It took me a while to understand how to move. The moving method is not the most common one so I would definitely add a \"how-to\" at least to the game description.\n\nBut when you realize how to move, the game actually plays fine and is a good fun for a while!

Since the balls don't move fast it is quite easy to tell what is going on.
