It might be one of the more obvious ways of fitting the theme, but you manage to pull it off well! I'm impressed that you managed to make so many good puzzles with relatively few gimmicks.

Cool game. Not the most crazy idea but it does it well. The player physics is way too sluggish and heavy which makes the puzzles a lot more annoying to solve than they should be.
Despite that, though, it's a pretty solid game, great job!
Nice concept, the minimalist DA fits it nicely. The puzzle were a creative exploration of the rules you created
I really enjoyed this game. The levels are unique, such that each one brings new challenge. The tutorial advised me to not get stuck. Spoiler: I still got stuck a few times. Great job!
The puzzles are well designed and challenging! I wish the momentum of the ball's movement was less gradual, as I had some instances where I was moving too slow to escape a red beam. I also wish it was easier to change direction while jumping. I found myself figuring out the layout of the puzzles before I figured out how to use the momentum properly. Although, I suppose that's part of the challenge too :)
Overall, cool puzzle concept with potential!
This style reminded me of the Red Ball games (more specifically the very first one). It's hard but fun. Nice job!
amazing job, love another ball themed game for this jam, very challenging!
Enjoyed the game, hard but enjoyable. Gave me impossible game vibes
Fun puzzler that is quick to understand. I got to level 8! I would of liked the ball to accelerate faster as when re-doing the same level it can feel a little slow. The movement is very creative and fun though!
