Good concept, I think a grid might actaully help a lot here with the ability to predict the trajectory better...

Also, varying ball sizes might also add another element to gameplay as bigger balls (hehe) will be easier to hit, but harder to fit in between other balls...

Overall a fun play through :-)

Initially, I thought "this premise is so simple", but then, as the game asked me to place more and more dots, the complexity grew and I was surprised by how interesting the problem of placing them was to solve. Really neat game! Would be a fun mobile game. Love that the cursor is the projectile, haha. Was a little annoyed, though, that, if the cursor missed my balls, it would just keep bouncing around forever DVD-screensaver style until it hit something. Would have liked a way of easily restarting the level.

Rage inducing in a good way :) Best I could do is 7 dots.

In all levels after 1 the game should announce success if only 1 dot is left, as it will be hit sooner or later.  Including a time slider would be nice, so you can speed up the simulation while waiting for eventual lucky hits after you realize you completely failed at predicting an actual path. There's a glitch that happens sometimes - the arrow slides along the edge for a few moments instead of bouncing right back.

All in all, very simple yet very effective.

Definitely a hard game, got to level 5, but then I couldn’t predict the bounces well enough. Very fun concept though. Would be nice if there was an “easy” mode which at least shows the path the arrow will take.

I had fun with the gameplay
