I CAN'T STAND THIS! The game itself is beautiful, creative and fun and worth every cent. I'd say all Kamibox games fit that, except maybe Letter². But, there's no way to mute the app properly. You can turn off the music and the squeaking of the hinges, which is greatly appreciated, but you can't turn off the thumps of parts falling. This drives me mad, I tend to listen to podcasts or video essays while I play casual games and this one thing makes that impossible. Other than that, 5 stars.

The simplicity is deceiving, RNG is probably involved, and the physics are complex; together, it allows an addictive gameplay with repeating "so close!" and "one more try". Every time I thought the ingenuity peaked, it surprises me with a new section. While I wished there was some sort of fanfare when completing all the levels, this will be fun to replay in a year or two.

Physics that you feel in your soul. I'm a sucker for simple games with really basic mechanics that are taken to wacky extremes. The sense of motion I get from some of these levels had me physically leaning my body as if it would help. It gives you a feeling I can only describe as anticipation. You can feel where the ball is going to go and it's just so satisfying. BTW there are 144 levels. The people who say there are less are just bad at the game because you have to beat levels to unlock more.
