Linear Launcher

Use your momentum to crush crumbling orbs, and throw your robot body through multiple balls at once to rack up high scores while being careful of time!

Rules/Tips:

• You lose if time runs out or you land from a jump without smashing anything.
• Points are earned consecutively for hitting multiple balls at once.
• Balls become more scarce as time goes on, so try to rack up scores early!

Controls:

• WASD or arrow keys to move.
• Hold space to charge up a jump, and release it to jump. You'll automatically jump after a certain amount of time.

Dev Notes:

It was nice to do a game jam that's way less intensive than others, where you don't have to work non-stop for two days or what have you. I certainly didn't get enough time to polish, which was more or less expected, but I still think it turned out well! Honestly, the short time helped me limit my scope, which is a problem I've faced with other jams: this kinda feels more complete than other jam games I've made, frankly. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it, if even for a little bit!

Final time for development: 3 hours, 6 minutes and 54 seconds (as recorded by GMS2).
