Oh man, this one is so cool. High votes when the voting starts!

kind of confused by this one. The criteria for getting the timer to fill back up feels very ambiguous.

foolmoron 2014-08-25 03:25

The little white orbs increase the timer! Kinda abstract, I know.

I like how the playfield changes as you play. It'd be nice to have an alternate control scheme. (keyboard arrows LR)

Really fun and unique gameplay. Graphics and audio are great for this style of game. I had the ball get stuck barely rolling once and turning didn't affect it. It also seems that balls can go through walls if rotating the board fast enough. Even with those issues, this is still a pretty great game!

So pretty! I really love the simple controls, too. Intuitive controls can really make or break small games like these, and you nailed it!

Straightforward gameplay and beautiful design. The timer bar around the frame is my favorite part. Great work!

Cool idea! The ball bounced a little too fast for me to control it very well, I think.

Nice game. Love the idea and arcanoidy feel.

I noticed a distinct lack of pokemon?
~9/10

Nice game, thanks for web. Love the simplicity and random generation. You need to make it a smaller resolution for people with smaller screens (like me). Also need to remove those horrible overlapping textures. Other than that, love it!

Interesting concept, like the visual style and the audio, didn't get the hang of it though...

The more I play, less points I got! Dat physics! Good job.

This looks pretty and plays well. One of the best entries I've come across. A little confusing at first, but well done!

Awesome concept, amazing execution, your games are always visually stunning - like candy. I wanna play this on my tablet :D

Cool pinball game! I'd love more bells & whistles.

esayitch 2014-08-26 18:05

Liked the concept a lot, and the visuals and sounds made this so much better. Like a perma-roided Pinball. VERY solid entry.

Really well polished. I included it in part 8 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/_ZcQE6pTBcc

Thanks Jupiter!

A nice little game. It took me a moment to understand what the goal was (especially since the web version didn't fit on my monitor) but had some fun with it later :)

mrexcessive 2014-08-28 19:24

Hey there. Love the restock time mechanic, very good pinball-like game. Gets a bit tricky once starts falling in middle, perhaps very slightly larger, so extra fraction of a second before rebound from the nasty 'diagonal mid-placed' walls would allow longer to play... but Good Job!

doomista 2014-08-29 14:57

I'd like to control the game with keyboard and maybe add more sounds to the orbs, so player can make also music inside the game. Cool idea, I like it!

oinkiguana 2014-08-30 00:05

This is really cool, but hard to play. I can't picture where the ball is going but it was fun to play anyway.

Web version is not working, 500 server error

foolmoron 2014-08-31 09:00

Try it again, itch.io must have been down for maintenance or something

Really cool idea and super challenging. I'd like to play that on a tablet or a mobile phone.

tautnerve 2014-09-07 07:57

Fun and interesting take on a familiar mechanic, can have
a lot more depth with some sort of power up system but
overall I think that it's simplicity is it's strength so
hard to tell. Anyways I played quite a few times and had
fun, so great game!

benjamin-soule 2014-09-07 08:05

I like the world system but I'm not very fond of the control. At first I was thinking I had control over gravity by turning and it tooks me time to realize that the ball was not moving with the board.
It results in some strange collision if you turn really fast.

I think I owuld have more fun with the game and especially the quarter generation system, with just a classic controllable ball ( arrow key ) being bumped away on collisions.

phocker 2014-09-07 23:59

This was a nice game. Great job.

grillaface 2014-09-09 00:26

Super smooth, great colors!

dcampos 2014-09-12 01:58

Really nice and innovative concept, but it's somewhat hard to control the ball.
