Ok, so this one got me rather dizzy. Job done, I suppose?

To the review. This game is really jank in the best possible way. It has the premise of one of those standard ball puzzle games but with a unique spin (pun intended).

I don't know whether there is more than 3 levels, as I had that out-of-bounds problem both times I played through it. All I can say though is that the game is very well designed. I enjoyed how the game displayed it's tutorial, in a typically unreadable fashion. The puzzles are somewhat simple, but they were fun, and that's all you can really ask for. 

Graphics are rather simple, but that's not really an issue. The gameplay sticks out here, and I think you managed to create a game that is fun to play, while still most certainly being "So bad it's good".

Developer

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed my unique spin(I’m sorry) and some fun playing=]

I enjoyed this game, it felt very 'So bad it's good'.  I didn't really see how it was retro, but it was a fun to play game!

This was an interesting little game with a mechanic I don't believe I've seen before so you certainly get points for that. I'm not sure if on the first level I'm supposed to roll under that door after hitting the button but when I tried the door pushed me through the floor but that got me to the next area anyways.

Definitely falls on the So Bad It's Good  side for gameplay though yeah playing this certainly takes a toll on your eyes, head and potentially stomach.

Good job!

Developer

Thank you!! Also that's one way to beat the level lol

Very interesting (and dizzying) gameplay. I think I got out of bounds? https://prnt.sc/p3zy0n

Developer

thanks!! also yeah sry (!0_0), it seems you did go out of bounds and straight into orbit lol, i thought that i had player proofed each level. which level was it? (was it level 3)  thx for the feed back

Submitted

Yup! It's level 3, the door after the button slammed me through the ground. Then I went all the way to the left (I think? It's hard to tell in this game :D) and was able to jump out of bounds!

Developer

Yeah that’s my bad(0-0) lol, that’s the only level that doesn’t have a collider(my bad) on the outside to keep the player in bounds (°□°)

Submitted

No problem! Was level 3 the last level?

Developer

Yep, hope you enjoyed it!◕‿◕, I know it’s short, I wanted to have around 6 or 7 dizzying levels, but ran out of time

Submitted

Ahhh, I didn't manage to beat level 3 because of the out of bounds (and it being really hard and dizzying). Still a fun experimental game!

Developer

Thank you! Sry you didn’t beat it

Submitted

No problem! Still an interesting and enjoyable, albeit dizzying, experience!

This is definitely one of the entries that feels "so bad it's good" immediately upon opening to me. It's also a bit bizarre, and I like bizarre entries.

I like the twist with the gameplay, but after a while I was too disoriented and nauseous to play. Of all the entries, this is one of the best for having "so bad it's good" gameplay. It's actually pretty fun and I want to play it, but it makes my head spin.

I don't know if it was supposed to be retro, but it didn't really feel retro to me.
