Civilization has made struggle in The Forest, it's inhabitants perish while trying to run away from it. You and your Spirit friend are two of the last survivors, and when you see that there's nowhere else to run, your friend sacrifices himself to give you one last chance to fight! Use his soul to defeat the civilization!
The game is a 2D Platformer, where you shoot a bouncing ball that can mash your enemies into a pulp. Played with Mouse and Keyboard.
P.D: Thanks everyone for the comments and ratings, it really helps a lot! Oh, and if you want to skip the Intro you can do it pressing "Esc".
Good controls and nice looking particle system on the guy you control. I would have liked to move a bit faster. The enemies were well designed as well. I would have liked to be able to skip the intro cutscene. Not really in the mood for that at 4am in the morning ;)
Fantastic game! Congratulations, the gameplay is awesome and the sounds are great, I just think about the square shape of the enemies, it can be a problem, and it is, over all in the last boss, the boss is not able to reach the hero.
Its great to see an intro video because they are so rare, but maybe make it skiable after the first time you have watched it. However that is such a minor grumble on what is an excellent game.
Top marks for graphics for sure! You have obviously put in a load of polish and I think this game will rate really high.
The game was interesting to play and decently fun. It felt very short, though. A decent choice of unconventional weapon.
The bg music was pleasant, and there were decent sfx. However, it wasn't easy to figure out if I was actually doing any damage to the enemies. My first play through, I didn't kill any enemies until I got to the boss, because I couldn't figure out if I was doing anything by hitting them with the ball. I did figure it out on my second time through, though.
Nice job! The graphics were a bit inconsistent, the player was done really well, but the enemies were a bit "meh". Nevertheless, I liked it, and played through the whole thing. :)
This is a really amazing game. I can't believe you did all this in just a weekend. It looks great, it sounds great, it plays great. I'll come back to this one for sure!
Very fun game. Solid level design and the mechanics worked great. I think the AI could use an upgrade. The enemies just seemed to get mad and wait for me to kill them. It would be cool to zoom out for the boss fight. I stayed in the corner and never really got to see much of it.

Very funny game! Congratulations, it is very original!
An excellent game! It might be a bit too easy, but I definitely enjoyed playing it. Congrats for having music, checkpoints, a boss battle, and a working Linux version! Makes me wish for more levels using the game mechanics, with different themes, new enemies, new hazards.
Really awesome animation and particle effects! The characters are cute, even the 'monsters'. The gameplay is pretty solid, and the bouncing ball physics is neat. It's certainly an 'unconventional' idea too, so that's good.
Cute little soul! Neat game. I included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/m_vzNeNUn1c

Already downloaded the source code and am studying it.
Nice :D, Let me know if you have any doubt, and I apologize in advance for the disorder of some parts of the code...

Graphics look super nice and the background music is fitting and suspenful.
Really impressive work in terms of overall design, supported by wonderful execution.
