If anything, I'd prefer a line projecting where you'd be thrown back, and if it would kill you. (or does that make it too easy).
This mechanic has potential
The graphics are great the physics as well it is just missing some sound, i think you should really pick it up after LDJAM and polish it up i would definitely play it.
Congratulations
Well done !
Good job ! cheers !
Really cool take on the theme!
I like how you could feel how destructive your powers were when you saw what happened to the room :D
Well done!
