I didn't really understand what was happening, it didn't seem like I could control the balls. It was pretty, though!

I was so incredibly confused at first, because I didn't seem to be doing anything. That's my fault though. After I re-read the instructions I understood. Not bad, but the graphical style doesn't really lend itself to clarity.

Potato mode FTW! I actually got an extremely high score before I read the instructions. Then after reading them my score started hurting. It's funny. Not doing anything, I got a high score somewhere around 7,000,000. When I realized I was supposed to click, I started getting game overs at 700,000 haha.

It took me a while to even figure out how it was interactive because there were so many balls on the screen that seemed to be content going up themselves. The green platforms turn out to be the worst ones to hit, because you lose the big group of balls you've collected.

Amazing graphics. I lost control after a little bit. Balls going crazy. Ahhh! (I fixed the link to my game if you want to check it out again.)

I do love a bit of particle porn, and that had plenty of it.
Really nice concept, a little tricky to get your head around at first, but worth the effort.
Impressed by it being in html5, also works nicely on Safari / OSX too.

This is hectic!, vibrant colors and really cool music.
Extra humor points for potato mode xD.

felt much more of a 'watch this pretty thing' than a game

Novel, but the amount of balls meant I didn't feel I had much control.

I like the style of game, seems for me a little Surrealist, haha. Great Job.

Very mesmerizing, but the lack of influence with the controls makes it hard to enjoy.

This one played by itself =) Really nice visuals, even though I had no idea what was going on.
