The goal is good, but it needs to be more challenging and less just tapping away at keys without thinking. Also, the lack of camera controls meant that I often found myself having no idea where I was or where I was going. Good Audio, though and decent graphics.

It was pretty cool just rolling around, but I really wanted to be able to rotate the camera.
Hi ! it was impossible to move, couldn't find how to control the sphere, I will come back later
I cracked it open! Also, would be nice if the camera showed me where I was going better when travelling up hills.
pretty interesting. the idea of just rolling around over rolling hills (pun definitely intended) is very relaxing.
Really needs the ability to rotate the camera.
I'm gonna say it... the theme was below the surface and this game seemed to be all about being above the surface.
What have I done? WHAT HAVE I DONE!?

The lack of camera control is the biggest issue. I gave it 3 tries but my ball got bugged every time unfortunately. It was launched into space once and went through the floor into the oblivion twice. Sorry mate.

Nice variation on the theme. I also got issues with the camera and the movement are skippy...

Good job, but the camera could have some work done on it :)

@justinmchase - The game is about what's below the surface of the object, not the world. Different take. ;)
Re: camera controls - I know, I kept putting off camera work, and got too burned out to fix it by the end. :/

Agree with others - a more dynamic camera would have definitely helped with this game. Ignoring that - I found strange satisfaction just rolling up the mountain and cracking the ball... How odd!

That is quite fun to play!
The idea is quite original.
Too bad the player motion is bit bugged and also would deserve some more polished graphics.
Hi. Follow-cam jitters a bit, maybe something can be done about that. Does the object rotate ? maybe a texture which shows that. Changing direction by right-click camera might be nice. Managed to open it, fun toy!
