This is a great game. I love a good physics puzzler. The only thing that lost it a star is the lack of a "mute" option. There is slider for music volume but A) it cannot be accessed until after several menus and videos B) It leaves sound effects on and C) the credits music completely ignores it (nice little surprise for people playing at work...). A volume option that defective is actually worse than no option at all. For that reason only I am removing a star. 4/5 for solid gameplay and graphics.

Some of the levels are glitchy and the ball doesn't properly go through the portals because of the narrow space provided.

To get into the game without crashing, quickly click the gray "skip" in the bottom left of the intro as soon as you can. Also, if you get stuck in an infinite reboot loop, hit R to reset the stage.

..and the ball is stuck in an infinite reverse/fast forward cycle on module 5 and I can't do anything other than refresh the page to fix this.

Physics❤ Good game!... =]
But saving progress would be nice, if not within modules, then after each, especially because Shockwave tends to crash...

IF YOU'RE GETTING YOUR SHOCKWAVE CRASHED, just click on the skip button as soon as the intro starts.. left bottom of the screen.

So, last year it had a problem on the first level where it would hang. Now it won't so much as start? Look, I love this game. I've played it on other sites, and I really want the badges, so it would be very nice if the developers would take their time and fix this.

Sound FX volume? Why is it so hard for game makers to realize some people DON'T want their eardrums blasted out by these games?
