Some of the levels were more of a test of determination than of skill, but it's an original concept fairly well executed, and a fun way to waste a couple of hours. The final real level could have been about 10 minutes shorter if all the tiresome automated movement was taken out of the middle section IMHO, but it provided a bit of a break from rolling the little dude around. My only real complaint is the "There has been a glitch" 'level'. ... wtf? So far as I can tell it's just a huge empty space with 4 posts that you can never even see, let alone light. I've let it run until the time ran out falling straight down, holding left, and holding right. There's nothing on any of those 3 paths that I saw. If there is anything on that level, then I'm afraid it's just too vast an area of empty space with no landmarks of any kind to fall through blindly in the hopes that something will turn up. 3/5 from me. A good concept, and fun to play, but hampered by a few tedious moments and a truly sucky last 'level' of falling despair. Hello :-Lightinthedark Over all this was a fun and interesting game.

3/5 from me. A good concept, and fun to play, but hampered by a few tedious moments and a truly sucky last ‘level’ of falling despair.

I dig it quite muchly. This needs to be offered a cell phone game. I dig it quite muchly.

Then it acts like I can go to the next level, and it goes "There has been a glitch!" And drops me off into empty space, but telling me that there are 4 posts to light somewhere above. I fall ever farther, and farther, and farther away from what should be my goal. Its absolutely depressing. (j/k) Fantastic timewaster, if somewhat unintuitive as to what the correct methodology for each level is. I spent a fair amount of time coming up with inventive ways to do exactly what I wasn't supposed to do, only to find myself stuck and unable to continue.
