Wow i really like this concept, So simple yet so fun... Props!
I love it! It's a very interesting game, I wish there was more of a story though
Simple yet challenging mechanics! I think it can be perfect fit for mobile devices :)
BTW, I encountered a couple issues:
1. at some point bottom white border just disappeared and ball sometimes got stucked there.
2. What after ball police? Nothing happens... Except text about clicking to death.
Thank you all for your comments!
1. Yeah, I wanted to make more of a story, but the time wouldn't let me.
2. Yeah, there are a couple of bugs :P
3. After the ball police, you've got to click the ball xD
holy mozes! this is the best so far!
really enjoyed this one! challenging and innovative :-)
Cool concept. Enjoyed playing it. The narration was a bit too slow for me though.
Looks fun, but a bit slow until you start doing stuff.
Also I got stuck in the wall for about a min until it somehow bounced me out. Once it was going things were fun.
A fun, quick game. Good job! Really enjoyed it, played it til the end.
Ha ha ha, that was awesome! Great job. I'm glad he wasn't a PokéBall. I found one bug actually, after the bottom of the box came off, the ball bounce up into the top left corner and got stuck inside the right wall, going up and down. I was able to get out after a little bit of rapid space tapping though. Other than that, good work.
Neat concept and nice story too. Although I feel dirty, aiding a criminal....
Wow, character development is everything.
Very nicely done!
At first I was a bit skeptical, but it turned out to be really fun to play!
It's also quite original and the dialogs cracked me a few times :)
Cool little game (y)
A One-Button-Game with a story ... and then it's not a One-Button-Game anymore ... woah, what a ride!
Hey ! Nice game, well explained, good tutorial. It's fun to move the ball. Good job.
Cool idea!
I wish it lasted a little bit more, but it was really fun!^^
The simple concept is awesome when you extended it bit by bit. My space bar does not forgive you but if you took this forward it could be a fun game to play on a single screen touch device.
Also, I broke the ball out of the prison, did I win?

Aaaaaargh, the clicking part was so frustrating, but I liked the game )
Good game concept with a simple well written story! :) Really nice game!
Great entry! Loved the little characterization and story. Everything is really tied in well.
Perfect game for mobile platform, i would port it if i were you.
Anyway, pretty interesting game, only one thing, got bored on the beginning a little bit.
This is awesome, so simple yet so deep and thought provoking! Kudos to you!
well done, original, fun, humorous and challenging. I love the transparent box counter, I think it's very innovative.
I loved this game! But poor ball D:
It is very fun, i played it four times :P
<3
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
I got stuck at the ball police -- I think I killed them too quickly. :(
I like the simple controls and concept.
Lot of interesting and fun mechanics there. Bonus points for making my wife scream "What are you doing up there!" in response to my rapid spacebar slapping.
Very clever and very simple. I love the story you built around the tiny ball and I especially like the timer zone mechanic. Also at the end you literally broke the fourth wall. Well done!
This was a very clever (and funny) use of the theme! The mechanics were simple, but used in a really interesting way. Great job! :)
225 seconds :)
Very neat!
Controls are responsive, dialog is funny and the tasks are fun to do.
This is perfect for a mobile game ;)
Great job!
Really good! I love how strikingly simple it is! Just one button/touch and a world of challenges! That concept has a lot of potential. Well done!
244 seconds :) really fun game. Simple but challanging and creative. I had fun :D
Lovely entry! Nice humor and inventive gameplay. Cool tie in between narrative, gameplay and the theme. Great job!
Ahaa, great narrative - the combination of shapes and a unique narrative style reminds me of Thomas was Alone. There was a wide variety of different ideas in here, and so the shortness can be attributed to the 48 hours. The music loops well and it's fun to solve each "puzzle". The graphics are simple, but very effective. A very good entry.
Really like the concept. I like how you gave the ball such personality
At first it was a bit slow, but then I was charmed, fantastic game! If only it was longer. :(
Really Interesting Idea! Love the one-key controls. Sound fits well too, couldn't help to make a beat off the ball sound and the bgm
I like how much variation and depth you have created while only using one button :) It's really fun to play, and the learning curve is well done.
Hey guys, I just wanted to thank you for the feedback you gave me!
I'm planning on doing an Android release, having in mind all your comments, so I really, really aprecciate it :)
This is a nice little entry! Easy to pick up but the challenges are both appropriate and not tedious. You've got a good difficulty curve, here. I was frustrated by a few bugs, though. The ball gets caught on the shooting blocks a lot, and on the frames on the edges. I had to spam space to get it unstuck. I also am not sure if I won the game or not... I got to a point where the ball was going so fast I couldn't possibly click it, and then ended up giving up. Stopping before that point would probably be a good idea ><
It's a good game, though. Thank you!
A simple game but with some cool gameplay ideas. It's cool that you do a lot with such a basic concept. I thought the clicking on the ball at the end was an interesting twist. I found the text narration a little long-winded. Good stuff though!
The kind of simple game mechanics I love and for which everything is in the details. With regard to controls, it is simply the opposite of my own entry: here, you have to keep banging on the space bar to get somewhere. Congratulation.
Very fun approach to the topic. Like the dialogue a lot! Well done!
Great game! I could see playing that for a long time. Very addictive :)
Nice concept, I found the text a bit too slow though. Good job for your first LD! :)
cool game. nice story, nice gameplay (but it's like a demo, more "levels" will be cool)...
Favourite game so far! You did a great job on implementing the theme!
Very outside the box! Breaking the 4th wall figuratively and literally. Keep it up!
Interesting implementation of a story on simple mechanics. Well done!
what an simple but hard gameplay, good job, also great story / humor ;)
Oh, that was great. I was skeptical at first, but the more you play till the end the more you have fun. Well done :)
I like how you explored a bunch of different mechanics and permutations of those mechanics. The story segments, especially at the beginning, took a long time and dragged down the pacing a bit, though. Being able to skip to the next line would help move things along back to the gameplay, which was really enjoyable! Nice work!
Love the different challenges.
Good use of single button play.
Excellent. Nice core mechanic, a good variety of challenges, and text that kept me wanting more. The challenge trying to stay within a square for 5 seconds with danmaku blocks was difficult, but the forgiving nature of the game made it workable. Good job!
244 seconds! Overall a really fun entry. I personally hated all the text, but I enjoyed the variety of minigames (I'd prefer a straight wario-ware style playlist of games, though).
