I had a lot of fun playing and testing this game. I wish the ball could move a little bit faster and the holes were a little bit wider. Also some music would make your game even more amazing. Well done.

Not bad. I think the comments below have already covered the main things. The input sensitivity for keyboard isn't really high enough, but at the same time, the slightest touch of a hole brings everything to a sudden stop.
Perhaps, if the ball just catches a hole, it could be made to bounce in an awkward way instead of ending the game. Just a thought :-)

Antithesis VergeThis could be a start for game design.
I think the ball should move faster, so that the player will have the time to get the cube and get back to where the hole is.
Add maybe you could also add some music in the game, in the case, the player would feel motivated.
Keep it up!

Through HolesThe core seems alright, one thing that I'd improve is that often the ball would hit the corner of a hole just for pixel or so and it was a instant game over, have you thought about making a small bounce from the corner? that the game doesn't instantly stop, but would gave a small extra chance for those close calls.

Quack-A-MoleyI like the mechanic - it's simple, but interesting. However, the colliders of the holes are a bit off - the game told me I missed the hole, although there was a white border all around the red ball. Apart from this, really great work!

Holes at the Museumrealy good game
maybe if the hole are just wider a litle bit to give the player a more confortable game play
like the efect when the bale hit the borders of the hole, it make me not made when llosing
and adding multiple ball skins was a clever idea.
great job
i enjoyed

curseD DemonsI really liked this game! Definitely a great way to combine the theme and casual mobile games, though I did occasionally find collision detection to be a little bit off. Regardless, it's a very fun game, and I hope to see more developments like it in the future!
I'd also appreciate feedback on my game, Donut Wholes, if you'd like to check it out!

Balls & HolesVery enjoyable game. It would be cool to play it on the phone while using the device rotation to control the ball :3
Also, is that you wearing a christmas hat in that ball skin? Love it xD

Canadian HoleI've been working on a similar concept (not for the jam!) so I love it. But your game is too unforgiving from the start for me. I would suggest to allow collisions against the vertical walls and have larger holes at first, then reducing them progressively. Maybe still keep some large ones randomly from time to time to give the player a few seconds of rest and break the monotony. Maybe also play with hole shapes.
Tsted on Android, no problem except the virtual joystick is half out of the screen when set to the right (Oneplus 5, 1920x1080 screen)
And then… Ads? Seriously?!? o_O
Developing it further may lead to good hypercasual game but for the sake of game jam try to uplad in WebGl format to get more reviews and rate as that will really help to cast a bigger net.
Overall enjoyable fun and good game.
Well done.
Do upload in WebGl format ,it will really help you to further get more idea and players.
