How far can you roll a sphere down a super-steep, never-ending ramp before falling off? Find out in this devilishly tough but instantly accessible score-based racing game—a masterpiece whose simple controls and wonderfully minimalist presentation will keep you coming back again and again. Whether you stick to the road with precision driving or fling yourself into the unknown with wild jumps, you’ll be engrossed and pushed to your limits.

Epic game but collisions are buggy

I love the intense, survival feeling of this game and the clean, minimalist gameplay and UI. I really only have one problem with it, and that is that the physics of the ball with the track are a bit unrealistic. Hitting the ball against the end of the track often shoots you to the left or right with a lot of force (almost a certain fail), and slight bumps in the road sometimes propel the ball into oblivion. I think the game would have a much more relaxed feel if the ball was “heavier,” in other words, hugged the track more closely and had slower acceleration.

I find this game incredibly addicting. Whenever I'm bored I get an urge to play it. Simple to just get right into and easy to exit as well (if my salt levels become too high). There are two aspects of the movement, however, that make it hard to fully unwind and immerse oneself in this game.First, there's bouncing. Occasionally, the ball jumps like it's life depended on it, probably around 4 times higher than normal. It happens unpredictably: sometimes when I'm expecting a typical rebound, sometimes when merely turning around a corner, sometimes when I'm traveling in a straight line with no bumps. It wouldn't be so bad if the sudden airtime allowed me to turn quickly enough to stay over a curving track. But far too often the giant bounce throws me off the track with no possible recovery, ending the run.Secondly, even worse, is the momentum stop. Just as sporadically as the giant bounce, I'll not so seldom have my ball just stop completely, losing all ability to resist falling off the track. This is a guaranteed run killer unless I happen to be on completely zero inclined track. Just last round, my ball stopped AND teleported way off the track.These bouncing and momentum stopping glitches can only be handled so much with reflexes and controls. Most of the time, they, not your skill as a player, determine your high score, kinda taking the fun and challenge out of it. I wish that weren't the case.

Good game, but needs some debugging and redesigning.

Every now and then the arrows do not work. Also, I play this game on my iPad, but I am unable to use my keyboard to control the movement of the ball. Why not??? I find it frustrating that I have to use the (occasionally unreliable) arrows on the touch screen to control the ball movement, even on my iPad. If the developer redesigns the game so that the user can tap ANYWHERE on the right or left side of the screen to control the ball’s movement, most of the problems with the use of the arrows on the touch screen would be fixed. Out of preference, the developer should also make this game compatible with the iPad keyboard.
