Some game elements change the ball's path, while others react to being hit by the ball. Try to interact with everything to figure out how they work! Take your time to figure out the best solution for each puzzle. Or, if you get stuck, use the integrated hints system for a bit of help with the next move. Or all of them, it's up to you!In story levels, the goal is to collect all the feathers before your run out of moves. Each collected feather reveals another bit of the story. In coins levels, the goal is to collect all coins and depending on how many moves you make, you're awarded up to three gems. Besides showing your puzzle solving skills, gems are also used to unlock new chapters. As for coins, you'll be able to spend those on skins to customize the rolling ball!

User Reviews
Nice game. The music is nice, the graphics looks nice. It relaxing, and sometimes chalenging so its good. Nice game in my opinion
Two words - chromatic aberration! I got sick after 5 min....
GOOD GAME & NICE PRICE
A bit funny, this:
While playing the game I came across a weird bug affecting couple of mechanisms and thus a number of levels, making those levels somewhat frustrating to get through (though not game-breaking). The developer was responsive, but could not duplicate the bug nor had anyone else reported the same, so the source of it remains a mystery and thus persists for me.
But even with that issue, I'm willing to give this a recommendation, because I can still push through the corrupted levels (and for many others they seem to work just fine) and around them is a solid good puzzle game, relaxing but substantial.
