Very cool idea, I really had fun with this game. I wish it was a little longer but I guess you can always extend it in the future. Great work!

Doesn't really fit the theme, but I really liked the idea. Well done!

Don't understand how to solve one of the puzzles there seem to be no way to gain height with the balls. Maybe some additional information could be added on how to use the balls.

The game have some problems with collisions managed to throw one ball through the ground.

Overall changing property of items you carry could work but there seem to be no particular reason for why it has to be balls, the kicking and throwing seems to not really add anything.

This is a really nice and simple concept that I bet can make interesting levels and puzzles. I was however not able to get past the level where you need to stick the ball to the wall (the one in the first screenshot). I could never get to the door in time before the ball turned red again and fell down.

Good job anyway!

Well thought out puzzles, controls are a little hard to remember. . . :)

Not bad! The balls are kinda hard to predict though.

I could not pass level 4, maybe more kind of surfaces for the balls to react to? the puzzles seems solvable but you have to relly on playin with the physics of the balls, so that gives the player a lot of freedom, maybe adding more ways to open doors? more ways to solve the same puzzle from different angles?...

also when you jump touching the ground sometimes the player can get through the wall and get stuck while been push down for the gravity inside a wall.

Interesting mechanics. For some reason I would, rather frequently, start falling through the level when standing up against an edge.

Really fun little game and a really creative idea too! :) I love how cheery the music is!

Neat idea, fell through the floor on level 3. I like the general idea though. Nice music!

Really like the idea behind this. Could be a really cool larger puzzle game with some refined physics and more ball types.

Solid mechanics and interesting puzzles. There is a great base here.

interesting idea but not enough guidance to complete the early levels - I lost interest - nice effort

Fell through the floor a few times, and the ball physics are a bit odd, but I like it. The music is nice, too.
