   The video intrigued me, looks like the kind of game I find fun.
   A few initial thoughts - the ending is SOO abrubt, and you'll be dying often it's pretty hard (which i like!)

   Also the way it moves is 1:1 per direction, like the ball has no inertia which would definitely make it harder (unless some obstacles were removed to offset that) but also more fun. Having 100% aircontrol feels off.

   Is there no sound in the game? Maybe it was just me?

   I like the ingame graphics a lot, and the gameplay is pretty tough which like I said i am a fan of. Good stuff, nice game :)

   Hey onedayitwillmake, thanks for your comments!

   I agree, the game can be quite hard, but the "Easy" difficulty is certainly a very manageable stepping stone for harder levels. And, of course, the "Diaballic" difficulty is very difficult indeed!

   I appreciate your comments on gameplay: I experimented with the movement engine a lot and decided that this version is the most fun. As you said, the "100% aircontrol" is a little unrealistic, but that's part of the beauty of the game, in my opinion. Such ability provides a way to escape almost any jam -- which can be immensely gratifying!

   There is no sound...yet. I am planning an update that will add auditory elements, as well as a few other features and small tweaks.

   Glad to hear you like the ingame graphics!

   Again, thanks for your input! Anyone else with ideas, comments, questions or complaints, I'd love to hear!

   Thank you!
   Tom
