What players say
Extremely short indie-style game from back in the day, that has you traversing different cool-looking environments. The game is not difficult and there isn't much puzzle-solving but there's something charming and relaxing about it. That's where the game really shines, so I would recommend the game, if you're looking to just chill and take in the visually appealing environments, and also just the novelty of rolling...

A cute little ball game. One of the crappier ones with strange physics, more akin to Slickball than Ballance, but still pretty fun. Unless you're going for The Impossible achievement. Then it's not so fun anymore.
The game lacks variety, with repetitive levels and uninspired gameplay. Controls are clunky, making it frustrating to progress. Overall, it feels dull and poorly designed, lacking the polish needed for an enjoyable experience.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
