Developer Feedback Questions
Would love to see how others liked the flow of the game, and if they could beat all ten levels.

There's some cool stuff in this one, the variety of obstacles and the optional collectables provided an interesting challenge. I think the flow was pretty good, decent escalation in difficulty. I didn't manage to beat all levels unfortunately, though like the other entries in the jam that's more due to my time constraints than frustration or boredom with the games themselves.

I do agree with the suggestion of implementing the ability for the player to rotate their view, I found there were several times I couldn't see my character because it was blocked by something

 Oh and though I didn't get too far into it I did see in the devlog that it was possible to miss the jumps to level ends that aren't on the ground. Maybe adding in a way to get the player maybe halfway back through the level would be a nice anti-frustration feature. Depends on how difficult you want the game to be I guess.

But I concur with the other comments in saying that if you pump more character into this game you could have something real fun. Nice work!

Thank you :) 
Definitely the one I am most interested in developing.

Some really cool ideas here, particularly love the knocking over platforms as bridges mechanic. I think the game looks good and performs well, control is generally strong as well. 

Unless I was playing incorrectly, it seems a number of the later levels require the player to move backwards against the camera. I don't think this really works super well because as far as I can tell its basically impossible to navigate things "behind" the player. I think camera rotation or a redesign of these puzzles would be the best improvement for the game.

Overall, really enjoyed it! Keep up the great stuff

Really good concept, probably also a good idea for a mobile game...it is super much fun!Like Joel said some more juice and a bit more deltailed and overthinked grafics would be cool ;)

This was fun... Give this game some character and Juice and it will be hit worthy. Think Super Monkey Ball.

I loved super monkey ball. One thing I definitely want to do is figure out how to let people select or earn different balls.
