Cool! Graphics simple, but almost good. Good gameplay!

Cool game, though when the ball is destroyed I had to refresh the page and start again from the beginning.

The hitboxes on the bombs doesnt match the size of the bomb itself, which makes it feel really soft and unresponsive.

Its unclear what is dragging my ball in any given direction.

I wish there was sound. :(

They are not bombs they are gravity wells. You get respawned when you are pulled more than half way inside. I agree I wish there was sound as well.

That was difficult, but not bad. Once you get a handle on how the gravity wells affect you, it's pretty easy to move around through them. It reminds me of the old wood & marble labyrinths I had as a kid.

The movement seemed to stutter a bit, and that made it hard to get a feel for the sweet spot between some of the more narrow passages. It also would have benefited from a run button, or something to make those long but inevitable struggles out of a well go a bit faster.

Challenging! I like it, I hope you add more stuff, like sound!

This feels like a game that would have been great with a day or two more to polish. Level design is a bit lacking, and it needs more different hazards to avoid.

Fun and creative. With the small hitboxes it kinda felt like a bullet hell game, except all the bullets are stationary.

Quite fun but I don't find it much theme related, the screen is not very important in the gameplay.

Nice game. Simple concept and implemented very well. Slightly jarring on the eyes on the later levels when there are lots of flashing obstacles.

Very fun, I've yet to run it on my phone, but I can imagine it's really fun on one.

Nice game. =)

I like the gravity effects!

Good game, however it's a little painful for the eyes with all the flash.

Really interesting gravity mechanic, reminds me of a section in the game NightSky where you have to make use of wind-turbines to carry your marble to the end of the level, you've got an almost inverse version of that mechanic going on. I like the level of difficulty as well - perhaps the curve is a little too steep, but a good challenge regardless. I'd say that maybe you could have not had the gravity as strong as it is in the later levels and had more complex routes instead - as level 8 onwards it starts to feel more awkward to control. All in all, a nice challenging unique game, and I'm interested to see how well it plays on android.

Nice game, would possibly be funnier to play on a tablet tho :)

Fun

Extremely difficult! I like it :)
