If I may, id like to suggest using a moving platform to bounce ball back (similar to brick) instead of hitting space when they enter a certain area. It would (imo) feel more like a game and less like a mini game. But still great job, I loved your different type of ball,"}],"images":["ld27\/13215-8c335016204cbc28b3cb1bcc40be1103.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/25799547\/TapToWhack.zip","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"24044","g_author":"13215","g_event":"LD27","g_eventkey":"18","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"24074","g_title":"Tap to Whack it Back!","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"601","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/13215-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The game is VERY simple.
