Playing on my own, once the second was introduced my brain went into meltdown. For something so simple, it's done well and looks nice. When a ball gets stuck between them both it hurts my ears. I'd like it if that didn't happen haha

ARGH. Got down to 4 seconds with 3 balls once. Game is fun, sound made my ears bleed.

The first 10 seconds is fun but I don't know how it's supposed to be even close to possible with 2 balls! :/

Really good concept and use of the theme. Its really hard with just 2 balls going. Great job!

4 Seconds with 3 balls? I'm happy when I can handle one ball. I had to give up when the second one came in. The game is really funny and the art is appropriate for this kind of games. Very good job. Will check it out on my phone tomorrow.

A really neat little game. Not much to it, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Wow, that gets hard very fast. I'll have to try this out with a second person on the other set of keys. Cool idea, and well-executed for only having a few hours to work.

Bug: ball can get stuck in the (down left) corner
Love the minimalistic art. The sounds fit as well. It is too hard if you play it alone when the 2nd ball comes in, though.

Simple and quite challenging for just one player

It is actually kind of mesmerizing. I thought having one ball in the air was challenging enough and then another one came down. I think this game is meant for co-op which I guess is possible.
