Sometimes, every sloped piece I got would face the same direction. Other times, placement of the gravity switchers would just be flat out impossible to deal with.\r\rThe bare concept is a cool idea, but I would ditch the random generation and put pre-defined levels in their place. Overall not that fun, but there's a lot you can do with the concept."},{"author_name":"Groydis","author_uid":"35367","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:48am","epoch":1418013780,"text":"I love puzzle games, my grandma and use to play them all the time when I was young. Sometimes she would let me cheat and make up my own rules just so I could beat her. Shes dead now. This game has a cool concept but it hasn't been implemented so well. The art looks pretty. Good Work."},{"author_name":"dokidoki","author_uid":"12261","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:51am","epoch":1418013960,"text":"It is a neat idea, but yeah, the randomness got to me. If I fail a level, I'd like to retry the same configuration if I see what I did wrong. That said, randomization means that if I can't solve one layout, I can probably solve another."},{"author_name":"ETHproductions","author_uid":"44122","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:24am","epoch":1418015940,"text":"It's a pretty nice concept, and the graphics and physics are great. But because the level randomizes itself each time the ball is run, retrying a run is not possible. For me, this takes away some of the fun-ness. I would suggest keeping the blocks in the same place until the level is complete."},{"author_name":"mahalis","author_uid":"46778","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:33am","epoch":1418016480,"text":"Interesting idea, but as a couple of others have said, the randomized levels mean you only ever get one try at a given configuration. It'd be more fun if it kept the blocks you had in the layout you had them and let you rearrange them to try to get it right."},{"author_name":"Somfunambulist","author_uid":"19074","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:34am","epoch":1418016540,"text":"I really liked it! It's fairly simple, and at times it can be hard to guess what the ball will do, but in general I had a lot of fun!"},{"author_name":"BKGH","author_uid":"9732","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:34am","epoch":1418016540,"text":"Graphics are good, and so are the concept, but the randomness needs to have some tighter restrictions so it's more fair. Sometimes it's just flat out impossible."},{"author_name":"daviosmash","author_uid":"44180","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:35am","epoch":1418016600,"text":"I like the idea, but it was a bit too harsh to get going! Nice job, either way."},{"author_name":"doitle","author_uid":"3578","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:36am","epoch":1418016660,"text":"Pretty challenging game concept. There are lots of flash based physics puzzlers on the internet, but I haven't seen one quite like this where the goal is to touch each piece. The fact that you can't do a trial run is tough but maybe you intended to make it difficult like that."},{"author_name":"rabbit","author_uid":"26967","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:36am","epoch":1418016660,"text":"Retry doesnt actually retry the level but gives me a new puzzle? You arent giving me a chance to learn from my mistakes really. \r\rAlso, on level 2, i just couldnt move blocks anymore."},{"author_name":"Phaax","author_uid":"45523","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:37am","epoch":1418016720,"text":"Fun and simple! I think it's ok with random, just set the random seed to generate the same level when you reset. (And have an option to generate a new level perhaps)"},{"author_name":"Kate Kligman","author_uid":"27059","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:42am","epoch":1418017020,"text":"I had some issues running it initially on Mac \/ Chrome, but after using the flash menu option "Show All" I got it working. \r\rOverall, it's a fun puzzle concept, I like the mechanics, and the sound effects mesh well. I'd love to play something like this on a tablet during an early morning commute."},{"author_name":"scriptorum","author_uid":"17811","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:55am","epoch":1418017800,"text":"I'd like to be able to retry a failed level and some of the blocks were occasionally hard to grab, but overall an enjoyable concept."},{"author_name":"t4u","author_uid":"34334","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:56pm","epoch":1418057460,"text":"I liked the idea but why is it that if you fail you cant repeat a level?"},{"author_name":"LMT","author_uid":"25578","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 8:59pm","epoch":1418072040,"text":"A really nice simple physics game. Nothing more, nothing less. I can see the theme in it but if you asked me what the theme was I would never guess it."},{"author_name":"ceosol","author_uid":"34411","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 11:25pm","epoch":1418080800,"text":"I love the gameplay. I think it is very unique in a sea of platformers :)\rI think would do well post comp. One change is that the ball feels very heavy. With so many straight\/sharp edges, some of the random pieces make it impossible to hit all of them. I do like that you kept it all on one screen, but having to scroll down to hit the play button made me miss some of the action up top."},{"author_name":"FerraWare","author_uid":"45480","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 5:08am","epoch":1418101380,"text":"Pretty cool concept, but I didn't really like the gravity and randomness. I think if the ball moved a tad slower, it would be better.

I can't imagine though why you don't let the player replay a level if you fail.
