Fun game! As others have already said, a speed up button would be nice. Also, the difference between red and gray transparent arrows get very hard to see if you're colorblind. Maybe you could change something to make it easier to differentiate in the future. But I liked the concept and I think with some more rules and a bit more polish, it could be a really chill game!

Game is cute, with nostalgic presentation that reminds me of games on miniclip. But it was a little slow, would've benefited a lot from a faster ball

ButlervaniaGreat concept and so much potential. The game can be even more interesting to play if the speed of the ball can be faster after the player has built the level to ensure a quicker and timely feedback. But the overall game experience is good. Well done!

Protect the Gold!I like the game. Great concept, and quite fun. It also has a lot of potential to continue making new mechanic.
The transparent is not my favorite though, I expected a hard-to-guess, not a hard-to-see. If you want to make red and normal arrow hard to differentiate, I think you may want to mess with their color instead, like turn them into a same color for a sec then turn back.

Reversed Florpy BirbVery confusing haha but a lot of fun. It is a little slow watching the ball do its thing though, I wonder if perhaps it would be more fun if you had to press the keys as the ball is already going, maybe even make it like and endless runner. The core idea is definitely sound.

MISSION TO EARTHThis is so simple in a genius way, and I didn't expect I would get so nervous as the game progresses lol great difficulty curve. My only comment is that it would be cool if parts of the hud could be more stylized (like, for example, avoiding the rules box from getting over the box with the instructions, and if the boxes didn't have a background, or have one that felt in line with the theming. Overall, cute and quite surprisingly challenging game. Great work

Baddest of them allMy best guess is that it could be the Unity UI system, because depending on how you set the Canvas it can or adjust to the size of the screen, follow it's proportions, or the sizes are kept and scaled down or up depending on the size of the screen (I know from experience, unfortunately lol). But if I remember anything that can help with it, I'll let you know
Great game ! Becomes especially interesting when the rules start to add up !

Buffer OverflowReally awesome game! Really fun brain exercise! I only wish the ball moved faster.

Space InvaderFun game, ball could be faster and timer really needs to end early if you've finished all the placements. Great job :)

The Adventures of Radish Boy 2This simple concept makes for a shockingly fun game. Great jam entry!

Weighed and TreasuredI think you have a good idea, with some improvements to the same mechanic it will be great: Be able to start rolling earlier and make the ball faster for example

GMTK23 - Hand of the NinjaFunny puzzle game, the mechanics and level design offer a good challenge! Nice job!

Thief RedemptionVery cute game! I thought it would be easy, but you get confused really fast and its challenging! One thing I would improve is the speed of the execution, the ball rolls too slowly, also a sign on the step above while the ball rolls, so you know where you messed up. Congrats for the submission!

MooReally nice concept. I was fine with the ball speed. I do agree with others that making it faster would be better but the transparent arrows were more of an issue for me. I didn't really get the point. The game was really fun and had the right amount of difficulty to keep me hooked. Keep up the great work! :D
