I like it, it gives me Monkey Ball vibes! Wish you had time to add some more levels, but the mechanics we do see seem really fun to play with!

I love it, this reminds me of a certain flash game I used to play ages ago. Stage 4 was definitely tricky but I managed. Great job.

I loved the game! I wish it had more levels, but the game is really good! The challenge is perfect, I finished it in just over 5 minutes, but I really enjoyed it! (I hope you make a version with more levels, I will definitely play if there is one!)

The game was very well presented. It ran smoothly on the browser. The theme interpretation is cool though the levels are a bit hard because the ball does not respond too quickly maybe because of the momentum. I feel that this could be a great navigation game and has lots of potential!

I almost beat level 2 on my third try but then I kept trying for another 5 minutes and couldn't get it so I gave up lol. 5 seconds is definitely little enough time to make playing stressful (in a good way). nice challenge that shows off how bad I am at pc games :p

Haha, yeah I definitely need to go back and adjust some of the levels to be a little easier. Thanks for playing!

I have no idea how not to fail on levels 2 and up, but I totally suck at games like this, lol. I tried though and had fun in the process.

Love that you can stick to walls, the gravity change makes it unique! Would love to see more levels, perhaps speed boosts, gravity flip pickups or jump pads could fit right in? I feel like if you lean into the "open-worldness" of you having to pick a route, you might create a niche in these sorts of ball rolling games. I'd love to see a game like that fully developed and released.

Yeah I'm definitely leaning towards the open-world direction for any future levels I make. I'm thinking it could be something similar to Mirror's Edge-type layouts where you can plan your path through the levels to try to get the best time possible. Thanks for playing!

Very cool game I like to play! 4/4 levels completed!

Thanks for playing!

This is a very cool game! The style and gameplay remind me a lot of old Cool Math Games like Run. Even though it was short, it was very fun, great job!

Developer

Run was definitely an inspiration for this. Thanks for playing!
