After about 2 hours of game play.... I'm really enjoying this game! Controls feel very natural, and responsive. Levels are fun and difficult at the same time. You should pick up this fun indie game!

This is a super unique and charming game. It melds the best aspects of Genesis era games with the early Newgrounds indie scene, and the soundtrack is phenomenal. The movement feels so fluid, and it's just a really fun time from beginning to end. It's the perfect level of difficulty, and even though it can feel really stressful at times, it always has a super chill vibe that makes you want to keep playing and not give up. I can't recommend this game enough.

Was handed a business card for this game and as a person who likes neither platformers nor indie games, I decided this was the optimal game for me to try out.
Despite my taste, I was pleasantly surprised with this game. I played the first world and had a pretty good time. The controls and movement are great as advertised. Definitely a gargantuan step above things on greenlight or flash games. The plug-and-play controller support was a huge welcome. The sountrack was refreshing and I heard something new throughout what I played. The learning curve was a plus as well. A simple level would introduce a mechanic and test your ability in the next, more challenging level.
If there's anything I'd like to see it's an audio cue for boosting, as well as having the worlds locked until you complete the one prior.
In the grand scheme of things I would not be able to put this game down if it had some kind of level timer and leaderboards.
Otherwise this game is a worth it whether you love or hate platformers.

Gambol is the most fluid platformer I’ve ever played. The controls are so floaty while at the same time tight, you always feel in control. If you like games like Celeste/Super Meat Boy, prepare to play the first game to dethrone them.

Gambol is a super responsive platformer with good, challenging levels and great music. Even on tougher levels, I found myself trying over and over again. The *pop* Orange makes when you launch him into a spike is satisfying. I could just spend all day killing the poor ball repeatedly. Definitely look out for the secret levels!

This is one of the most addicting and fun games I have played in a long time! With its tight controls and great mechanics, the game plays like a dream! Great design, catchy soundtrack, and a decent challenge! If you're a fan of Super Meat Boy, you definitely can't miss this game!

This is a super cute platforming game with fun music and graphics. Some of the levels are pretty challenging for me, but in a good way, so I definitely won't be finishing this game super fast. Great for when you want a fun platformer game with upbeat music to unwind.

An extremely addictive, wall-jumping game. The mechanics are so simple, but each new world brings surprises. Tons of levels, collectables, even a hard mode. For $10, you can't go wrong. Well worth it!
