#33Absolutely love the sound design on this.
Me too. They’re all by my friend Max Kotelchuck. He made the sounds for /lander too.

#34Slick as silk! But too fast too quickly. Gimme some easy endorphin in the first few levels before I start struggling.
Agreed, perhaps it's easier on a mobile device but I found the first two levels after the tutorial way to fast using a touchpad and left a little frustrated :-( Easing into the difficulty slower sounds like a good plan!
I was on mobile and it felt like by the time I saw what was happening I was already losing. Very little reaction time available. I thought maybe it would be easier on a desktop, but I guess not.. maybe with a mouse instead of a trackpad.
Or maybe the author is going for the flappy bird effect. Make it punishingly hard, so players celebrate hitting level 4. But I didn’t have the same intant addiction as I did with Flappy Bird. Probably due to more complex gameplay and each level having 3 ways to play it.

#35(shameless plug) Another JavaScript you might like https://make210.com/ (I'm the author). Do "Restart -> Hard" for a challenge.

#36Looks neat... can't drag the ball in linux chrome (dragging works for me elsewhere), maybe I'll try later on my phone.
Same problem for me. MacOS/Firefox.

#39Kind of makes me think of the trip-out sequence you get on https://packardbell95.com/fortune/ after you drink the soda, if you pop all of the carbonation bubbles on the page by clicking on them, you get made fun of in a pop-up for wasting your time

#40Wow, incredible work! It seems quite novel to me and was super fast to learn and instantly fun to play! Did you consider wrapping it in a mobile mobile app to try and make a few bucks?
