Good out of the box thinking, this is something I've been looking for.

There is a slight twitch on the ball when gravity is change but that's my only complaint.

Submitted

Fun physics game! I like the creative concept of the theme

Submitted

I am not sure about changing the theme with an homonym, but hey, the game is quite fun

15/15 Super creative, the difficulty ramps up, and the simplicity is awesome!

Submitted

Very creative take on the theme! Even with how simple it is, its so polished and the gameplay becomes very skillful once you start getting the hang of chaining together gravity switches. That one jump to the small platform was hard lol. Enjoyed this one a lot!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

the background looks like some tracks I would see on free rider, and the game idea is well executed

Submitted

fun game, pleasing visuals and i think the choice of ambient music fits the game's aesthetic very well

Very fun! Cool idea! I would play this all the time if it were a mobile game!

Simple but very creative and fun to play. I think I've never seen a game mechanic like this - one that affects how the physics works on slopes. Pretty cool gameplay, great job!

Submitted

The simple controls kept me hooked, and the minimalistic visuals fit the game well.

Thank you! Your visuals were beautiful as well!

Submitted

Wonderful one-button gameplay, very calm and polished, and I love the pun :)

Submitted

Pretty cool!

Submitted

So simple, so good. Amazed how this one button gameplay kept me entertain all along ! 

Developer

Thank you! Your game was super fun too :)

Submitted

Surprising how fun it is considering it's simplicity. I'm definitely taking notes from this game.

I really enjoyed how simple the control mechanic is, but yielded very interesting and fun gameplay. The music also gave the right chill factor for this style of gameplay and aesthetic. Nice work!

Submitted

Loved. Minimalistic style is great. At first seemed, mechanic is flat, but it's not)

Submitted

Really cool concept. Was a bit confused at first but not for long - the "ramp up" during the first stage helped the mechanic click into place :)  Hit the sweet spot for me in regards to an "easy-to-learn, hard-to-master" design, and the minimalist presentation made playing it oddly soothing. Great job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

I really like this game. I love when people have creative interpretations of the theme!

Developer

Thank you! Puns are always fun :)

Submitted

No idea how u did this in code, but really fun momentum based game. Love the simple visuals.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! 

Codewise, the actual mechanic is swapping the gravity and placing an invisible copy of the slope above the player, so that they roll down the invisible slope (because of the inverted gravity), which makes it look like they're rolling up the visible one!

Submitted

woahh thats super creative, never thought of this! great stuff

Submitted

Surprisingly fun and creative game! I really like how simple the controls are allowing anyone to pickup the game and learn to play it super quickly! Gives me early phone games vibes such as flappy bird and such!! Love it!!!

Developer

Thank you! Yours was fantastic too :)
