Game Description
Control the Chaos!
How does your game tie into the theme?
The game is about containing bullets inside a play area. As the game progresses, they become more chaotic and hard to contain. All games assets (aside from UI) are Polygon2Ds, programmatically generated using formulas for circles (for the Simple Shapes wildcard).

Awesome game! It starts off very easy to get the player used to the controls but then the difficulty truly ramps up when the 2nd paddle is introduced as you need to make sure both are positioned correctly to stop the balls from escaping. It feels very polished and I think it could be made into a mobile game as an on-the-go time-killer. Good Job!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you had fun!
I really like how many difficulty options there are, and the difficulty ramps up in a fair, but challenging manner. The color scheme is also very well chosen, just a great game overall!
Thanks!
This was really fun and fits with the theme of the jam very well, very good job!
Great concept and pretty wonderfully executed. Good work! Thanks for submitting.
Incredibly addicting gameplay, I love these kind of jam games where it's a simple concept and it's so well executed. I played this for way longer than I intended to, especially thanks to the addition of the leaderboard. Great work!
Thanks for playing!
Great game. It starts off simple but quickly becomes quite chaotic.
A deceptively simple, but, in my humble opinion, masterful execution of the jam’s theme! The simple visuals give for a nice, cozy feel, while spinning the paddle to stop all of the balls from wrecking the place work very well together! I was also very impressed with the number of options given for tweaking ones game challenge!
I also appreciated the leader board, allowing me to know exactly how utter crap I was at playing the game! :D
Excellent game! For your entertainment, here’s a link to my stream of your game!
Thank you so much for the feedback and for streaming my game! That was the first time I've been able to watch someone live stream a game of mine!
I spent on the game too much time. Every round was the last round. It’s soo addictive. Simple graphics don’t distract from the task at hand. Music fits well into the gameplay. I had some minor issues with controls when moving too quickly, but it’s more of a skill issue :)
This game is honestly so fun I can imagine spending hours just trying to get a high score amazing work.
Thank you so much! Haha I am amazed at how some of the scores have gotten
Very polished and great looking game. Controls were very responsive and I found the whole thing very intuitive. I loved seeing all the different options in the settings menu. My only nitpick feedback is that having alternate color schemes offered would be a super cool feature, as the current one was not very color-blind friendly.
Thanks! That's a great idea! I'll have to work on adding that for after the jam
This looks so polished! I love the design, the color palette and the juiciness of it all.
Real fun and addicting. I really like that i can change all these modifiers to fine tune the speed to where my brain could still process things. Also very cool that paddle speed is defined by how close your mouse is to the center, that made some really quick 180° paddle flicks possible, which felt really satisfying.
But i could nowhere reach the top 10 with people in there having over 40k points, my best was 3000 something lol
Super fun game.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it! Haha yeah I was blown away by the 40k point score
awesome and very chaotic once it picks up! Would be nice to have some setting for sensitivity or maybe i just need to tweek mine XD
Thank you! This was my first time using mouse movement as a mechanic in a game, so I’ll have to explore how to make that work more smoothly
Lovely! I really enjoy minimalistic designs and I found yours very elegant. It is easy to see that a lot work went into it too. It felt very well balanced too. I found it a bit hard to play on a very large screen (and in the embedded web window because the cursor would go out of focus), but that's inherently trickt with mouse movement controls, I should have probably tweaked my sensitivity.
Very well crafted. I feel like it has a lot of (game) design space to explore, which is always intriguing, but at the same time it is already a great standalone experience.
May I ask if you have a visual design background of some kind?
Thank you very much!!
I don’t have a design background, but I did use a color palette designed by someone else (linked on the game page) which I think helped a lot
Great game! Genuinely fun and very hectic. I like the leader board as well, though I wasn't able to get on it D:
Thank you!
Fun little game. Thought it was pretty cool you got a leaderboard working. Nice work!
Thanks!
Very well done. Loved the bass in the music. Almost made it feel like it could be a rhythm game.
very simple idea but extremely well polished and executed! I can see myself getting distracted playing this for a while lol
Thanks for playing!
Pretty fun and very funky, love this game, it reminds me also of another indie game that I found here on itch.io, can't remember the name right now but it has the same "layout", even though both games differ in "personality" and feel, this one has a more hectic gameplay. Pretty cool game.
Thank you!
Im gonna be honest with you.
This game might win the Jam,
It's an awesome, fun, visually amazing game, even the audio was great! And the ammount of juice and polish was incredible.
I cannot describe how great this game was!
Thank you so much! That would be amazing! The best I've ever done in a Godot Wild Jam was around top 50%, so being anywhere near the top would be exciting!
