Use of the limitation
The protagonist is controlled by AI instead of the player. The player's role is to annoy the protagonist and make him get a low score. It is a leaderboard-game where your target is to get the lowest score possible.

The idea is good. But the balls didn't always work. the timer also does not work (But for the results table, respect
Clicking on the red spheres and seeing the character's annoyed sprite is oddly fun!
The highscore system is also neat, it does encourage you to try to beat your own score.
I do think that maybe the way Mr. Cube scores points could be improved?
It seems like Mr. Cube will inevitably score a point for each sphere in the game since all of them get shoved aside at some point, which makes stunning Mr. Cube aside from the point deduction feel insignificant.
Props to Mr. though, he is very good at prioritizing what spheres to push!
Thanks for the feedback!
I made the scoring system such that Mr. Cube will score a point for each ball he pushes off the edge. However, if one ball fell on his head, he loses 5 points, which will result in a net loss for each wave of balls. It is not a perfect system, but it does prevent him from scoring very high.
And yeah, I worked a lot on the AI of Mr. Cube :) Glad you liked it!
