a fun game, it would be nice if the direction reset back to the starting one when you died, as half the time when I died the next life I would just roll back up the hill of the starting spot and die a second time. some of the timings are a little hard to get but its overall pretty fun!

Thank you! I thought of that, but just discarded it ... maybe I shouldn't have!

Good out of the box thinking, this is something I've been looking for.

There is a slight twitch on the ball when gravity is change but that's my only complaint.

15/15 Super creative, the difficulty ramps up, and the simplicity is awesome!

Very creative take on the theme! Even with how simple it is, its so polished and the gameplay becomes very skillful once you start getting the hang of chaining together gravity switches. That one jump to the small platform was hard lol. Enjoyed this one a lot!

the background looks like some tracks I would see on free rider, and the game idea is well executed

Simple but very creative and fun to play. I think I've never seen a game mechanic like this - one that affects how the physics works on slopes. Pretty cool gameplay, great job!

Surprising how fun it is considering it's simplicity. I'm definitely taking notes from this game.

I really enjoyed how simple the control mechanic is, but yielded very interesting and fun gameplay. The music also gave the right chill factor for this style of gameplay and aesthetic. Nice work!

Loved. Minimalistic style is great. At first seemed, mechanic is flat, but it's not)

Really cool concept. Was a bit confused at first but not for long - the "ramp up" during the first stage helped the mechanic click into place :) Hit the sweet spot for me in regards to an "easy-to-learn, hard-to-master" design, and the minimalist presentation made playing it oddly soothing. Great job!
