Fun game! The presentation is quite well done, featuring stellar pixel art and music. The gameplay is also fairly novel, sitting somewhere between a gallery shooter and a breakout clone. Story and dialogue weren't my cup of tea at all, but you can skip that stuff if you feel like it so no prob there, really. I did enjoy the ending! Very sweet :)

This game can be frustrating, so here are some (spoiler text) hints to make your time more enjoyable:


- Getting good at hitting the ball at the right angle is crucial for getting the ball behind enemies, bricks, and obstacles, so pay special mind to that.

- In boss fights and to some extent regular stages, it can be a better strategy to focus on the regular enemies on the battlefield rather than the boss itself or the bricks themselves. This is because enemies drop power-ups which can do some nice damage and give you momentum in the fight. (Your power-ups will kill more enemies, which in turn will give you more power-ups. It also helps that they help to clear out bricks.) When there aren't any bricks or other enemies, for example, lightning can do a lot of damage to a boss. The dark flame one, as well, is essentially just free damage on the boss if you aim it right.

Hope that helps! Enjoy!
