My only complaint (and I this is just personal preference) is that it felt too slow: carefully setting each ball up and slowly making choices... I'd love to see a version of it that was more like Pachinko: lots and lots of balls that all affect the outcome a little each. So, dropping the ball would drop, like, 20 balls that bounces all over the place: some hitting targets, some getting eaten some not... and then being able to continue making moves before balls even finished. \n\nThat would make the game less strategy focused - but would make it more frenetic and arcade-y.\n\nAnyhoo, a really cool original idea and well executed.
