Interesting puzzle game. Fun, but very hard.

Bit too hard for my liking; the cannonballs often went inside the blocks for some reason. Otherwise, not bad: 4 stars!

Simple entry, but the gameplay and layouts are well-designed. Good job, I played it to the end and enjoyed it :)

Bravo! Last level is tough!

Didn't quite make it to the end, but the first 5 levels or so (i stopped after the one with the cyan and magenta triangles) were fun. As others noted, quite hard though.

Could run a bit smoother, but overall nice game!

Last level is very difficult and there seems to be a "feature" or two but overall, the game is fun to play.

Hard but fun :)

Yeah, there is an issue with collision detection I wasn't able to fix in time. Thanks for playing!

Simple game but very funny. Really love the last level :)

Interesting puzzle and level design. You could add some more game elements to make the game richer. It could also have a pinball aspect. It would be nice to see it on my smartphone.

The initial plan was to have other types of objects in the world to make hte puzzles more interesting, but I ran out of time.

Nice simple game, but it works! And quite challenging too :)

Interesting concept. I found it very fun to play.

Quite simple but quite fun, there are some bugs with collision detection, sometimes the ball kinda sticks to the surface of the block and moves along until it ends.

A little short, but fun nonetheless.

Had some fun with this! I was doing pretty well, until I got to the level with a blue triangle and a blue... trapazoid maybe? It had three distinct groups of stars. I started to feel like I wasn't in perfect control of the cannon, like if I hit left-arrow once then right-arrow once, I might not end up where I started.

Two hugely helpful choices you made were 1) allowing R to restart the level at ANY TIME instead of making me watch it play out (you can make the stars dance by jamming R, try it), and 2) the same shot always did the same thing. If either of those were not the case I think the game would be far, FAR less enjoyable than it was, so great work on the small choices there.
