How does your game fit the theme?
In usual puzzle platformers, the character gets full freedom of where to go, because the player controls the character. However, here the role of the player is reversed from controlling the character, to the enviornment.

I really liked the presentation, it looks very clean. I found a bug on two levels where I would hit the spikes and not restart the level; I kinda liked it a little bit more when that happened. Given how difficult the controls are, dying to the spikes felt really punishing sometimes. The ball bouncing also felt a little off, especially when it would appear to get stuck on a wall or ceiling. Great work.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback. I think I’ll try to make the game more forgiving and have more intuitive movement next time.
Super nice, I loved how bouncy the ball was. Even though it's quite obvious how to solve the puzzle it really takes some skill to actually get there, well done!
Enjoyable, I liked it. The ball's physics felt a bit weird, I couldn't put my finger on it. I think I would like to try the version where it loses energy and I can get it to rest on a surface, but it was still good. Nice concept for a jam game.
Really good game, very polished, I wish the ball always bounced how I would expect it to but it's fine. The levels are all super unique and very fun, difficulty was fine for me, the last levels took a few tries but I ended up getting them all (especially level 6 as you can see by this pic here). Nice submission!
Nice game! Sometimes controlling the ball seems a little odd, don't know if it's only my impression. Anyway, great job!
Honestly, the funniest submission i've been playing ! I was really involved in getting the key and managing to guess where my ball would go next. Thanks for this experience !
Although so very chaotic, I always felt like when I died it was my fault due to having just enough control. Bravo!
A very solid game! The soft design aesthetic gives it a very cool touch. Also the sounds are a perfect match.
It's easy to understand and that the tutorial is included in the game and pops up when it's time is very much appreciated in this gamejam where you have to go to the pages to read a text to understand the game.
Maybe the only thing I would change would be that the rebound of the ball would have realistic physics and momentum in the rebound, instead of always bouncing with the same intensity, which makes it difficult to control sometimes.
Overall it is a very complete work, congratulations!
Damn this is basically a better version of an idea I had in my first GMTK LOL, great gameplay and visuals. My only problem was the ball feeling a bit odd like it bounced too much felt RNG to control sometimes. But of course you can't get a jam game perfectly polished anyway. ended up getting stuck around lvl 5. great job tho!
The graphics look very clear and the gameplay is simple and interesting. There is a lot of room to keep adding new mechanics to this one. My only complaint is I felt the ball bounced a little too much, making tha make actually very hard.
The game is great anyways, congratulations!
Very cool game! I could imagine it as a full-fledged mobile game with touch controls :) There's a lot of room to add polish and feedback (like ball squishing on impacts and stretching mid flight), but the style is already pleasant. Nice.
Very fun mechanics! Love the simplistic style to it as well. I got very addicted to it so I'd love to see how it can be expanded with more variations.
Wow! A lot to love here! Concept is super fun and really well executed, love physics puzzles like this. Ball was indeed a tad bouncy like the feedback says and was a bit tricky to control but the level of polish and execution of the idea is top notch!
I quite like the presentation here. It's so minimalistic and clean. Overall it was pretty cool, though at times the ball controls is ways that don't entirely make sense to me. Other than that it was fun and not too challenging. Nice job creating your own music too!
The ball feeling too bouncy is my only issue, but I realized in the later levels that I think it was my own fault it was too bouncy! It was just hitting the level as I was moving it so it bounced more! Great execution of a great idea. Really enjoyable overall
Pretty fun if not a little nauseating (which I've experienced for all of the rotating platform-ball games I've played so far), liked the mechanics like the doors which I haven't seen elsewhere; just wish the ball wasn't so bouncy
This game is very simple but it works well ! I thinks this is a little issue with the physics of the balls when you turn in one direction or the other one, the ball is like floating ? I Think ? But this is game is fun ! A Good game for a Jam :D
That was quick and enjoyable. I liked the sound effects and the music very much as well. Good job!
I really enjoyed this, it left me wanting more. I only encountered one bug and I’m not sure what caused it but the spikes in level 6 stopped killing me. That didn’t affect my enjoyment though, so good job!
Very nice work, challenging, but fair levels and overall very polished.
