This kinda felt like super monkey ball. I just wish it had sound and possibly controller support.

This is pretty rough. The vertical camera sensitivity is lower than the horizontal sensitivity for some reason, so the camera is hard to control. The ball goes careening away at the slightest push of a button, so the ball is hard to control, too. After the main menu, the mouse disappears, but it doesn't get locked to the window, and it doesn't reappear for me to be able to see what I'm doing when I try to click replay. And, when I click replay, the game just quits anyway.

Procedural generation is cool, but I would've liked to see the map be able to move in more than just a straight line.

Highest quality, do approve.

Obviously you made this in 72 hours, so it's not going to be super professional, but I found it a bit hard to play for a few reasons. There were a few weird glitches --- one time removing a platform completely randomly, causing me and all the red balls to fall to our death --- and the camera was weird in that it was inverted on X but not Y.

Nice job for the team --- **you made a game!** --- definitely continue to practice and enter jams and you'll be pros in no time.

Let me know when silver ball is confirmed for smash ultimate.

I think a royalty audio track would have done a lot for gameplay. It's hard to just play sitting in silence. Decent number of bugs, but the idea is there, and with a full set of configuration options (I had a hard time with the inverted mouse vertical) on top of bug fixes I think it would be fine!

Note: we ran into issues with WebGL as well and had to remove our main menu to get a build to work in browser. Are you guys using Unity 2018.2?

@phearbot hey thanks for the feedback! I recommend listening to this while playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6W1v9VRtss. Yeah we did update to Unity 2018.2 right before the jam. Think its a bug introduced with the new version?

Except the WebGL build being broken XD I'll have to wait.

Well, I played a little and it was fun, but as stated above, there are some bugs. I also could not restart the game without closing the app and re-running.

All of this is ok though... it's a great start, and I think with a bit of work, this can be a great game. You have a decent core, just... get to work! :smile:
