Very original. I'm not quite sure how you could take this idea further, but I'd love to see.

The rotating key idea was very good, but it feels like you gave up on it almost instantly :(
It's definitely something that could be expanded upon, but the whole ball pushing part isn't really interesting and it doesn't really take advantage of the rotation or the shape of the key.
I won :v)! Really cool idea overall! Graphics were simple but looked lovely! Puzzles were fun and challenging but fair! The only thing that messed with me a bit was the screen transitions. Other than that I really have nothing but positive things to say! Would love to see a larger game around the same concept! Great job!
Would love if you could check mine out too! Or not, no pressure ;) /jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462672?after=20#post-876644
Very original and unique! The idea is so simple yet very clever, makes me think why I haven't came up with this idea before. If only the game had more levels to it that discover the tricky elements of the mechanics, the game would be a very interesting puzzle. The key implemented very well, it doesn't stuck on the walls and it doesn't go through them. One of the uniquest games I've played so far in this jam, great job!
I'm just gonna put a general reply here to the ball clipping and camera issue. A simple mistake on my part and it's really just one value change. So please be gentle with the ball :) I've prepared an update which I'll upload after the voting period, thanks for understanding! <3 Also, thank you for the kind words everyone!
I'm part of the "pushed the ball out of bounds" club! Actually, the whole "turn the key to open doors", it's neat idea. Not sure if pushing a ball was necessary, and/or part of the core.

AMAZING!
I've never seen a game like this before. It's cool that you have to use the environment to rotate yourself in the correct position but also the same environment provides a challenge by purely trying to traverse it. I would've liked to see a part where you are confined in a smaller space where you almost lack the proper surface to turn but you have to figure out really how to do it. Or like a room where you have to turn yourself in a direction and then a keyhole at the end of a maze that you have to traverse without getting bumped. Or creating areas that halt the rotation so you have to think ahead of time and can't just solve everything by furiously wiggling the mouse (although my game is just that so I should't say anything :P).
All around amazing game, also cool looking. It was fun while it lasted, I wanna play more of it, please continue :D
Cool idea! I would like to see this game being continued working on :)
I bugged it out so could not continue as the ball dissapeared. It was kinda hard to go between levels also.
I think that this is an absolutely awesome idea and great design! My only problem were controls and getting balls into place. Other than that, great!
