When the ball starts full on rolling... that's what it's all about, baby! Wasn't ready for how addicted I'd be to this game. Dunno how far I got, all the way up to the red ball, and then I only stopped because I had to attend to other things. Had this game on while working. Felt very zen, and I super enjoyed it! I think you can get the ball rolling more if you put more pieces in the top half of the circle rather than the bottom, but it's hard to say. You do have to trust the process, moving pieces too regularly only lead to my frustration lol
