A minimal game. There is a delicious surprise at the top. NOTE: at the top, keep bouncing up. When you go high enough you will get the delicious reward.

Very nice job. I got to the top. I think. I was expecting some sort of pat on the back when I got there though. Is there an ending, or do you just sort of roll off and do it again?

At the top level you need to bounce up to a certain height to win the game.

Excellent game! Graphics, sounds, and gameplay are all very well done.

Lovely surreal game. Harder than I first expected, but once I got the hang of it I found it very enjoyable. The sound effects were well-fitting and the ambient sound created a fantastic atmosphere.

Very pretty game! Very hard near the top!

29. Apr 2013 · 07:03 UTC
Someone said it was relaxing. I completely disagree. This game is nerve-racking! I love the dissonant ping sounds when you bounce. This is actually better than a lot of games I've paid money for. Great job!

Very pretty!
GAFBlizzard
29. Apr 2013 · 07:47 UTC
Verl well done and polished, but a bit difficult and stressful without checkpoints, knowing that at any time you could screw up and fall all the way back to the bottom. :( Still, good job with the theme and especially the audio!

Fantastic game! Would've loved it even more if it was a bit faster (or if it got faster with time).

Zen, peaceful game. Simple but effective.

I love the mood of this game. In contrast to it's relaxing appearance the gameplay made me almost seize due to the tension :)

THE LINUX VERSION MISSED THE DATA FOLDER. (but you can get it by downloading the windows version).

This is a pretty awesome game.
The game plays at a really nice pace, looks awesome and overall is a veryenjoyable experience.

rated 4 or 5 start on each catogory

This is quite lovely, I love teh aesthetic.
tompudding
29. Apr 2013 · 11:53 UTC
Awesome! Looks great, sounds great, and it's really fun. I like that hitting the edges of the blocks sends you off sideways, makes it that bit trickier.

LOVE the atmosphere and the aesthetics! Game is addicting and the music soothing but the gameplay might need some loosening up. One of my favs so far! :)

Thanks for rating PHILIP KLAS! Almost made it to the top, but hit one at a weird angle and went flying off the screen. haha! Loved the style though.

That is very nice! Reminds very vaguely my game, which also has a bouncing ball. :) (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-26/?action=preview&uid=66)

I like the lost life mechanic. Nice "inifite" feeling about the whole game. Something slightly awkward about the camera angle when arriving into a new level, be nice if it chased you up there. Sound is lovely chiming... murmur underneath contributes to the infinite space feeling. Good job!
Cyboot
29. Apr 2013 · 19:45 UTC
Ahhhh, finally completed it. I started getting a little angry after I fall down twice at the very last stage.

But great game, I really enjoyed playing it :)
The surprise was kind of predictable but I like the fireworks (remind me of my game ;))

Good Job!

29. Apr 2013 · 20:11 UTC
Great job. I honestly thought this would be a lot harder than it was! Something I would play a lot more of!
JohnnySix
29. Apr 2013 · 20:13 UTC
First one that deserves a five or two - the icing on the cake would be potato though, I mean, perhaps a difficult version where the player object is not spheroid but potatoid, and bounces randomly to increase the hazardousness and precariousness of the challenge. :D
maloki
29. Apr 2013 · 20:15 UTC
Nice! The sound matches the style very well. Simple, yet challenging...and relaxing, too!

Really enjoyable game mechanic- fits the minimalism theme strongly!
nintendoeats
30. Apr 2013 · 01:07 UTC
It looks super nice, has good audio feedback, and has a calming atmosphere. I got to the very top and fell off without getting what I presume is a potato or cake though. That was my fifth time getting high up and falling...I didn't want to do it again p_p

daydalus
30. Apr 2013 · 02:14 UTC
Really well done game, from the perspective, gameplay, sound effects, ambient music, etc. Loved how a bad bounce is a minor-key sound, a good bounce sounds pleasing. Gameplay did feel a little sluggish at first, but I got used to it and it felt relaxing over time. Nice work on this one!

It's beautiful, minimalistic. Te sound/music is great. It's fun to play not too easy or hard.
And then there's the end...
this is an incredible game! :)

Cool. Very relaxing. And minimal. Was frustrated at times by the side bounce. Liked the audio and sound, mechanics were great!

Really enjoyed this one! I'm loving how this theme brings so many calm, relaxing fun games. The best way to end a frantic jam.
LionelJitro
30. Apr 2013 · 03:27 UTC
I really like this.

Definitely embraces minimalism. It feel really polished.
Things like the white dot that shows you the x/y co-ords on the block you are on, the really smooth camera zoom in and out make it frustration free. Really cool game.
PsenFilip
30. Apr 2013 · 03:40 UTC
Simple mechanics heavily tied with good aesthetics and sound. Really smooth after I got the hang of the input.

Loved it! The audio cues felt great. And it was actually fun. I loved experimenting with how the ball interacted with each block and finding new tricks.

30. Apr 2013 · 05:14 UTC
The overall mood of this is amazing. The audio fits very well with the visuals. The sound played when getting to a new level is very rewarding.

Overall fun, the controlls seemed a bit stiff, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Liked the colors and physical interactions. The levels progressed nicely and didn't get too hard too quickly. (No speakers so no audio rating, sorry) Nice entry, much fun!

I got to the top platform, but couldn't bounce high enough to win. I'll likely try again later!

Excellent mood, the whole game feels very unified artistically. Good work!

great game. Sad that you couldn't get gamepad support in, specially with the tease of it accepting the 'A' button to start :)
Zed
30. Apr 2013 · 18:13 UTC
That was amazing. Really clever use of an interesting mechanic, great ambience, taught me about the subtleties of movement. And THAT REWARD!

I'm a better person for having played this game.

"hru" - the sound I made every time I fell down. But I kept going, I needed that delicious reward so bad! And boy, was it worth it! Such a delicious reward indeed. Omnomnom!
Really atmospheric game with a great art style that tricks you into believing it will be a relaxing experience. :D

Awesome game! Sometimes its really hard to aim ball properly. Really cool mix of sound effects and music.
ovenchips
01. May 2013 · 17:35 UTC
I think this is my favourite game so far. The level of polish is sublime. I guess the only thing I'd say is that sometimes I felt I failed simply because I couldn't gauge the perspective - if the ball clipped the side of a block, it was difficult to tell that I had to compensate to keep the ball in play. But minor criticism - looooooove it.

01. May 2013 · 18:28 UTC
Such a beautiful, vivid, surprising, relaxing piece of art. +100 points for the atmosphere.
petrocket
01. May 2013 · 18:38 UTC
I dunno why folks said this was relaxing, I kept falling off and so things got more tense the higher I got, though it was fun to play and the sounds were cool. I don't understand the color coding on the tiles. Anyways great job!
netmute
01. May 2013 · 20:33 UTC
Graphically and acoustically beautiful! One of the best entries I've played so far. My only complaint is that the controls are a bit unresponsive.

But game good. The sound for the bonus scare me :p

Aiming the spotlight and listening to the metallic bounce entranced me. The bounces forgave my inaccuracies and tend to go up. The subtle palette calmed me. If you continue to develop this, after reaching and falling from a high distance I was not motivated to repeat those platforms.

Really nice game that fits the theme quite well. Loved how the ball makes musical notes on every bounce.

Very relaxing yet fun and challenging. It`s good that you make me able to return to earlier levels, it saved me several times :).
Oh... I just stopped bouncing, and you sent me back to level 1. That wasn`t very nice. I could roll to previous level and regain the movement.
And I understood what do level names mean. But not the title of the game...

Nice idea but restarting from the bottom after each mistake is just too punishing!

This is cool, but as in so many games in this LD, I have no idea what I am doing... :)
