The gameplay was really fun as well!

Good Job!\r\rThe only problem is, that the angle never changes, when the player doesn't bounce the ball back. Some not rectengular hitboxes might have been interesting here."},{"author_name":"zguerrero","author_uid":"65241","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:53pm","epoch":1450208880,"text":"perfect ludum game! well polished, simple and chalenging, excelents graphics and sound to, why can't we rate the sounds by the way?"},{"author_name":"bradur","author_uid":"40138","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:56pm","epoch":1450209060,"text":"Good looking game with good mechanics & sounds :).

The design is really nice and I like the mechanics. The pixel art is adorable as well. I don`t see the point in the score though since you will get more and more points every time you die."},{"author_name":"DonEngland","author_uid":"64613","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:44pm","epoch":1450211940,"text":"Cool idea.

Thank YOU for making the game!\r\rThings I liked:\r- The game felt polished. It had a well thought out progression of levels that led the player from start to finish.\r- The graphics and sound effects were well made, consistent, and well presented. No complaints in either area.\r- The idea is innovative and unique! I've never played a game like this before!\r\rSuggestions:\r- The quickest way to beat levels was standing nearly in the middle so that the ball would bounce straight up and down. This strategy could be prevented by offsetting the ball shooting angle more, or by placing the star off to the side\r- You write that this was for the 2 button theme, but I used 3 buttons! Two arrows for movement, and the spacebar to shoot...\r\rOverall great entry! It was both innovative and fun :D"},{"author_name":"SirJavaGaming","author_uid":"45375","time":"Dec 20, 2015 @ 7:02pm","epoch":1450637820,"text":"Android link seems to be dead"},{"author_name":"alexrus07","author_uid":"33660","time":"Dec 21, 2015 @ 1:01am","epoch":1450659360,"text":"@BoxedMeatRevolution Ah, sorry, the spacebar shooting feature was just for dev and was not supposed to be in the final version.

Each block falls down when hit, so make sure Yume is out of the way!\r\n\r\nYou will start out with one Ice Ball, but over time Yume can conjure more. An arrow will appear that dictates which way the Ice Ball will travel.\r\n\r\nAvoid the Ice Balls when they're flying around, they can knock Yume out.\r\nCollect coins and dodge falling blocks successfully to increase your score.\r\n\r\nCollect the star in every level to win, and face a boss in the end.\r\n\r\nControls: Use left and right to walk and advance menus.","title":"Yume Starcatcher"}
