Found that out on my notebook. I tried a bit around and the lights are making a problem here.

Hopefully the next version will work better for you (and other).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Jeremias: The control change will be understandable later on. To bad that those thing didn't make it in time in the game. But the will show up at the next version.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@caranha: Good tip.Thanks.

Very odd decision there.

I think this concept could work but it needs to be faster.  It is very fiddly directing the balls movement.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I don't understand why the control system changes between levels.  As is right now the game isn't very fun but I really like the visual style.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>There was no sound when I played, I think some music would help in terms of mood and engagement.  And sounds to reflect what you are doing are great for feedback(jumping, collecting gems etc)."}],"images":["ld22\/5888-fff7a0c603b020606f7727c9dfc9d121.jpg","ld22\/5888-2b0fc8ca59e2de5f088f29fa4945f7d0.jpg","ld22\/5888-c960f80ba43d4da67b403c217b71216c.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/manuel-bellersen\/downloads\/detail?name=NotAlone_Out.blend","text":"Blender Source"},{"url":"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/manuel-bellersen\/downloads\/detail?name=NotAlone32.exe","text":"Windows 32Bit"},{"url":"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/manuel-bellersen\/downloads\/detail?name=NotAlone64.exe","text":"Windows 64Bit"},{"url":"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/manuel-bellersen\/downloads\/detail?name=NotAlone_Linux32.7z","text":"Linux 32Bit"},{"url":"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/manuel-bellersen\/downloads\/detail?name=NotAlone_Linux64.7z","text":"Linux 64Bit"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"31814","g_author":"5888","g_event":"LD22","g_eventkey":"8","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"31844","g_title":"Not Alone","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"638","g_commentcount":"12","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/87574\/5888-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/87574\/5888-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/87574\/5888-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Play using the source for Blender (so you will need Blender to play):\r\nhttp:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/manuel-bellersen\/downloads\/detail?name=NotAlone_Out.blend\r\n\r\nYou can get Blender from here:\r\nhttp:\/\/www.blender.org\/download\/get-blender\/\r\n\r\nor svn versions from here:\r\nhttp:\/\/graphicall.org\/blender\r\n\r\n(You don't need to install Blender.
