Pretty fun little game. A little hard to control but, it didn't feel unfair. I felt like the difficulty made it more fun to play.

Developer

Thanks for your patience with the controls!

That is one hard to control little red ball!!! I liked the idea of controlling the ball through a path, collect the hearts and try to get to the end before time is over, but I got thrown off by some of the sounds. I didn't understand what some of them mean and some were also very loud...

Nonetheless, it's a good game, especially the mechanic (can cause rage quitting, but, that's ok lol)!

Keep up the great work!

Thanks! The sounds are supposed to be birds and other nature sounds. I guess some improvements could be done here :) The controls definitely are tricky.

Bloody ball didn’t want to go left. I guess I learned the power of perseverance? Haha. Nice man. 3D in JS is no easy feat, good work

Developer

Thanks for playing! I know controlling the ball in 3d is horrible. This is more a demo than a game I guess.

Nice game and I really like the graphics. I did notice though that the time never stops once it reaches 0 it will continue to count into negative values.

Developer

Thanks for playing! This is true, time can get negative. There is however nothing wrong with that, it is just a bit unconventional :)  I guess most people expect to get a "Game Over" message once time reaches zero.

Nice visuals, got a nice feel to it.

The project isn't good at handling frame drops, which causes the ball to spike a lot when I was playing.

Developer

Happy you like it. Agree, the frame rate is a serious issue. I noticed the spikes too. However, finding the reason behind the spikes is not straightforward.

I guess that's the downside of using JavaScript... it's really inefficient compared to other languages.

Neat little game, you could easily fly of the map though when just pressing the mouse button :D  

Developer

Thanks for playing my game. Yeah, I know about the problem you point out, and agree that it is annoying. At least you won't get any points when you fly off :)
