The graphics are nice, gameplay is super simple but i like the card idea. the camera crashes out hard after u get too big tho. overall decent experience

That was fun, but at first I didn’t realize that the cards could be used — and when I finally did, one of them somehow broke my controls and I couldn’t move anymore.

Not a bad premise, but sort of implodes on itself as you get larger, and not in a good way. The physics are such that you get to the point that you can easily absorb huge swathes, what feels like the end run as the game shouts "Finish it" at you, but bumping anything larger than a lone gnome brings you to a complete halt, none of the speed or mobility cards have any effect anymore, and you just kind of get stuck vaguely bouncing back and forth picking up one piece at a time, just when your gnomic rampage should be hitting its crescendo.

Unfortunately, that leaves the game to end on a grating note rather than a triumphant one, and lead me to the alt-f4 escape hatch.

Fun to roll around. Unfortunately some of the card effects caused my ball to get stuck, so I couldn't continue.

Loved the concept of collecting things and the cards. Loved the music. Loved the gnomes and the gnome puns.
