I should probably add that I can't consistently get under 18 yet though!

Lovely idea! and quite addicting. This could be easily extended

Epic. A triumph of modern indie game development. 6/5 stars.

30 Ah so its 18 did not get to that. :(

Excellent, very addictive!

I don't know if it's my monitor, but the navy blue is a bit hard to make out?

A fun game with an extremely simple concept, yet also very clever and addictive. I like it. Well done, sir.

Brilliant idea, incredibly tricky to predict :)

Very easily addicting. Got my high score down to 14, but I figured out I could rocket some of the balls into the stratosphere with a little careful planning. Although my browser doesn't seem to have liked that.

Fun little arcade like game! Reminds me of Hundreds.

Quite good fun! I sucked, my best was 30.

I think I spent 10x as much time playing this game as any of the others I've played thus far. Congrats! Very addictive.

Thanks all! Looks like I'm going to have to get a leaderboard on this thing.

Really clever concept! The simple graphics look nice too :)

As an addendum to my previous comment, I now -have- become addicted to this game, playing for several hours yesterday, and now I'm back again for more today. I WILL GET IT DOWN TO 3!

Fantastic!
That's a very clever spin on the matching puzzle genre.

Simple, yet so mesmerizing!

Interesting concept. It's a good begining, you have to finish this game !

Really innovative game. I love the idea behind it (although I'm not very good at it). Managed to get down to 45 and my boyfriend got down to 35 or so. Makes me want to try more. The only thing I would change would be to add a little bit of sound and to make the balls that are clickable highlighted very gently.

Very nice mechanics. Sometimes I wish the circle detection was just a bit closer/lenient, but other than that pretty good!

Clever, very minimalist, and incredibly addictive. Here's my stars ;)

Pretty neat game, really easy to get frustratingly stuck in places aha.
(Also you tried playing my game when it was down, it's up now!)

This is really awesome and addictive.

I like that there's a certain amount of tension that builds as you wait for the balls to roll off of each other to see if you have gotten a properly touching set.

I do notice though that it seems too easy for the balls to "drain" but not completely disappear. As a player I would feel cheated when that happened.

I don't think I've done better than 28 so far.

It's a really neat idea!

thanks Recursive frog : I'll be addressing that and the fact the absorbed circles still drop away while being absorbed- should make it feel more natural.

Nice idea! Gameplay is clever and requires some thinking and planning, I love that! :)
