This a very unique concept!
I know that with a bit of adjustment, it can easily become a pretty solid game.

As others have mentioned, I feel like an adjustment to the core mechanic of the game could use some work.

- Gameplay:
The first thing I've noticed is that it is very difficult to control the ball.
The first few things I would tweak would be the controls:

* I did notice that A and D can also move the player, while W cannot. Including W as well could make it easier for newer people to work with either controls (or to just remove A and D instead)

I would say the first step would be to reduce the "floaty" feeling that the ball has. Tightening the controls a little bit and making gravity a bit stronger (just a wee bit) can easily improve the feel.

You could also include an interactive main menu, so that the player gets used to the feel of the ball before starting their performance (could be considered the "rehearsal" before the gameplay as a cool idea)

A) You could easily incorporate a little bit of grace time in the air to adjust where you want to land, so that it's possible to aim or land on the far right platforms
B) Likewise, you could also make it so that the first words that you have to land on can only spawn as far as the ball can jump

- Visuals:
I will go ahead and say that the starting words on that background are clashing a little bit, making it a bit harder to clearly read the words. My suggestion would either be to add some outlines to make it stand out, or to change that base color.

I do see a lot of ways this game could go, but I think these fixing these main issues would improve the game substantially. Good luck out there! :)
