Great mix of a good concept and an excellent level design!
What to improve ? The music is a bit harsh and the physic is floating a bit much. Otherwise I really enjoyed playing it.

I think there might be something wrong with the music; it sounded sort of glitchy? Good game, though :)

I'm not really sure what's going on with your audio, but the rest of the game is pretty great! The minimalist graphics are wonderful, the subtle squash and stretch on the ball is satisfying, and the core gameplay is tightly refined. Nice work!

Just downloaded and tried the game. I thought you guys just didn't like the music! It's actually glitched out for some reason... looking into it.

Fun little game! Love the simple art, the colors are great. The sound, whether it's the soundtrack or sound effects, is messed up. I'm getting weird, glitchy, staticy sounds that shut off and on. Pretty off putting, but other than that, awesome game!

This is awesome. I really like the glitched out music. I like how the ball changes it shape a bit as it falls around. The puzzles are hard and interesting. Good show.

this remind me of a game that i played in my childhood, i forgot the name tho
still nice game, nice level design and....ball :))

trueboolean 2015-12-14 05:07

Great game! I like the animation of the character and the level design.

pkenney 2015-12-14 05:11

Cool use of inertia and gravity mechanics! That last level was crazy, I had these wild swings all around the level, feeling barely out of control and screwed by my mistakes 4 seconds before.

I did have a technical issue with the sound. It was playing some kind of loud static and I had to mute it. I won't vote on audio since I know you did have sound effects but I didn't get to play with them.

deadpixelsociety 2015-12-14 05:23

Thanks for the heads up on the broken music guys. Guessing my beepbox export got corrupted somehow. I've gone ahead and disabled the music entirely in the new upload. Sound effects are still in and seem to be fine.

I enjoyed it but the harsh music really ruined it for me, also it is not very original, I have played many rotate the level games on flash game sites before.

taffaz 2015-12-14 14:54

Enjoyed this game. Really simple but tricky. Great combination.

ajmalr 2015-12-14 20:35

I love the tilt mechanic, it fits the theme well and it's a lot of fun. I felt the last level was too easy and you introduced a cool crushing mechanic in the previous level that I think you could have expanded on. Overall a very cool game, you should consider finishing it as a full game.

ingon 2015-12-15 03:47

Well put game. Physics seems a bit too quick, but otherwise great.

zaniarm 2015-12-15 07:46

Great game with solid gameplay and simple graphics. Well done.

geckoo1337 2015-12-15 16:50

Really addictive. A good casual game. I like how you generate sounds according to the coin size. I noticed that you used SFXR. A great entry. One of my favorites for this 34th LD contest. THX ++

blackbird806 2015-12-15 19:38

Wow this game is realy fun and pleasant to play.
The concept is great, level design is realy good.
I think you should make this game on smartphone I'm sure it will.
be better on this platform.

jupiter_hadley 2015-12-15 20:53

Lovely looking, fun to play! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/HyS0oGo3sGY

yamzho 2015-12-15 22:03

Great game. Simple mechanics, well implemented. Well done.

dejvo 2015-12-15 22:13

really cool. altough, i hve seen this many times. but hreat humor on the blind optimism level :D i did exactly what was intended :D

deadpixelsociety 2015-12-15 22:25

Thanks for the kind comments so far everyone! I really appreciate it.

@Jupiter_Hadley, thanks for playing it! Your series is amazing and has to be a ton of work.

@Dejvo, I'm glad my sense of humour is appreciated. :)

diel-mormac 2015-12-16 01:14

You did a nice concept and level design,
This game have much potential!

I think you should keep working to make a mobile version, I want to see it in my phone! hahaha

Don't forget to include a level selection menu and a time trial mode!

Congratulations!

cool physics game, very entertaining

archonthewizard 2015-12-16 04:34

Cool idea. The physics felt good.

kzdev 2015-12-16 04:35

Really fun game, would love to play more levels

os_reboot 2015-12-16 06:18

Aesthetically pleasing entry. The graphics fit together nicely, especially with your layering-3D effect. Sound is decent. At times I felt the levels became slightly too punishing (forcing the player to go on for a while without some sort of checkpoint) (this had a minimal effect on the engaging game play). Overall very well organized entry. +Kudos

I really love this game´s controls they are quite polished and the phisics also react quite well. Both things help to bring a quite good experience

drunkain 2015-12-16 11:11

Really Great, the only flaw ? it's too short i really wanted to play more.
Good job !

drzanuff 2015-12-16 11:31

The game is very polished! I completed the levels two times, but didn't have the patience to collect all coins, well, i am not a completionist player... You could improve the death scene, make the ball pops and burst in very small balls using particles. A nice touch too would be implementing some kind of feedback when you touch the end zone, a sound or something.

riftpoint 2015-12-16 12:39

Very cool game! The level design is very clever and the gameplay feels good

orangeez 2015-12-16 21:04

Cool entry!

vitasamode 2015-12-17 07:57

Everything worked great for me. I loved the simple design, controls and overall game feel.

piechronicles 2015-12-18 23:00

nicely polished game, the titles were a nice touch! I had fun :)

shadow64 2015-12-20 07:06

Really cool. The level design was nice. Loved the names for all of the levels. It felt very Thomas Was Alone in a lot of ways. I would've loved more levels, so hopefully you'll get a chance to continue working on the project!

Thanks for sharing and congrats on finishing!

Also, I would love a link to the music so that we could hear what it was SUPPOSED to sound like. ;)

phocker 2015-12-21 04:19

nice game - perhaps you used this game for inspiration :)

deadpixelsociety 2015-12-21 13:14

Thanks! There was no direct inspiration for this game. It's just an idea I've had for years and never did anything with.

gatechgrad 2015-12-22 00:23

Nice gravity puzzler. The last level made me feel a little dizzy.

chriiis88 2015-12-22 08:25

Cool idea and realisation. The controls could respond a little bit better (turning is very slow, which makes rounding 90 degree corners very difficult) and a little more color wouldn't hurt either. Otherwise a nice game.

saintheiser 2015-12-22 13:13

Very solid game but idea isn't new. Like the minimalistic visuals =)
