Smooth gameplay, cool concept too. Could be more polished with some better sound design ~

Pac-Man and the ghosts's neighbors? :-D

fun a few minutes then realized that i never lose health (only when cath in the corner by ghost). A fix on that will give more fun :)

Thank you all for your kind comments! I was hoping to get a bugfix out for the issues today but it appears the issues are with my core engine not just the game itself so I'm not sure when I'll be able to fix them! I appreciate the feedback though!

Very simple and fun game! I liked the interesting movement and ability to build up a lot of speed, but sadly it can't be used much, as I just run into walls. Also some backround music would help a looot. But overall very nice game.

Why is the metal so slippery :o Very nice game, keep it up!

msplanlos 2022-10-04 21:54

Had my problems with the walking (or floating) controls but other than that a very nice game! (:

I had a lot of fun. The mechanic is simple, but it gets really intense when a lot of ghosts spawn. Nice job.

Interesting mini-game, the inertia of the operation is a bit big, but I think this is also one of the characteristics of the game, making the operation more challenging. In addition, bricks that change in 10 seconds would be better if they were more useful

Really nice smooth movement! Also the graphics were clear and cute. It was enjoyable to play! It would be nice to have a indicator for when the world is about to change. There could also be some visual and sound indicators of if you hit the ghost or the box. (Death animations for the ghost would be cool too)

Game closed on me both times I reached around 100 points and when I had about 20 health left.

Overall fun little shooting game and I had a blast playing it! :D

@tomga @phoenixofforce @msplanlos @moasip @moonblast @boclow Thank you all for the kind comments and feedback!

It started out fun, but after a while the game crashed. I don't know where the problem is, maybe a problem with the antivirus. anyway, for the moment that I was able to play, I have to say that the movement of the ball definitely needs to be improved, but it was fun

thebutterapple24 2022-10-05 19:43

@skel3ton The crashing is an issue with my C# script engine, essentially randomly after a while the garbage collector destroys the player object! Thanks for the feedback, Im still working on fixing the crash

Good game enjoy- love from pakistan

tommo 2022-10-05 21:08

I liked the slidey movement you had actually and the changing layout was fun. Some more sound effects and animation would have rounded it off well!

slothzilla-games 2022-10-06 00:35

Great job on the smooth movement, felt more like I was on ice than metal haha!

Having the ghosts go through boxes makes sense too, though it would have been nice to see them layered over the boxes instead of under maybe? Might make it a bit easier.

Really like the art, overall really well done!

flowerbadger 2022-10-06 06:27

Hello,I like it

jonasmg 2022-10-06 10:26

I like it! Had no problems with crashing :) It's cool that the ghosts pushes the player

shuimen 2022-10-06 12:53

Good concept! Maybe some more changes like floors will have more fun. Whatever well done!

thebutterapple24 2022-10-06 13:07

I want to send out a huge thanks for the feedback and kind comments! Thanks to you all I reached 20 votes! Still working on fixing the crashes and such, not sure if I'll get them out before the jam ends (since they're game-breaking) but I still want to thank you all for playing and giving feedback!!!

naplz 2022-10-06 18:02

Simple but fun game!! I really enjoyed it

lorwon 2022-10-06 21:45

Hi, the concept is a bit simple but it works :) I had 0 issues playing. The game is fun but I think that it deserves a bit more diversity.

But overall I really enjoyed playing, good job !

thebutterapple24 2022-10-07 12:51

Hey all! I have just released an update to fix the random crashing bug, as this was a game breaking bug I'm able to do so during the jam!​ After the jam I hope to add more suggested features!

rendow 2022-10-07 17:43

Impressive that you made this in your own custom engine for a jam! The graphics look good the sound effects add a lot to the experience. Well done!

thebutterapple24 2022-10-07 19:05

@rendow Thanks!!! I've been working on the engine for a while but felt it was time to make something during this jam! It's the first game I've created with it aswell!

stupidhobbit 2022-10-08 15:25

Game is fun, did not encountered any bugs. Movement feels kinda wierd due to inertia
