Escape the evil Cuboids with your sneaky sphere in this adventurous physics-puzzler!
You are a Sphere, taken prisoner by the evil Cuboids. Try to escape. Avoid Enemies. Avoid being seen. Be sneaky. Be stealthy. Escape!
Features: - Asthetically interesting environment - Atmospheric soundtrack - Physics-based controls - A heartwrenching story about friendship and escape! - Highscore-system, so you keep coming back to kick more ass - Geometry-based adversaries and allies - Completely unrealistic glowing spheres. - The largest amount of story I ever put in a game
Controls: Arrow-keys - movement WSAD - movement M - mute sound R - restart level
Also uploaded, in addition to web- and windows-files: A timelapse of me building it and the soundtrack.
Don't know if it is supposed to happen, but when I pushed the guard into the spikes it exploded and sent me out the track. Then I went around by the planet and escaped in less than a minute...

I liked the music, but it does not loop. Things that could add: The movement is waay to smooths and it is not very clear whether you are seen or not. May be the bots could chase you if your are seen.
Really polished, but chugged a bit on my laptop, which made it a bit of a chore to finish. Dash of story really helped keep it interesting right to the end. Good job!
Great game! Absolutely gorgeous graphics, love the lighting. Music was nice, pity there weren't any sound effects! The controls were good but felt perhaps a little more sluggish than I'd like. I like the mashup of ball-rolling maze game and stealth action - great stuff! :)
Well this made me feel all nostalgic on the inside. Good mechanics borrowed and tweaked from very different games melded well into an amazing game.

The movement was too heavy for my tastes, but I guess it was fitting for an atmospheric type of game. You wouldn't really want to breeze through the environments because there's lots of eyecandy.
Your contributions to the community shouldn't be ignored either, you've written a couple of interesting blog posts and currently have the highest coolness rating on the site.
Very nicely done. Camera angles are a little too short and narrow at times. The combination of mechanics is innovative, but the basic concept (escape maze, roll ball) isn't. The controls are surprisingly smooth. The atmosphere/visuals is indeed great, even the short story.
Cool game! Graphics and music is nice too. No sfx yet, but it's understandable. What I didn't like was the ball movement is too heavy. It feels less responsive, perhaps add more pushing force? The visuals is unclear too sometimes. It's hard to see the guard's viewing frustum or to tell that the alarm had gone off. You can surely fix this given more time. And you have rated more than 100 games, already?! Kudos to you!
meh.. it's kind of lame. If you look past the physics, there's very little game left and since the physics were most likely just a precoded affair this game has very little to offer.
outstanding, considering the timeframe especially. really enjoyed it, looks slick as anything. also did you really rate all 598 games? yikes on a trike! double props!

I would have like a more zoomed out view. Aside from that, a great game.
"Incrediball" was my first choice of name. Unfortunately, there already is an incrediball-game.
