I really love your pseduo3d effect. This game hurts my hands a little bit as I'm older. It would be nice to spawn on mouse hold as well at some slow cadence. Great job!

They sure love to nap a lot haha, very neat idea and lovely effects. The simple aesthetics fit it perfectly well, marvelous work overall!

Thanks @coltonphillips @svenerik ! While porting to HTML, I discovered that the exe version had weaker pushers due to some bad frame rate dependency. In the HTML version, it looks fine—check it out if you haven't finished the game yet!

What a fun action/puzzle concept! Super good difficulty ramp, I was a bit worried that the levels would be too simple since we had no restraints on spawning the different creatures. But at the later levels, with the spheres, I realized it was more of an action-puzzler :)

The audio/graphics suited the game nicely, well done!

Very cool mechanic! It wasn't obvious at first you just had to spawn the creatures, or that you could have several.
Once you understand that it gets way more fun, and the levels are challenging! Nicely done!
Some background music could be nice to make this even more chill!

![Screenshot 2024-10-15 160942.png](///raw/975/e5/z/68ded.png) Nice game! Really like this innovatiate control of movement. But the 3D effect makes controlling the ball a little painful cause the center of the graphic is not the position where the force is applied to. It took me a while to figure out why the ball is always tilting to the bottom of the screen.

The game is really fun to play with! I really like how the game slowly introduces you to new mechanics and integrates them to make interesting puzzles. The sound effects also help make the game so much fun to just click around. Great job!

A genuinely fun game about balancing forces that keeps adding new mechanics, while staying true to the theme, really well done. The last level is way too hard and I could only solve it by luck, but still it was fun.

Nice little game! I especially like the difficulty with the ball, controlling its curve is really satisfying. The sound effects pair really well with it, but I did miss some chill bubbly music. Good job!

Simple but fun. I expected it to become boring very quickly, but their layout of levels was slightly spicy. Simple graphics work very well for the mood. Great entry.

Not really much fun with the block but the ball makes it more interesting.

Lovely puzzle game. I like how introducing the grey areas increased the difficulty by limiting where you can spawn the drops.
