Being Ball Reviews

I can't solve the puzzle at the 2-2

This game reminds me of my childhood when I was playing games Switchball and Ballance (great ones). After that, I’ve never been able to find a new game with a similar type of gameplay, at least not one that was good. But I think I found it - Being Ball! [b]Being Ball has a great atmosphere, nice puzzles and challenging parts.[/b] The controls and principles in the game are simple and self-explanatory. [b]A few negatives I would point out are:[/b] [list] [*] Some parts of some levels are sometimes more frustrating than challenging for me. (I think this could be fixed by adding more checkpoints to levels.) [*] A few puzzles in the game are just random and confusing, with no logic behind them. (Or, at least, I have found no hints for how to solve them.) They need to be solved by randomly trying different combinations of some actions (pushing buttons/switching levers). [*] Stairs are not the best structure for letting a rounded ball go up - it kinda works, but you need specific velocity. Otherwise, you get stuck or bounced back from the stairs (“ideally” straight into the water). :D [*] Camera. It would be nice if it could be possible to change the camera distance and also switch camera rotation controls. [/list] However, as the game is in early development, I believe Roy (the developer of the game) will work hard on it and improve a lot. It has potential. [b]I can recommend the game[/b], even if I think the original price (€25) is pretty high. I was waiting for a discount (-45%) to buy it. But you are supporting an individual developer, that seems to be very open to community inputs (at least for now :) ). [b]I can’t wait for new worlds and levels to come out![/b]
