Definitely not for me.  I might just be old now, but I really don't have time to dedicate to memorizing every invisible gotcha across a whole map or game.  That doesn't mean it's not for somebody though, and whomever that is, I hope they find it.

The ball did control well and the graphics are decent.

Fun and frustrating (in the right way) platformer. All the invisible walls and tricks really got to me. Reminds me of a tough steam game i played called roll the world. Great job, really enjoyed it!

Ah I remember this red ball game, back when phone still have buttons on them, this definitely brings back that specific childhood memories! And you managed to make your game as challenging and as fun as the old red ball game, so good job!

Thank you! I loved Bounce!

Okay I think I don't get the joke, maybe because I don't know the original (or I simply forgot it) It reminds me a bit of I wanna be the Guy.

Thanks its okay. You can look for the original Bounce game, or if youre not familiar with Syobon Action, its more well known as Cat Mario.

Fun game ! Maybe lack of some SFX.

Developer

thank you for the feedback! i didnt have time to include the sfx despite already having the files in unity. focused on other stuff too much. I'll add it after marking is done!

It’s a great idea. Familiar visuals mixed with fresh gameplay. I enjoyed it and laughed from the first moment I saw it!
