I like this game but just because people don't know what a good game is dosen't mean that they suck. It means they're dumb. Oh ya 5/5

Nice game, but sometimes (in my oppinion) the ball is slightly hopping... uhmm... irregular.
For example dropping him STRAIGHT down will never result in a not-sidewards-moving ball... -.-
4/5 still...

Good game that I'm glad to see is coming form Kongregate's own, but it needs a little polish.
1) After the hint about the first purple fireball powerup, there is no info on the green, blue, or red ones. The blue one is kinda obvious, but I'm guessing red is just a plain extra fireball and green bounces more? ... But I'm guessing.
2) Suicide is good, but you really need a reset level button/key. Since Aces matter, a bad shot on the first fireball usually means you need to reset the level and suiciding thru the other shots is useless overhead.

3) You shouldn't have to click on the fireball (the area to click on is too small anyway) to start the shot. Just click anywhere. It might be nice to have a "cancel shot" key (space?) just in case of an accidental click, tho.
4) You nicely keep the time and aced status for each level, but this needs to be expanded. You should track how many shots and total time and then you can let people go back and improve. This could allow "Aced" to mean the minimum number of shots, too. Of course, this means the secret levels and what you need to do to unlock them would also be shown giving an incentive to beat your previous bests.

Fun and simple. I think there should be a [r]eset button for redoing a level you mess up without hitting the s key a lot. The reset option when you miss should be on the top instead of the "you missed" part. A lot of unnecessary moving and clicking since you tend to keep the mouse pointer by the top. Several times during the game I couldn't seem to grad the fireball for a bit. The font and font colors are blah. Go for the 8 bit white text of the old arcade days.
Since there are 40 normal levels and 4 bonus levels, I assume that 10 aces = 1 bonus level.

Its a decent enough game, but the bug of the fireball moving too fast to light the torch is annoying. Its also annoying that it isn't clear what you need to do to unlock the levels; yes, acing levels unlocks them, but is it acing a certain number of levels or certain specific levels?
