Fun game! Would love to see it on a phone or tablet with tilt controls. The audio is great with a calming sound to keep you from going crazy from dying a lot. I also enjoy the addition of the impact sound effect once you go fast enough.

A very addictive game! Love the graphics and audio. Very educational, teaching mouse control. (that's the teacher in me :))

If I be honest, game is not balanced!
Levels could be easier at the first of the experiment.

I mean, it's a tilt maze puzzle, but done very well! I very much liked the ambient music and graphics, they really add to the whole experience a lot. It was pretty tough to finish it, but I did it (see highscore below.) The only critique that I have is that because of the camera angle it looks like the board kinda rotates further down then it does up, which threw me off a bit. So to say: the board looked like it was straight when I rotated it all the way up so the ball went upwards. Other than that I think it's a great entry, a simple concept implemented very well!

Fun:)

The implementation of check points was greatly appreciated! However I felt like the ball could have used some more drag and the colliders for the holes bit a bit more smaller, like the player should be able to ride over the holes to an extent before falling rather than touching it and instantly dying. Otherwise apart from that, it's a high quality game! Good work!

Thanks for playing! Fun fact, literally the day after uploading I redid the hole hitboxes and some of the gem hitboxes lol. I definitely plan on improving the movement going forward. Glad you enjoyed it

Theme: Holes. Check... check... theres a LOT of holes. Lots of fun, VERY precise! And looks awesome! Great job!

Well done!  Very fluid and responsive and functioned almost exactly how you'd want such a game to work.   

My constructive critique would be that A.  controlling the board tilt using mouse input  was a little non-intuitive and sporadic, I would've preferred WSAD or Keyboard - this is just a personal preference, and B.  It felt like the ball hit a trigger over the hole at which point the hole just "grabbed" it and pulled it in.  I would've liked if the holes were such that the ball actually had to fall in naturally with it's physics.   Other than that great job!

Developer

Glad you liked it! As for how the holes work, you are exactly right. There is a trigger that causes the ball to play an animation where it falls in. The reason for this is because it's super hard to get a proper hole without complicated mesh editing, plus I wanted to be able to place the holes anywhere I want and change them on the fly. A shader and a script fit this job. But I totally see the appeal of having real physics at work. Thanks for playing!

Good game and music, but the resolution was a bit off, other than that, good job!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! The resolution seems to be fine so I think that might have been an issue on your machine, but I'll check into it. Thanks for playing!

I love this kind of game! I used to have a real toy like this when i was a kid. Thanks for making this

Really cool game! I feel it might be a little too difficult to control the ball around some of the smaller areas that require you to be precise, though. The graphics felt like  they really pop! The ambient music was really nice, and soothing! Really good game!

No problem!

It was both relaxing and stressful at the same time, the game had me all tense as I move my mouse very carefully while the music tried to calm me down haha, I like the ambiance and the feel of the game, and the mouse movement control feels good and responsive, great job!

Game was chill and all, but I've been always bad at that game no matter if it's the physical version or a digital. Could definitely see this on a mobile platform using the gyro or something.
