The minimalist graphics are wonderful, the subtle squash and stretch on the ball is satisfying, and the core gameplay is tightly refined. Nice work!"},{"author_name":"deadpixelsociety","author_uid":"3308","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 4:51am","epoch":1450068360,"text":"Just downloaded and tried the game.

Love the simple art, the colors are great. The sound, whether it's the soundtrack or sound effects, is messed up. I'm getting weird, glitchy, staticy sounds that shut off and on.

That last level was crazy, I had these wild swings all around the level, feeling barely out of control and screwed by my mistakes 4 seconds before.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I did have a technical issue with the sound.  It was playing some kind of loud static and I had to mute it.

I felt the last level was too easy and you introduced a cool crushing mechanic in the previous level that I think you could have expanded on.
