Nice to see someone else try a text description style game!

What could improve? The way of entering the option is a tad clunky, if you type in an invalid option it scrolls through the whole text again. (a way to skip the scrolling would also be nice, I'm sure that was on your roadmap anyway!)

What was done well? It's nice that you have a json defining all the links, which makes it easy to extend the story or make new ones. The descriptions were great, and you make use of the player's imagination quite well.

Very tidy!

I've got two suggestions, but both are pretty minor.

• The threshold for determining when the ball has stopped is a bit low. That is, it looks like it's stopped but I can't hit it for just a little longer than I'd like (probably I'm just too impatient :p)
• When the ball is near the edge of the screen, it can be hard to aim.  Possibly a border would help?

Also, I liked the graphics for the ball falling into the hole.

Thanks!  It does have the problem that you can't really refer to the rules part way through the game, but hopefully you don't need it by that point
