What a good and unique game! Good job! my only problem is the text a bit hard to read but you get used to it. It's really something new and a good approach to the theme.
Thanks. That's very much appreciated :-)
Awesome Game, really liked it.I hope you like my game too!
Thank you so much for getting me over the 20 ratings mark! I was beginning to worry that it would never happen :-)
I'm just having a look at your game now. Sorry I missed it earlier, but there's a lot of games in this jam!
Nice gameplay.Rate my game also.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm afraid I can't rate your game because I'm using Linux and you've only provided a Windows version :-( It's listed as Windows and Linux, so I was quite hopeful, but when I got the download, there was only an .exe and support files in it. I checked the normal game page for it, but there was only the same download link.
Can you rate it,please.
I can't rate it if I can't play it. If you have a Linux build available or a version I can play on the web, I'll be more than happy to play it, give you feedback and rate it, but rating it without seeing it is simply wrong.
So please follow me so I can give you Linux version after voting.
Really solid work in all aspects! I love how physical this game feels; I can imagine this as one of those gumball dispensers that takes your money if you don't have enough dexterity. The font on the menu was kind of hard to read, mostly due to the bright yellow text being on yellow. Other than that, great job overall!
Thank you for playing :-) Your point about the font is well taken and I'll probably be replacing that. It's a nice (and appropriate) font, but it doesn't read well with the way I've used it.
I liked the game, graphics are good and can you rate us please?

I looked at the page for your game earlier today and it looks really nice, but I'm running Linux, so I can only try out games with Linux or web builds.
This is one of the best games of the jam for idea and execution! A Mobile game with this would hit 1000000 downloads!
Thank you for those kind words and thanks for playing :-)
I was thinking (after I submitted the entry), that I should have built a web version and possibly a mobile version too.
So many things to sort out :-)
The most creative game I have seen!
Hey! From Mario, that's a massive compliment :-D
Seriously, thanks for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This is one of the most original takes on the theme I've seen! The only one to go with cheese craters, too. The gameplay is pretty interesting, had some challenge.
Criticisms:
Sometimes the new marbles got stuck in the opening hole and there was no way to get them out. An unpleasant way to end a playthrough.
The texts in the main menu buttons had an interesting font, but it was really hard to read. Maybe it would be easier if it wasn't transparent.
The other stuff (audio, more "faces") you mentioned in the description, so won't get into those.
Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback. I have to agree with the font comment. It's a nice font, but really doesn't read very clearly in-game. The ball sticking problem is something I noticed too. I had it happen to me at the top after delivering the 5th ball. It went in the door and then just sat there! I fixed that by increasing the angle on the ramp, but the problem with the dispensing hole doesn't seem to be the same thing. That looks like the ball (or the ball physics) is glitching on the wall inside :-(I
I'll add it to the list of things to look at. You can't fix everything in a jam :-)
haha great game dude well done !! the game design and the graphics both are more than epic but u can improve them :) over all nice game ^^
btw i rated ur game can u do the same pls ?? and thx !!
Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it. My son's friends have gone a bit nuts with it and currently have a best time for 109 seconds to complete all 5 balls.
As far as rating your game goes, I use Linux, so I can only view games that are available on Linux or the web based entries. If you've got a Linux build available I'd be happy to try it, it looks pretty good and you've had some great feedback :-)
This game has one of the most original concepts I've seen of all the games in the jam, and implements it very well! Trying to master the controls is tough (in a good way!), and really mimics the challenge of learning those real-life puzzle games everyone played as a kid.
This game also has the best pun I've seen so far in the Jam. There should be a category for it!
Thanks for the review. I'm very pleased that you enjoyed it. When I saw the theme, I knew what I was going to do, although I did wonder a few times if I would actually manage to get it done in time.
It was my first jam. What did I learn? Ask for help with music next time :-D
nice game , if you will add music it will improve the game even more .
Yes, music was something that I left too late to include. It was my first jam though and I learned a lot from it.
Thanks for playing :-)
Interesting game. Cool idea!
Thank you. Much appreciated :-)
Really good game. Loved the idea and the mechanics, very fun to play! Well done :D
Thanks for playing and for such a nice comment. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
nice physics and overall a good game!
Thanks for trying the game and thanks for the comment :-) It's the first time I'd worked with the physics and I thought I was going to go nuts a few times ;-)
Once I understood what was going on I immediately started to chart various paths to get to the top of the "cheese?". That's when the fun began. I like the concept of this and how works. It just needs a bit of polish.
Yes. I think I'll be doing some more work on this one. Different layouts for the cheese (with better, smoother surfaces) will probably be the first thing. Some more audio might also help :-D

Nice little physics game with some cool extras!
Thanks :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it.
didn't understad the game at first but with some time i got the idea of it
pretty creative puzzle game and it has some realistic physics
8/10 and you deserve it
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment :-)
Very nice game! It feels so realistic and the physics are great! No strange bouncing . Just like the real game would feel
Thanks :-) I'm very tempted to keep working on it because I've got some more things I'd like to add and my son and his friends are going mad trying to speed run it :-) Their best time so far is 109.5s! I've only managed about 150.
I was glad i was able to make it at all :D
Very nice and polished game! There was me thinking I was the only one making a game about cheese...
Yes, I was quite surprised there weren't more cheese based games :-) I played a web based one that looked a bit too simple, but turned out to be very playable. Cheese Hole Factory. Worth a look :-)
I'll look at it!
