Fluff'n'Roll

A good monkey ball like game in a world where even SEGA struggles to put out an unambiguously good monkey ball game. It's familiar while being just differnt enough to not feel too much like the monkey ball games. Game performs well and has pleasant graphics.

SUPER FLUFFY BALL

I've been following development on YouTube and this looked like such a fun game, but I have to admit I bounced off it with some frustration. I don't want to leave a negative review, especially on a clear labor of love by a solo dev, so instead I'll leave some (hopefully) constructive criticism: - The gamepad controls feel super sensitive with no way to adjust stick sensitivity. - Surprisingly, the keyboard controls actually felt easier than gamepad since I could just tap keys for minor adjustments. - The gamepad felt better once I disabled camera movement, but it is odd that gamepad defaults with camera movement and keyboard has no such option. If anything, I would disable camera movement on gamepad by default for parity with keyboard. - Granted, the controls are relatively simple, but it would have been nice to have some control hints or a very minimal tutorial to ease into the game. For example, I didn't know I could go slow because the gamepad controls were so sensitive so a hint telling me to try going slowly or an option to adjust sensitivity would have been helpful. - The dang narrow + bouncy gates are so annoying! hahaha. It seems double punishing that you have to hit such a narrow target and if you don't you likely bounce off the map. Moreover, what was really frustrating was if I managed to not bounce off the map, I get bounced to face the opposite direction and it was always painful to try to make a 180 degree turn. - It would be nice if the difficulty curve ramped up more gently. I will caveat my feedback with the fact that I haven't played much Super Monkey Ball so I may not be your target audience. But that said, I think addressing the issues above would make the game more accessible to beginners and those new to the genre. The game is by no means bad, in fact I can see it being really fun. These were just the pain points for me.
