Some nitpicks: When I first played this game, I thought it was buggy because it scrolled through the entire course and I though I just wasn't able to start! You should make it move faster. Even better, move it so fast the whole thing just blurs out. This makes the player anticipate the game, and he doesn't know what's coming.
You should also consider adding more incentives to play. For example, a score system, or lava that's slowly rising up. After all if I know what's on top, why the hell would I go through all this trouble just to get up there if I could just stay below?

I win! Made it to the end and had fun doing so.

Good game.

At first I was very sceptical since it looked half-finished but when I started playing it was actually very fun! The physics are great and I love that it's not about how many moves you do but just about getting up up up. It's a very satisfying feeling just pushing the ball upwards through the blocks.

I think the ray behind the ball is very nice and would love to see the rest of the graphics in the same style. It's a bit annoying that clicking sometimes highlights the page.

Pretty fun game. I ended up just spamming clicks and flying through but it was enjoyable to interact with the physics. I didn't really notice much in the way of a challenge but still fun to bounce my way through the level.

Good job!

This was short but great! +1 for the mute button.

Haha, it was awesome to break through everything! Too bad there is no challlenge, but I had fun with it. :)

Nice. Some sort of time pressure (@madhoe's suggestion of rising lava is a good one) would have made it more interesting. The fact that you can move even when airborne makes it a little easy to play.

Fun game with cool physics. I also like how it scrolls through everything at the beginning and the tail on the ball to show the path.

I love the mechanics of control on this one. Pretty innovative.

Weird gameplay on mobile but it was fun enough :)

Great game. I had way more fun than I anticipated.
For me going up alone was motivation enough. But it was very hard to fall back to areas which I already climbed.
Sometimes I couldn't "reload"
The music was also quite catchy!

Pretty fun. Felt a little to easy though after I realized I could just keep clicking to fly. Maybe there should have been a longer cooldown between jumps? still pretty fun.

I'm really glad I decided to rate "just one more game" in Ludum Dare. :-) This was really fun and tricky & I do like a squidgy synth soundtrack. Nice work.
