Paperball

Follows the essence of Super Monkey Ball, but stages are hard to get a good view of while rolling, which when combined with timing elements and positioning that is more luck than skill at moments, doesn't have the same refinement as SMB. Recommended because I think the game is still good, just somewhat unrefined. If there was a neutral option on steam I would give that.

I tried to enjoy this, but I really couldn't. I found the camera frustrating; by default it aims slightly down, giving you limited visibility; but it also moves when you do in "helpful" ways. There were too many levels where I felt the camera controls were my biggest enemy to fight. The way that, every time you fail a level and restart, you have to wait slightly before trying again might not seem like an issue. But when you're having to retry time and again, this really starts to add up. Just let be press a button to skip your "Ready, Go!" message that I've seen thousands of times and get back to the gameplay; it would be so much less frustrating. Also, having that message vocalised by default... I'm really glad I was able to turn that off. And I'm not sure what the intended difficulty curve is, but if the plan was to have a smooth gradually-increasing one, that failed horribly. Levels that I have no idea how they could be beaten were followed by levels I beat first-time; there were huge difficulty spikes and troughs all over the place. The only thing that makes me not call this a mistake is because when the insane difficulty levels are followed by something trivial, it does offset the frustration slightly. But I still don't think I can call it [i]good[/i].

very well executed monkey ball type game

Games pretty good, the arcade mode secrets are kind of annoying to get tbh, if you get stuck you dont have alot of recourse except to start over in blitz mode which feels cheap. I still maintain slackline is a very not fun level.
