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.

Cool game! I found it tough but fun, the ball is very bouncy :)

Definitely one of the best versions of this take I've see so far.

Hope to see mark talk about it :)

Hands down to level designs, it brings out all of the possibilities of the game. Gravity is kinda confusing but it made the game more interesting! Great job!

Very Polished and preatty and I really like the difficulty!
Cool game!

I like it! The use of bouncing ball in player-controlled environment is such a smart yet simple idea.

Controlling the level, not the character is a cool idea! It requires the ability of both planning and precise control. I really enjoyed it!

Beautiful, simple, fun, addicting!  The gameplay is delightful and perfectly fits the theme - surprising how much depth you got out of extremely simple movement and physics, especially with each level's new mechanics.  These swinging gates are kicking my butt haha

Really solid idea and super fun!

Wonderful game! I loved the visuals, and the mechanic is fantastic! It can be little hard sometimes though.

Interesting idea. The physics feel kinda weird and inconsistent or maybe I just don't understand how the ball is supposed to move but it can feel a bit random and frustrating at times. Clean presentation. Good job on your submission.

Probably the best concept i've seen in this jam :)

Very cool! Good graphics, presentation, everything works good! I really liked playing even though it was confusingXD

Submitted(+1)

That's very cool! It's very well done and polished!

Submitted(+1)

It looks good and the idea is simple, yet solid. I feel like theres something off about the physics though as the ball movement seems kind of random? Maybe I just dont get it, but it was pretty fun nonetheless.

I love games with physics like this one. It adds a lot of variety to a game even with a handful of moving parts. With some more levels, this could be a complete package.

The interplay between gravity pushing you down and the ball bouncing up makes for some interesting moments. Nice job!

Submitted(+1)

Nice job putting this together. Really well polished and fun. The spike traps were really challenging. Sometimes I wish I could spin the world faster, but maybe that would cause more issues than solve lol. Well done!

Cool! The game is fun and well polished, with a clean art style. The physics feel a bit inconsistent. Well done!
