Graphics and audio are great for this style of game.  I had the ball get stuck barely rolling once and turning didn't affect it. It also seems that balls can go through walls if rotating the board fast enough.  Even with those issues, this is still a pretty great game!"},{"author_name":"Josh Riley","author_uid":"14165","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:19am","epoch":1408940040,"text":"So pretty! I really love the simple controls, too.
