Nice game, easy to get into: there are no complicated rules. The shattering effect after the fall is a nice addition!

I found the board positioning a bit disorienting. It feels like the ball should naturally fall downward, but it doesn't seem to have any kinetic energy as it only starts moving after a long press.

Overall, I could actually see myself playing this game on my phone, especially if it used the phone's tilt as part of the gameplay. It reminded me a bit of those TikTok ads where you have to choose between options like +1 or −1000, whenever I had two ways to go

Thanks for the detailed feedback!
Actually I had my friend play it too, and they said the same thing, that adding gravity by default would give a stronger sense of speed. Definitely something I want to try.

I've watched enough Survivor to know this isn't as easy as it looks...  I love the creativity of the different balls - was NOT expecting those to be the unlocks!
