Quick score: 5/5 Notes: Great platformer with a very unique concept. Movement is incredibly smooth and fluid. Visually the game is a bit simple but its clean and looks nice enough. Decent amount of stages with insane optional challenges if you end up wanting more after you finish it. A barebones playthrough would take about 3 hours. 100% completion would probably take well over 10+ hours. Personally some of the optional stuff is a bit too extreme even for me so I wont be going for the full 100%, still really enjoyed the game though and I would highly recommend. One of the most unique platformers on steam and, visual simplicity aside, one of the best.

This game!! Skill building levels with rewarding challenges and puzzles. I was surprised to learn there was so many different kicks and combinations. My skill and techniques grew as the game progressed. Dope music too.
Great juggling platformer The ball juggling mechanics are easy to learn but take some time to master. Luckily the stages are designed and laid out in a way that allows you to get used to the movement as you go. The game is decently short but there are extra things to do in each stage and some bonus levels. Well worth the price
This game deserves more recognition. It's a good fun addictive challenge
Amazing game! Totally unique and innovative core gameplay mechanics, a huge accomplishment for a modern platformer. It fundamentally changes the nature of platforming. I did in fact purchase the game with my own money, and It was money well spent. However, for the sake of honesty, I must note that I consulted for the developer, and I know the developer closely. At the same time, I have never been paid by the developer nor offered any form of compensation, so I'm no shill. I'm a huge fan of this game, and I'd still be a huge fan even if I had no relation to this game. It is an absolutely incredible game, particular for fans of high skill platforming games (one of my favorite genres). Everything in this review represents my genuine beliefs. That being said, here are some of my thoughts on the game... The game essentially has you platforming not just with the player, but also the ball, trying to keep the ball in the air and get it to the goal. It's a great game mechanic that open...
Such a great game! (5/5) I was a playtester for Hack or Die and my favourite moments playing this game come when I'm making huge saves in absolute desperation to keep the ball in the air. Controls are perfect, tight and responsive. The boss fights are also definite highlights for me, they are like no other game I've played since the only way to attack is with the ball itself! Loads of levels, bonus stages, and optional objectives to play through. Assist mode options are excellent and easy to use, and the soundtrack is another 5 out of 5!
Fantastic game with a staggering amount of movement tech! Highly recommend
Sick game, tons of levels and good variations. Only thing missing is the option to view controls during the game and not at the main menu and would be awesome to have a boss fight mode where you can just play the bosses in a gauntlet style.
The game is good and the idea fresh and new it controls well and has a nice art style the only problem is the bosses while easy on paper (good to note i haven't gone far i think only the end of the 4th world) are hard in execution you avoid boss attack it hits wall then hit rinse repeat the problem is the ball it will often loss momentum and be slow the only way to make it faster is sprinting and hitting it be doing that puts the ball in danger making the boss 2-3 times longer than the actual level other then that fantastic game
Picked it up on sale and must stay I'm happy with what I got for sure. Lots of different levels and bosses to hack through. May take a second to get the controls and finesse of it down, but once you do the skies the limit in terms of skill cap. Making some "high tier" plays can be very rewarding. Its recommended to have a controller to play, but I played on both and its doable on pc, just a little more difficult.
