Though the lives system is annoying, you have to remember this is the first in the series. And yes, the later games allowed you to recycle balls if you made stupid (or not so stupid) mistakes.

If you make more than three mistakes, you're not going to complete the game; so if that's what you're aiming for, you might as well just throw all those balls away and start again.

You must use all components in correct sequence, but in most levels if u made mistake, DO NOT! throw the ball to bin, but try to repaint it. Repainting exhaust light, and gets rid of i.e eyes

This was a fun game. I played it a number of times back during the competition, and made it all the way through the first try just now.
The first time or two I played it, I did have some trouble. After the third try or so, I kept making it to the same level and just couldn't figure it out. My greatest disappointment, when I finally did figure it out, was that I had been stuck on the last level. I was so exited to see what possibly could be next . . . only to have there be nothing left.
Rating: 4/5 :)

ball limit kind of made the game frustrating and not as enjoyable as before. 1/5 no point in redoing levels i already figured out come to find out i slipped up on one then have to repeat

Normally I like these, but the limited balls was more annoying than challenging, and if it wasn't for Sarah's comment, might not have figured out the last stage. 3/5.

Took 2 tries, kind of annoying that it came down to one life difference, then the second time through I sped through it without losing a single life, more of a waste of time at that point.

I played 4 first so I didn't realize I was losing the balls! Still fun but I hated having to drag the ball each time instead of just clicking. 4 spoiled me!

If you need to reset the ball in a level with a pump or plunger, just use the tool one time too many. The ball "pops" and reappears in the tumbler. Keeps your numbers up if you need more time to think.

Took a little work, but I failed on level one. Great game by the way, I think this one is my favourite of the series [before it got overly complex, also, tumble :) ].

When I read "the lives system is unforgiving" I thought I was going to have to restart for messing up one ball. Luckily you get a few extras. I think I only had to throw 1 away.

I found it very rare to have a ball destroyed. It only happens if you over-inflate or hallow it at the wrong time. Otherwise, just repaint and start again. It's an easy game if you pay attention. I beat it on the first try (though on my final ball).
