Balling Up

Too buggy to complete moving obstacles, therefore the game isnt possible to finish..

10/10 would let ASMR dev GF chat ♥♥♥♥ about my mashochism while I played her asset flip again

got softlocked and had to restart full game

The game looks very cute and has nice, soothing narration as well as music. The map is a lot like solo play Chained Together, which makes for some interesting platforming. The issues are that the controls are just very awkward. Upon booting up the game you're told that a controller is needed for the optimal experience, but you can use keyboard + mouse. I used keyboard + mouse due to not having a controller so I can't speak to the controller experience. Keyboard + mouse feels sluggish and a little unresponsive. You can turn the camera wildly, but your ball will only slightly turn with it. Using WASD also feels slow, like you're trying to push the ball through thick goo. Additionally, your ball is constantly wanting to slide on even the tiniest of slopes requiring you to repeatedly tap in a direction to try and sit still. The camera also functions a little poorly. The first section of the game involves a lot of vertical scaling and I found the ball would regularly fall behind the camera so that I would lose track of it. The second section has a lot of tight spaces involving small houses and towers. This is where the camera starts to work against you as it collides with everything.…

Eventhough Im working on completing this game at the current moment. This game made me want to slam my ♥♥♥♥ with a hammer and then put gasoline on it and light it on fire just to feel some sort of satisfaction for the smallest bit of work. 8/10

Overall I do like this game; but a single glitch ruined it for me permanently. I progressed until I reached the "Asia" area, and then the ball got caught in an extremely large circle moving very quickly. I could not regain control of it. After some time, it disappeared and I could not progress whatsoever. I looked online and saw others had experienced this, but unfortunately did not see a reliable fix. Uninstalled.
