Good game concept. I managed to finish it. The control was good, but I think if you try to circle around the main mechanic and add more level components, it will definitely make the game even more fun.

The game is so relaxing, and if that was the intention behind it's design, then it's total success! There is almost no sense of urgency or intensity. However, it's lacking juice, you need to add lot of juicy effect for better player experience.

I'm sure your only problem was maybe due time, it takes time to get an idea for the game jam, not to mention developing it especially if you try new ideas , great job.

I never did get to play this tilt kind of game growing up in real life, so it's fun to get to play it now! Thank you for submitting!!

The only things missing from this fun and simple casual game is more levels, obstacles, and visual improvements.

Also, it would be nice to have a best time score, I believe that adding an online highscore for the best time will make the game more challenging.

Despite its simplicity, I think this is a good game concept that could be improved with high quality contents.

Nice entry! Something felt a little off about the controls but it worked well despite this. The music was fun and I liked the title screen art.

Well done!

Simple and fun! :) Made it to the end.. the music was ideal for the game, felt like I was at a carnival or something!

Thanks. :)  I spent a good chunk of Saturday composing that.  I was trying to make something that would fit in with 90's era platformers.

I beat the game I am so cool! Just kidding I swore so much cause I hated how bad I was at the controls. The game was fun, although some more content and mechanics could have made more interesting levels. Also, I couldn't move the camera around, only the plane for the ball, so I was guessing sometimes about the ball's location. I liked the game, nice job

Thanks.  I actually threw this together at the last minute after I decided the game that I'd already spent most of the week on wasn't going to be ready in time.  I would like to go back and add more levels.  I hadn't thought about letting  the user move the camera, but now that you bring it up, it sounds like a good idea.

No sweat, it reminded me of those infuriating breath of the wild puzzles. If you really did this last minute, then you have some nice skills

I did some experimenting and I don't think a player controlled camera will work - it's too hard to tell the difference between that and just tilting the board.  I did find a camera angle that I think works better, though.  Hope to upload after the jam.
