The game mechanic itself is pretty fun, the AI could use a bit of work they very often don't go for the ball even when its just sitting still in the middle. And when you get eliminated yourself watching the AI's barely play can be a bit not fun.

The physics on the balls are kind of crazy but in a fun way they made the game very exciting.

Good job!

As far as I know : this is the first dungeon crawler / dodge ball. Fun idea, well done !

A don't understand how this is a dungeon crawler, but dodge ball this certainly is :D

The idea was fun, but the AI could have been a little faster when you die.

the dodgeball aspect of this game was really fun I liked it a lot ! only thing is I wish you had some music playing during the game or a sound for the dodgeball other than that a great dungeon dodgeball experience

This is such a cool idea for a game! I really love the innovation with this. It would be so cool to see it developed further.

An issue I found with the game is that it doesn't matter who threw a ball, it can still completely wreck their own team. My teammates really liked to blast me to pieces at the start of a match. Perhaps the ball could turn blue/red depending on which team throws it.

In the future, a game like this with upgrades and team composition could be really awesome, and I would play a lot of that game. Thanks for coming up with a fresh idea, and keep making games!

One of the most fun entries to play in this jam! Like others have mentioned, the AI needs some polish. It'd also be nice to skip through the game once you lose.

You should be proud of this one :)

At some point I disappeared from the game but apparently didn't lose, but otherwise this killer volleybal was fun to play! :)

It's frustrating to hit an enemy and then die by the recoiling ball, but this game too addictive not to start a new round

this was a lot of fun!

I liked the idea. I died a lot but i kept coming back for more. I can see how this game could be addicting with some more polish.

cool little dodgeball game!

It is fun, once you realize how to play. Tutorial on start is nicely done, but noboy reads these days ))) Maybe just make a single ball with one guy to hit as a tutorial level?

Some additional feedback would be really helpful - hit animation or particles would make it much more fun to play. Even without additional assets, just make a sprite rotate or shake on hit for one second before disappearance. Now you can have real satisfaction on hit :)
