Use of the limitation
You are unable to move the ball directly. However, you can plan ahead and put springs which you should use to get the ball to the end of the level.

The minimalist art style actually added a lot to the experience. It put me in the proper puzzle-solving mood for physics based puzzles and this one was good fun.
I don't know if it's just me, but I had a really hard time playing, it was confusing at first, and also difficult to play.
The presentation and design is pretty good, although the fonts on the starting menu could have been improved, everything else from the game page and art is consistent and appealing to the eyes.
My feedback is to make the game beginner-friendly and maybe have a tutorial level considering the difficulty of the game.
Anyways, congrats on finishing a game! Well done!
Really visually stunning game and I enjoyed the chilled out music. Although the instructions were clear I did find it quite difficult to get past the first level, even after finding the checkpoint. As MegaMelone suggests below, if you can ease players in a bit more off the start, you are onto a winner
I fully agree. Thank you so much for the feedback.
A nice twist on the jam's limitation and theme, I really like the ambiance and music. Although I feel like the game doesn't start off simple enough to gradually get the player into the mechanics. It more so feels like the game just springs itself onto the player if that makes sense. Makes for a high barrier to entry but once I fully adapted to the game I did find it to be a really clever puzzle game!
Yes you are absolutely correct about the steep learning curve. I was planning to make first few 'tutorial' like levels, but ended up not having time for it. But thank you for that feedback, it confirmed what i assumed. Much appreciated.
Nice game and level design. However, I found that not being able to re-edit it without restarting was tiring, and I couldn't get past level 2 or 3.
:D
Thanks for the comment. However, have another try. You are able to re-edit. You can place, move around once placed, or remove them. You can no longer re-edit, once you get the ball rolling(pun intended)
Yeah, I meant after testing to see where the ball will go, you cannot re-edit, but you have to restart.
Since your feedback was actually somewhat showing me that the game is broken if the springs reset every time, i modified it. Please have a look and tell me if thats what you meant.
