Our friend tkap didn't put much effort in :(

very fun, the highscores on here are insane

I really like the dash mechanic, adds to the speed run feeling of the game. It would have been good if the keys controlled the ball and the mouse controls the aim to avoid awkward steering. Save points are nice so glad you added them. Good job.

Pretty fun game though admittedly I might've mostly avoided the dash mechanic.

One of the few games I played today that I would want to retry for a better high score.

Could definitely use some background music. Just a simple beat maybe.

Simple visuals but surprisingly well designed gameplay. The number of variants and their evolving behaviors make for interesting combos, and the fast retry speed helps let the player quickly learn by trial and error instead of needing explicit tutorials.

Nice work!

Not very good at this, but I get the gist of it I think. I'm impressed! This looks and feels very balanced. The dashing in and out of green orbs is a genious mechanic. Not too overpowered and useful enough to save your butt if you use it wisely. The leaderboard is a great way for people to hang out just a little longer. How did you make that?

@wouter52 lootlocker provides free leaderboard hosting (requires an account). The game sends a GET request to receive the leaderboard, and a POST request to submit a score

Great game, but I suck bad at it. Total skill issue T_T

simple but still an interesting playthrough! only small complain is i wished the check points were more of a "line" then a hitbox in the middle!
