Balls of praise

There’s a boss at the end of every level, trying to keep you from finishing destroy you.
It’s the desire to accept praise.
The praise is not meant for you.

Shield yourself by deflecting the praise upward.

The crucible for silver and the
	furnace for gold,
  but man is tested by the praise he receives.
				- Proverbs 27:21
