Didn't really hear the background audio and didn't want to raise the volume because of the sound effects.\r\rYou could've also made it so that the player doesn't need to rescue all the balls, but instead each rescued ball counted towards a common score, which determined how well the player completed the level (bronze - silver - gold for example).

I mean: if orange orb has possible connection with more than one world, all of them get connected to the orange orb, making synchronised spikes avoidance a breeze.\r\rAside from that, game is pretty cool, both gameplay and aesthetics wise. I guess it might work well with more levels, though the little control over the blue worlds might make things more frustrating than challenging (seemingly needing more luck than skill). I wonder how it would work with lock-on option, when relative worlds alignment would be preserved; it might reduce challenge in some parts, but introduce in others...\r\r(also, thanks for Madagascar; take some Greenland ;) )"},{"author_name":"cardboard","author_uid":"16294","time":"Sep 15, 2014 @ 4:43pm","epoch":1410799080,"text":"The mechanics are very interesting.
