Wow, this control scheme is fantastic! Just controlling the blocks that the ball touches, it's simple and straightforward, really clever!

Interesting game. 2D restriction would be nice as the player has no control over the z axis. Still had some fun.

Thanks. I assumed the lack of control on the z-axis will present a challenge and make the game harder.  Lol. Bugs as a feature.

Cool idea, really buggy. I think it would also be better if you restricted the ball to a 2D plane, as you can't really control it in 3 dimensions. It definitely has potential with a lot more work.

Thank you for the feedback. I agree there are some bugs that will need to be ironed out in the future.

Neat idea. Some visual indicator of which platform is active would be nice. And I wonder how the game would feel if the camera were further out so you can see more of the puzzle? Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. I will definitely add visual indicators. I will try out changing the position of the camera and see how it looks and feels

Nice game. Very interesting idea and fun mechanics. Though I did have some issues with the ball going through platforms at times but overall, nicely done. This was pretty fun. You did a great job!

Thanks. I had a lot of fun making it. I will look into the ball going through the platforms. I didn't experience it when testing.
