Cool game

Unrelated to the game real quick If anyone can't get it to load, I've been having problems with newer Unity games loading on LDJam but that Itch link worked just fine!

On the game, rolling sound effect wasn't looping very well and at first I thought it was a bug. The rolling control feels ok until you hit an obstacle, then you can never regain enough control to continue playing. EXCEPT when falling straight to the goal, finished in 20 seconds :sunglasses:

Very fun! Reminds me of the old hamsterball game I used to play. After a couple tries, I was able to leap from the top and land straight at the bottom, which was exciting

A fun game and the bleachers at the beginning reminded me of jelle's marble runs which was a nice touch

I love physics based games, and this was perfect for a jam, well done :)

Fun! Can win pretty easy by just flinging yourself down the stage. Wish the obstacles were a bit bigger or brighter so they would be easier to see.

A pretty fun little ball rolling/racing game. Some check points would have been a good idea, and the music is super quiet. Overall a pretty well made, and fun little jam game. Well done.

Pretty fun! Super monkey ball in hell :) Like other players I couldn't resist the temptation to hurl myself off the edge to get to the bottom as quickly as possible - I couldn't beat the sub 18 set by @farzher though :D

The sound does seem a bit messed up on web - maybe the executable solves this? Liked the lava effect.

@plidomo I am glad you liked the lava! I opted out of art because I didn't make all assets, but that was something I did make from scratch.

Fun and addictive game. Started cheating by falling directly from the top to the end and it didn't pay out.

Won in 01:18, yay. I love the graphics, the scenery, and that you made the camera always look where it should be.

First few minutes I wasn't sure what is the point, the obstacles and edges were easy to avoid and the descent seemed infinite. Then I remembered to try speeding up with W and that created some high adrenaline fun with jumping after hitting obstacles, and also accidentally made me discover that simply cutting paths by falling down is the best way to win, though it still took me a few deaths. It was interesting, good job.

I like the fact we can just fall and reach the end. Its fun and I feel smart as a player. I won in 1min26, but it's possible to be even better.

Such a fast-paced game.The nostalgic visual style reminds me of Mario 64.

Very fun game and I loved the concept. Great execution on the theme too!

This gave me Marble Madness flashbacks

This game reminds me of those instagram reels where I always choose the wrong marble, but this time it's in my hands! Congrats

got a solid 19.04, so i'm happy. fun concept, would love to see more levels and maybe boosts and some invisible walls lol. very good job!

The classic 3d ball controls kind of game! The game is simple but engaging enough to keep me playing until the end, I found that I can jump down and as long as I do it right can land on a platform below and continue from there. Nice!

haoro 2025-04-15 20:54

The concept is interesting ! I feel like having way more control over the ball would be even more enjoyable 😁

papaver 2025-04-25 10:27

Fun mechanics to play with! Some obstacles were a bit small and dark. It was fun to try to jump to a level below, butalso a bit unpredictable how I would land. After quite a few tries, I got to the finish with a combination of rolling and falling down in 1:06,02

Well done! :)
