Aliens from outer space have attacked a fruit truck and its contents are spilling into the pool!

Use your trusty paddle ball to catch all of the fruit and aliens before they touch the water. But beware if your ball gets submerged you can't hit anything, so try to stay on top of things and get the high score.

Made by a team of 6 people as part of the GMTK Jam 2021!

love game

Thanks <3

Great Polish. Did you use a specific water shader asset? Looking for a good water shader for built in render pipepline.

Hey sorry for the late reply, but the game uses the URP. The shader for the water was made in Shadergraph based on aniruddhahars work. Here's a link: https://github.com/aniruddhahar/URP-WaterShaders

Hope that helps, and I wish you a wonderful day!

Really polished and great looking, especially for a 48hr jam.  Lagged a bit for me, but I really like the concept and how you have to tailor your movement to the ball!  

Thank you for your kind words! After the game jam we try to tweak the graphics settings to minimize the lag, since the preconfigured ones are quite demanding.

Really fun game!!! I'd say it's one of the most polished I've seen so far. I liked the incentive to go get other objects because it caused me to fail at pinging the pong.

Yeah we always try to polish our games, and usually take almost the whole Sunday for that :)

A bit confusing on goal at first, but after you get that it is a super fun game. You did an amazing job on physics and the game looks really clean. Overall, it's a great game.  

Thanks, man!
