I love this conceptand it's a great game, but....there's one huge flaw that ruins it all for me. The angles. You can't be the slightest degree off. 99% of the game is spent making minute adjustments to the pieces just to see the ball overbounce, not roll enough, bouce too high, too far, get stuck etc etc. You just have to be so incredibly precise with everything. It makes a very unique and fun game so so tedious and a massive chore that I am not enjoying anymore.

I have a question... is the goal to get to the bucket with more or less points? Because the points increase the longer you spend moving the ball around. So is a short quick answer for 3 points better than a long bouncy answer for 27 points?

To be honest I like these kinds of games, but this one... meh. Between the art style, the wonky point system, and the... ahem... "feature" that pushes a walkthrough on you if you get a level wrong three times... well there are better games out there that I could recommend.
2/5 stars from me because: #1. The game actually works (the physics don't seem to be broken and ball + bucket = level complete), and #2. The music is decent (kind of reminds me of the pubs in Fable).

This game is way too easy. Only the fidgety inexactness makes it hard. But that’s the bad hardness. A good hardness would require more thinking, and not just more random 1-pixel tweaking. 1/5

BTW: One clever hack: You can use any falling object to drop it onto a ball and make the ball roll without any other things. :) I solved levels in the Incredible Machine with only one domino bar in the right pixel-perfect place that way. ;)

Somehow I have a feeling that the developer didn’t get, that this type of games are all about clever hacks to solve the things, rather than the apparently expected solutions.

I suspect that it actually doesn’t reward the most smart solutions. In some levels I found asoundingly elegant solutions, e.g. using only one bolt and totally circumventing the thing. Yet I didn’t get more points but I think less. Which is just wrong.

Does anyone else realize you can cheat?
:D
The physics engine allows for many ways to win the same thing, and the fact the author put random spinning wheels for the lulz allows you to USE them to win without even using all the stuff. xD

There are a lot of better physics / puzzle games out there. Why did this even get badges in the first place ? not to mention a badge of the day...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Yeahhhh! D:< just use shortcut lazy ways instead of putting it where it wants on level 8 i just put it where it suppsoed to bounce after the 1st one and it blocks and falls in the cup :D

The "Solution" button actually gets you to the game at king.com because when you open the game there you can actually use the button and see everything by yourself maybe because they cant do it here or something like that.

Decent game however trying to move the objects when it won't pop up after 3-4 clicks can be quite annoying; dunno why it did that but I'd click dead center of an object and wouldn't get any move options. The "would you like to see the solution" popping up after a few failures was highly unnecessary and somewhat insulting (not to mention annoying). The game needs more polishing for sure but isn't horrible. 3/5.
