
Cool idea. Controls work nicely. Music went well with the game. Game was frustrating as hell. I played it at least a couple dozen times before i gave up. I couldn't get passed the 800 mark. I have no idea how people were getting a few thousand. Good game.
Awesome job, I had a fun time playing this. I like the music accompanying the game and the explosive wave that triggers when you level up is done really well, the game feel on it is great. I wish when you click to shoot the balls that they come from the screen moving straight at the spot you clicked rather than from one fixed point and angled towards the cursor. But it was a neat little arcade game and the leaderboard is cool. As others have said you definitely get shot out of nowhere with the small green balls and then go flying, so that is unfortunate but it adds to the challenge! Awesome job overall and congrats on submitting!
A little disappointed with the theme adaptation, I mean "Keep the cube alive" can be a lot of funny ideas :). By the way the game is classical, but fun and with a good ambiance (graph + music + feeling), I'm in the top 10 (for the moment). Suggestion: put the high score in-game, while playing, it will be more stressful for the player to keep alive :)
Great game! It was a blast to play and the music made it feel even more intense! I also found that shooting from the center of the screen felt odd. It would have made the shooting aspect pointless if not for the ability to just shoot out massive amounts in the hopes that they block something. Those little green suckers constantly kept me on my toes. 3 thumbs up from me!
I will now forever hate tennis balls. I played it for quite a while and got a little addicted. Got 3rd highest score which I'm happy about. This game is both the most randomly infuriating and fun game I've played this LD. I found the very start the hardest part. Maybe 1 in 5 games would I get past a few rounds because the balls would just come flying at you and there's nothing you could do about it. I saw others mentions the click controls and I agree, but it still works.
Funny game, the sound is really good. Good idea for the high score. But I am not sure if my action really affect my game.
Good job
