Cool concept. Automatically restart the level once failed could make the play smoother.

Developer

Thanks! yeah that might help flow

I love puzzle games, and this one in particular just hits the spot for me.


Runs fine in Linux using WINE

Glad to hear it works on linux

Really challenging. I agree with SpadeInTheDirt that a prediction system for the ball's path could be an interesting additiion.

I agree entirely but alas the 48 hrs. came and went in a heartbeat.

Cool game, maybe you could add a prediction system to see the ball's path in the future, but that sounds difficult to implement. I would say that maybe the physics could be tightened up but I kind of liked the physics since it made it more challenging with timing moving the platforms. I liked the idea and the levels each offer different neat challenges. Good job : )

Developer

Thank you so much! Yeah the prediction system was definitely a good idea I had but in the end that is way too much for 48 hrs.
