Might be better to have several key configurations active at the same time so people can pick what to use. I like the aura around the orb and the momentum of the game, I feel like the tail of orbs following should follow closer though because that seemed like a nice touch but I didn't notice it until I got caught on something, and it was off the screen when I was at full speed."},{"author_name":"Hot Box Games","author_uid":"39707","time":"Dec 20, 2015 @ 11:03pm","epoch":1450652280,"text":"Fun little game, it was quite easy to get the ball stuck though. I found that the force down key wasn't very useful, I think a forward dash would have been more suitable - to go faster and to help you get unstuck easier."},{"author_name":"pkenney","author_uid":"30865","time":"Dec 24, 2015 @ 4:07am","epoch":1450929720,"text":"Nice job on your first LD, you have some potential here because it's a lot of fun to build up speed.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It really, really needs a restart button that is not on the mouse and can be pushed any time, not only at the end.  I would have played far more than I did if I could instantly reset the game when I took a hit and lost my speed.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The moment of failure for the player is that key moment where you want to think about how your game will avoid losing them.  In this one I feel bad when I get stopped, and then I have to dig my way out by jumping until I get unstuck and start rolling slowly again, and then complete the whole level, then lean forward off my couch to get the mouse and push that button, then I can lean back and play some more.  Sounds like I'm overstating it but it's huge imo.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Restart-button rant aside, I dig this entry.  The 3d perspective is cool and the difficulty kept me wanting to roll out just one more time."},{"author_name":"Afendar","author_uid":"54436","time":"Dec 29, 2015 @ 3:03pm","epoch":1451401080,"text":"Simple game but in the theme !
