Really liked the idea of your game; however, I thought it was kind of difficult to figure out the controls. Couldn't figure out how to drop the ball at first.

Awesome. Simulated charity is even more fun than real charity!
This is good. Make your numbers bigger with the saved people though, like you just saved 10000 people! sounds more epic then just one :). Also dropping multiple coins at once! You could change the bottom in live time and stuff.
I click on the buttons and they do nothing. I'm using Windows 7/Firefox.
Fun way of trying to strike a balance between donating to those in need and acquiring more wealth to do so. Adding more immediate needs for the people and benefits (investing?) for getting more money could add a lot more depth to the game. Nice job exploring a unique concept.
Not a bad concept, and I rather like the lighting effect as the ball moves around. The rather pure randomness about it takes way from the fun for me though, and the controls could use refinement. Allowing arrow key input, showing current rewards and current ball placement in the field, and making the buttons rectangular rather than clicking on the pixels of text would all be nice.
Could do some hints about what to click on to control where you drop the ball but the basic mechanism is sound. With a bit of polish this could be very good indeed.
It's nice to see support for the concept, shame the rushed UI is bringing me down here - maybe it's something I shall work on again.
Piscythe; It can be a bit temperamental, seems to work best in Chrome (though it usually works in Firefox too, but for some people it just doesn't. No idea why)
How should I savw people with all this stuff? )))) I still wonder )
Interesting. Simple and good :)
In my small display (1024x600) I have problems (text is too big, and buttos are hide under text). There is no scaling or something like this...
Too much randomness as other says.
