How is your game related to the special object and theme?
You must generate momentum by swinging the special object (candy cane) and then release it to throw it as far as you can.

Nice idea, I'd love to be able de to something more after the launch (like boost or redirect) :D
Funny little game. Idk why I throw better backwards than forwards xD.
Interesting idea, sort of reminiscent of retro sports games like Track & Field! To add to the feeling of momentum, there could be more mechanics related to when each key should be pressed. For example, when the cane is standing straight up, you want to press left to make it fall to the left. After that, you want to press down to increase it's downward momentum. At the bottom you want to press right, and so on, in a circular motion. As far as I understand it, now it was a matter of how fast you press WASD, which was fun as well! Nice job!
Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed it and I would have loved to implement what you suggested if I had more time :)
Fun idea! I'm not sure if yeeting it backwards to -132m deserved a good job, but I appreciate it anyway :D
Hahaha still impressive, thanks for playing :)
Cut to me blasting on my mechanical keyboard at 12:22AM with my wife sleeping in the other room. Great concept =)
This actually made me laugh :D glad you enjoyed it :)
Very simple game with simple mechanics. I like it. :) My high score is 87m.
