This is amazing, so glad there are people doing this kind of thing just for the fun of it. Great idea and execution.

#52I love a simple idea pushed far beyond expectation. It's a little choppy on my phone, though (Firefox Android).
Doesn't seem to work at all on mine (also Firefox Android).
Re: Slide to Unlock
#53What's annoying and counter to popular convention / user expectations is that you have to keep your finger in the established path to keep grip of the "ball". (S'pecially given your finger often blocks the view of it).
I'm not sure that the game would work without this restriction. If you kept grip of the ball regardless of if your finger was on the path none of the game's puzzles would work since you could just move your fingers wherever you wanted without losing the ball.

#54It's like traversing a bad "mega menu."
Did you know that "double-click" on early Windows literally meant "click the same pixel twice in rapid succession"?

#55Just finished this game. Great fun and a genuinely unique game amid a sea of mobile shlock.

#56Nope, I don't get it sorry, this is so infuriating. A gamified version of all the frustrations I have with mobile UX and my fat fingers.
I get it. A gamified version of all the frustrations I have with mobile UX and my fat fingers exaggerated to absurdity. Personally I take it as art, not as a game. I won't play it for more than 3 minutes.

#57Doesn't work well on phones though, you really need a tablet. When you get to 4 fingers, it starts randomly losing track of a finger or two when fingers get close to each other. I tried two different Android phones and an iPhone.
I was unable to get past the second 3 finger one. It kept glitching out when I put down my third finger.

#58Made it to 3 fingers and then couldn't advance as my phone interpreted a 3 finger swipe as a screenshot. I'm counting it as a win since I learned a new feature of my phone!
Had the same problem at first, but moving one finger before the others made it work.
At four fingers my phone can't do it anymore. It seems that it can only detect 3 pressure points at a time.

No, that's not what it meant. You had to click on the same icon twice, which was typically 32x32.

#60Unconventional, but I played this both solo and with my kiddos. As a multiplayer co-op game it really shines. Granted it's easier than solo, but maneuvering multiple people around a tiny phone was absurdly funny.
