The implementation of check points was greatly appreciated! However I felt like the ball could have used some more drag and the colliders for the holes bit a bit more smaller, like the player should be able to ride over the holes to an extent before falling rather than touching it and instantly dying. Otherwise apart from that, it's a high quality game! Good work!

Well done! Very fluid and responsive and functioned almost exactly how you'd want such a game to work.
My constructive critique would be that A. controlling the board tilt using mouse input was a little non-intuitive and sporadic, I would've preferred WSAD or Keyboard - this is just a personal preference, and B. It felt like the ball hit a trigger over the hole at which point the hole just "grabbed" it and pulled it in. I would've liked if the holes were such that the ball actually had to fall in naturally with it's physics. Other than that great job!

WormholeGlad you liked it! As for how the holes work, you are exactly right. There is a trigger that causes the ball to play an animation where it falls in. The reason for this is because it's super hard to get a proper hole without complicated mesh editing, plus I wanted to be able to place the holes anywhere I want and change them on the fly. A shader and a script fit this job. But I totally see the appeal of having real physics at work. Thanks for playing!
Good game and music, but the resolution was a bit off, other than that, good job!

Going Down, Getting DangerousReally cool game! I feel it might be a little too difficult to control the ball around some of the smaller areas that require you to be precise, though. The graphics felt like they really pop! The ambient music was really nice, and soothing! Really good game!

Learn to digGame was chill and all, but I've been always bad at that game no matter if it's the physical version or a digital. Could definitely see this on a mobile platform using the gyro or something.

Dungeon HolesSuper nostalgic... I used to play tons of these! The visual aesthetic is very eye catching, I love the super saturated gems, and the general floaty, night time ambiance also really suited the game well. A solid marble game.

The Hole MoonThis was very challenging, and very fun to play. It would be nice to know when a checkpoint was hit so I could predict where I'd start from but it was a good time.
