This was a really cool take on marble maze level design. The way the bumpy terrain had been generated from the images was really interesting, and in some cases also led to very neat movement puzzles. However, in some other cases the source images were a bit too noisy and as a result navigating to the goal felt more like rolling over a randomly uneven terrain. I think with some more guided design this could make for a very cool variant of the usual marble-navigation.

Absolutely love the topography and seeing what AI created here. Very interesting concept! Good old rolling ball taken to the next level for sure.  Sometimes it was bit hard to see the actual ledges but that didn't bother too much. Fascinating!

WOW! The old “rolling ball” puzzle, but you started with AI generated images and made altitude maps from them - and the ball now has to navigate them. 

Nice use of AI, nice challenge, I can tell you put bumpers in certain places so the player doesn’t just fall off the map which tells me this was crafted - not just copied and pasted. This is a good example of how we can use AI as an assistant and NOT as a crutch. This is how AI should be used in my opinion.

My only critique, if you want to expand this, would be more labyrinth style layouts and maybe some enemies/hazards. I found most maps could be defeated by rocking the board steadily with the up and right buttons/motions. 

A fun experience and a nice example of how AI can be a helpful tool; and not just a support for lazy people. Also I always have to applaud solo devs - it’s a challenging plight and you did it. 👏

Cute game! Interesting to see what maps the AI generated. It's a bit difficult to tell on some levels where there are ledges though. Other than that, it's a nice and cute game. :)

Cool game, and really well done with only a day's work!  The game really lets you explore the textures of these AI images.  The topography of the first level worked really well for this tilt-ball game concept -- it felt like it had been designed with the game concept in mind.   I played through all the levels and especially liked the visuals of the final two.   The final two required me to really jostle the board around to get over some bumps, I felt like I was tilting a pinball machine :), but  it worked, and the second-to-last one in particular challenged me to try different ways to the goal.  Nice!
