Great concept and mechanics. I felt like the gameplay was smooth while playing. Some feedback:

Graphics could be more clear. Wasn't intuitive on which side is bouncy.
Some sort of tutorial would upgrade the experience. The mechanic is easy enough to not need it but you can never go wrong with a quick tutorial.
More variety in the levels. The first 3 levels were basically the same.

Hey! Thanks for the great feedback, this game was so rushed after wanting to get it within 3 hours that honestly I just wrote it off mentally as a joke or just 'bad', so thanks again for taking the time to outline its many flaws and give me something to take away from it!

I agree with your points, most of them definitely being a time management issue where I was unable to include the art and variety in levels I wanted (Originally planning for 2+ bouncers and colours in a single level). I intended for the first level to be a 'show not tell' tutorial where you couldn't fail, giving you a chance to figure out how to move the bouncer and what that results in, but it seems that didn't translate as well as I hoped.
