Simple platformer with "stress" mechanics.

Guide the ball to the finish.
You can move and jump.
But beware, when you stay too close to deadly traps, the ball will get stressed and start acting "frantically".Screenshot_5.png

Good Job! I loved the graphic and the stress parameter!

Good work! I like how the traps are colored brightly red and the idea is really unique! The sound effects are great but get annoying quickly. :)

I think I found a game with a character that wants to kill himself more than mine. Fun game, responsive, I kinda wish the ball had some googly eyes though. :)

i like this a lot. the stress add's an interesting element to it. very well executed. the checkpoints were nice so i didn't have to start too far back again. really well done.

Good concept, though the lack of ability to move when jumping and relying solely on momentum makes it a little frustrating to jump over things

I liked. I like the idea, I loved the little sound the ball makes and I think is a good challenge. Good job!

My only problem is I became emotionally attached to the ball and was so sad when it brutally died. :'(
Fab little game, great sound effects and some solid artwork!

Love the stress level that make you do the little scare jumps.
To enjoy it a bit more I would have liked to have a faster dying screen to keep the game at a faster pace.
Overall great work !

I really like the stress mechanic, the game il maybye too punishing sometimes and the match with the theme is quite obvious but very good work overall !

Mechanic is great, nice idea. It works well. It's just too hard for me, but it's not really a default, because it's logical with the gameplay mechanic. Nice game !

Really fun game and concept !
The stress feature is very nice, and funny !

Sincerely, there is nothing more to say, the only thing I can say on the negative side, is that it misses a music background to add more value to your game.

Overall, good job !

Nicely polished! Generate about 200 more levels, add some skins, and toss it on the app store.

Interesting take on the theme, and the stress mechanic elevates the gameplay. Very cool :)

Isn't a stress ball supposed to relieve stress, no make stress. Great game.

Fun little game with simple but nice-looking graphics. I will say that hard platformers and RNG controls don't particularly mix well :) but I managed to beat it! I think decreasing the time from death to respawn would be an improvement. Nice entry!

Stress mechanic was a nice twist. Loved the rhythmic traps and the color choices. Had some issues climbing vertical walls, and wouldn't mind the death restart being faster. Died a lot and had lots of fun. Good challenge. Nice jam!
