(played as part of ATARI 50)
Interesting core gameplay -in theory- but very, very quickly butts up against its own limitations and poorly thought-through mechanics and just plain feels bad to play. As a rule pressing the (only) action button and then having to wait until the game feels like executing it is not an awesome gamedev idea, just in general. Real easy fix for that too, just have the ball immediately bounce down and then back up when you press jump, wherever you are in your arc, like the bubble powerup in SONIC 3/KNUCKLES. Problem solved! But, no one asked me, so. Alas.
