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.
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!
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!
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! :)
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!
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
Excellent visuals. I love the title screen. Going from black and white to color was really cool. very polished. great music. very rewarding to beat. lol great potato model. very realistic textures haha.
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
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!
Wow, this is an Amazing first entry. 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! :)
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.
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.
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!
"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
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.
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!
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.
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...

Great work!
But game good. The sound for the bonus scare me :p
Let me see... is there something I didn't like? Maybe the font, that's it.
Congratulations!
Bah! Surprise potato!
