Excellent game! Love it! Very innovative.
Kinda wished there are checkpoints where you fall out, but otherwise, greatly enjoyed it.

Lot of fun. Checkpoints would have been nice, because I probably spent way too long trying to beat it.
Can be a bit tricky when you seem to be "stuck" at a certain bounce level - but hot-damn - good work fo' LD!
Fun entry! It really is a balancing act to get through some sections.
Excellent work. This makes me want to break out the NES and play some Marble Madness.
Nice game. Really enjoyed the simple mechanic. One improvement I'd suggest would be a way to show the balls 'spin'.
Oddly addicting
Super frustrating that you go all the way back to the start when you fail. The ball movement feel is super nice though (played with xbox controller). Audio is different in a good way.
Really simple but fun! Checkpoints would be nice and there are a few flickering textures here and there, but overall : awesome game.
Loved it. Simple, short, but very fun. Would play more levels just for the feel of bouncing around. Add some particle effects and cool backgrounds and yeah, a cute game in the works.
I found this very hard to control and frustrating. That said it was interesting. I didn't get the green blocks were springs.
dafq, I meant At first I didn't get the green blocks were springs.
This game becomes fiendishly difficult...but that's not necessarily bad. :)
I love your use of lightmapping/ambient occlusion. Good sense of physicality.
Loved it but too hard for my skills
Great physic game, i love it. I would like some checkpoint because i'm really bad ;) Great game !
Nice. +1 checkpoints!
very fun
great use of physics and nice graphics !
Really liked the use of Metroid-style backtracking at the beginning. Very effective means of teaching me what the green blocks do. Really liked your use of minimal lighting to indicate where I should aim myself.
Maddeningly difficult in a very good way, though I do agree with the sentiment that checkpoints would have been helpful. I would have definitely played it to completion with them!
Thanks for all the comments!
About checkpoints: I was thinking of them when developing, but since I only have this one level, I thought maybe I won't add checkpoints to make it a bit more challenging. But, I guess there should be 1 or 2 checkpoints, so that it wouldn't be frustrating to go through the same start again. :)
PS. Did anyone find the sort-of-easter-egg location? :)
Very awesome keeps you on edge.. Good game..
Controlling the ball is all cool, except when it is either accelerated or bouncing high. Feels odd to keep on fine controlling it.
Also, I feel sad when you get into a pit and have to go all the way back. Overall very fun experience!
Fun game, I like the mechanics a lot and its simplicity.
Nice but having to restart from the beginning is a bit annoying!
This is a great game, looks stunning, and actually really fun to play. It's a bit frustrating though.
this game is great! but please add checkpoints...
Great game!! Very innovative and addictive :)
I believe that a well done bouncing ball could help to solve some challenges.
Hard to tame that bounce at times, as it should be I guess, feels good trying to game the system though and just bounce-breeze through it.
Nice choice of colors.
Amazing. Frustrating. Love the lighting.
Very nice game. The first time I see a platformer without jump button :) The game gets really difficult once you can die.
You pulled off the simple style well with some nice lighting, and gameplay is quite unique! I think you could have benefited from having damp walls - walls which don't cause you to bounce back - in certain spots where you need to fit through tight spaces, and there was one part in particular where I got stuck a few times because my bounce height got messed up. A trampoline or an easier method of self-destruction (such as a large pit to fall down) may have helped! Still you made a fun game that's on theme - nice one =]
Cool game. I felt that the bouncing off side walls had a bit too much force, which led to loss of control.
Thanks to everybody for comments and feedback. Much appreciated!
A good example of the equation simple = fun
Cute game! It felt a bit too bouncy and checkpoints would be nice. Kinda got frustrated always falling out in the same place.
Would love to see a graphical makeover. Great use of light though!
This game NEEDS checkpoints. But yeah, really cool! And I kept playing it even though I had to restart a few times to win. Good job!
Bit hard. I like minimal controls, but I don't like having minimal control -- I felt like I was fighting the ball more than controlling it. Otherwise good.
That's tricky but when we're in control it's really fun !
I did not find the easter egg. :'-(
really liked it, up until I died and had to start from the very beginning, it's hard to justify to myself to keep playing when a game is that cruel :P

Very short and simple, I like that. I could imagine a ton of levels utilizing only the mechanics you showed allready. Some sort of "Sonic the Hedgehog" - like rolling with these ramps for example. Great!
Very simple (fits the theme obviously) but great game. I would have loved to have checkpoints though.
Fun game. I wish the camera was pulled back just a bit. Seemed too close at times.
If you mean by easter-egg location, that small block with a wall floating to the left of the beginning, then yes, I found it. Really liked the physics in this one and the music was really refreshing.
Minimalistic and it delivers, good job!
Fantastic game! The mechanics are so simple and work so perfectly!
Only missed a checkpoint system. I had a lot of fun playing it ^_^
Very interesting concept, but very hard (playing on keyboard)
kinda cool -- interesting concept -- nice effort!
Nice game.
I think I completed it. Unity doesn't seem to render fonts for me on Linux so all the buttons are blank.
Think I found your hidden area too.
We won. Good game.
Pretty tough, but lots of fun to play around with.
Nice game, but somehow I got some bizarre acellerations.
I like being a bouncing ball.
Fun entry, just a bit frustrating falling to your death with no checkpoints as others have pointed out. :P
Very neat idea. To me it feels like it needs more tuning to be truly fun: it's hard to steer where I want to go. Part of that is the fun frustrating challenge of a tough unforgiving game, but part of it is...just plain hard to steer. Also bouncing off corners of things seems to change your energy unpredictably.
