Why do you say it is barely a game ? It's great :D
Original and fun concept !
I love the music x) I have to admit I thought on doing acapella stuff to (but well, time...) but you really nailed it
Did you use WebGL ? Simple art but it fits with the gameplay. The jump control is not always responsive though.

Even for a prototype it's fairly well built! The camera is a bit twitchy though...

It didn't work on my computer, I see the game but the input doesn't seem to work. This is a Win 8.1 x64. Tried with Chrome, Firefoz and IE :(

Quite hard! By the way I cannot hear any music (I think there is supposed to have since I read the comments).

you have groove! nice one, keep up the good work

wish I could give audio 6 out of 5

I have to agree with Belvar. It's a great game! A little polish on the controls and levels and I could play this for ages!

Music was perfect!

I couldn't hear any music on OS X Mavericks with Safari :( But don't be so hard on yourself, the game actually quite fun and addictive! :)

Really fun! The rules are simple and intuitive, good job overall.

I updated the description. When I wrote the original text I was really burnt out and frustrated for not having the energy to improve the game further.
The Music is in Ogg-Vorbis format and might only work in Firefox and Chrome.

I don't know how or why, but I got it running :)
I found the controls a bit frustrating, as they seem to be relative to the camera, but the camera follows the player too slowly. I'd prefer absolute controls or a faster camera update.

Other than that, I found the puzzles very fun and clever. This is a nice and well done game. Thanks!

kinda hard to control the ball :D but I got it through the first level \o/

license file? we used similar technologies. would you be interested in contributing to game I am working on? (also checkout coffee-script)

Hi there. Like the music, found the player control pretty difficult, not positive enough to make jumps predictably. Camera movement after death confusing (doesn't reset camera)

torcado194 2014-08-28 01:52

wow i loved this! the music was probably what kept me from quitting haha. i did beat it, even though it was annoyingly laggy on my comp. good job!

The concept great! It seems very simple at first, but levels 3-4 show that it has a lot of depth. I didn't complete level 5, however, because I got too frustrated by the god awful controls. I think the ball shouldn't move when you use the left or right arrow keys, only the camera should move. Again, the puzzle part was great, but the jumping part was extremely frustrating.
The music is hilarious!

Theme song is awesome. I was expecting also a nice jump sfx...but the whole game is definitely a great piece of work. intriguing puzzle and movement...it took me a while but finally I mastered it. The camera is a little crazy though.
Good job!

The camera makes the controls hard. Maybe the controls should be independent of the camera?

I couldn't figure out how to play world 3, guess I suck. :(

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the music. Yes, I know you just churned it out hastily by dubbing your own voice over itself a coupla times, but it's catchy, and the acapella nature of it just makes it that much cooler.

Thanks for making it!

Fun game. I wish there was more control over the camera though. Also some proper audio and maybe some type of ball-rolling animation would be nice.
