Wow! Amazing graphics. Well done!

Awesome work! The art is fantastic, and the core gameplay is really inventive. I love the planning-then-executing nature of the game.

One bug I noticed was the audio doesn't restart when you start over, and sometimes I got unbeatable levels.

What an incredible idea!

Cool! I really like the visuals. The mechanic is interesting. I expected this to be an action game but was pleasantly surprised to find a super hero puzzle game. I like it. :thumbsup:

That cel-shaded art is amazing! I don't think I've ever played something like this before. It's fun to be able to try and plan out the absolute best position to minimize losses, and finding out that you can deflect orbs against each other was a nice surprise!

Nice animation and main character. I loved the superhero theme.

The previews seem to be a bit bugged with balls hitting other balls, lost a game when the preview showed I would survive. In any case the game was still fun and I think the idea behind it is very good, graphics and animations were excellent

This is the best I've seen so far. Everything is polished. Game design made me pay attention to the game for a long time. I enjoyed making smart moves, breaking the ball on the ball. It is strong!

Really nice game! Even though you get a preview of what's going on you can sometimes be surprised by a comet you missed or a miscalculation. It looks really nice as well and I'm impressed that you made this in 48 hours. Good job!

Well done!

Impressive graphics and effects. Really interesting idea behind this game design. Please develop your game further after jam and I will play this all time long! It's just awesome

Game is really smooth, I'm not fan of the UI, but models are pretty good. I think there could be some timer when you are preparing to block the asteroids, but this is just my idea. Very nice entry and good job!

I think it's a great puzzle game with really great graphics and original mechanics.
Maybe a little bit too hard at start.
Nexusviper30 Apr 2019, 15:57
Graphics are good and giving advantage to think before you can actually fight is a nice option. It gives new possibility to try the game with different ideas :) Nice Entry. Good luck

The graphic style is realy nice, also the gameplay is interesting. I like it. As mentioned before: The music does not restart after GameOver.

hooooly man. That was my reaction the moment I hit space for the first time (well the second time counting the main menu). The punch audio, the character animations - felt really really good. Really responsive, and expressive.
The next aha moment was that you could bounce projectiles into others and have them blow up each other.

Very fun play. Thanks so much for posting!

This is one of the best experiences I had this jam! The punch felt really powerful and satisfying. Wonderful job.

I only wish the puzzles were actually designed instead of what I believe is generated? And sometimes my position works in the testing phase, but in reality it misses.

Nice lighting and art! It's hard at first but once you get it, it's fun!
m2e1 May 2019, 17:26
I like the idea, graphics and sound design. It feels a bit unfair because of the randomness of the levels. But nevermind - good job!

It's really an interesting game! I played so many times, but I just unlock $15+ secret. It's too difficulty when the attack number is increasing to 5. Maybe it's a little random so that sometimes I could not protect over half dollars?

I really like the cel shading on this one. It's a bit hard to choose on time which civilians save, since you character is really slow and you don't have much time thinking before the comets arrive. Also, I don't really see the link with theme ; all I see is you have to sacrifice some civilians to make as much money as possible. It confuses me a bit, since you (the player, the character) do not loose anything :/

Great job nonetheless, I reeally like the particle effects on the comets ;)

OK! I unlocked everything! Really nice game! The music don't restart with the game but it's not that bad. I like the mechanics. Good luck!

Some of the levels were very hard. I wish I could know all the secret lore but my gamer skills were not up to par. (please DM me the lore)

Good job, was pretty fun! Although I went through 7+ playthroughs and never managed to get the 40$ mark ^^ Mostly because of that unaccounted "explosion" mechanic.

The visuals were really cool as well, and it was very innovative how you produced such a fun and replayable game with so few resources. Well done.
soujd4 May 2019, 02:42
Wow those graphics and effects are SO COOL! Really fun mechanics too!
Deviant4 May 2019, 04:50
The preview showed all of the objects flying away, but in execution he punched 2 and died to one from behind, a little misleading imo.

Good concept and well-executed game as always! I like the puzzle and how the game helps you solve the puzzles by showing the hypothetical trajectories.

But the connotation of the setting and the three secrets you can unlock are the most interesting thing for me.
