I like the physics! I did manage to get the ball off screen though, and it never came back down...

May want to look into that one.

Great idea, I like physics based puzzle games a lot. It's a shame that you didn't have more time to make more levels.

I liked the challenge and controls, but I feel like it's very easy for furballs to get stuck. Restart level button is ok solution, but maybe some limited way to shake whole house? Also, rolling animation of player ball can be tighter so it looks like its actually rolling instead of floating. Some effect on hitting the floor would also make the main mechanic more intuitive. Overall it's got potential, core gameplay is fun.

Quite a nice little game. It's a shame there's not more levels, but otherwise the gameplay is appropriately challenging. Nice job!

Very cool that you made this in eclipse! Its a very cute little game.

Neat little game. There's something about knocking stuff over from the cellar that's so weird and childlike. I like that a lot.

Nice game, the puzzles seems a bit one solutiony sometimes, I like it more when there is more exploratory solution discovery

There are some better hosting options than Mediafire. A great one is itch.io, that one doesn't bombard people with adds or popups. It'd be nicer if you used something like that :)

jezzamon 2017-12-14 01:59

This is a really sweet game! I love the music :)

I've never seen a physics puzzler with quite this mechanic before. The presentation on this one is cute as well. However, after playing for a while, the game began lagging to the point of unplayability on my Win10. That's a shame, since it means I didn't actually get to play the post-compo levels at all. Good work!

@piscythe Okay, I was able to reproduce this and I'm pretty sure I fixed all the performance-related issues. Maybe give it another try if you want :)

piscythe 2017-12-15 02:39

And now that it's fixed I can truly comprehend how bad I am at this game ^_^.

Wow! What an interesting title screen! ;)

Haha, great concept! I'm not sure the left/right rolling adds much value; there doesn't seem to be any use for bouncing up whilst moving sideways as well. But it sure looks cute and funny :)

Also, I love the music!

ludevum 2017-12-21 16:10

I like the interesting mechanic! The music is good too, though the game could use some sound effects.

basecase 2017-12-22 15:33

Cute! I get kind of a "The Incredible Machine" vibe from this. I'd definitely enjoy playing more levels.

unidaystudio 2017-12-22 20:11

lol Interesting mechanics! I liked! Good job!:D

Note: Very charismatic cat art! lol

realryanrogers 2017-12-22 21:18

Good mechanic! Would love to see this fleshed out even more

mrphil 2017-12-23 02:02

Great mechanics! I really hope you explore it more and make a full game using it. Maybe instead of a keyboard inputs some sort of aim and launching yourself using the mouse would give the player more control.

affinitychris 2017-12-23 02:03

I like the physics based mechanics - that leads to some pretty interesting level design!

gustavo-christino 2017-12-23 12:22

It took me a while, not too long, to understand how to play.

I liked the composition and also the possibility of silencing the game.

Applied physics brings fun, that was cool.

caroline-costa 2017-12-23 12:27

Playing this game was funny. I like music and playing with physics. :)
