When playing Bounce with restored down chrome (Not in full screen mode), the mouse pointer position and the position of the white ball don't coincide.

Reply to this commentIts like a better version of filler. good job.
Reply to this commentI don't see any yellow dots...
Reply to this commentThe yellow dots are the white dots as you create them.
Reply to this commentI didn't realize you could turn the box until I'd played a couple times... you should point that out in the UI somehow -- it adds a lot to the game (lets you trap the red balls).
Reply to this commentThere are some things I would improve:

Reply to this commentThe sounds are often delayed and appear sometimes seconds after the event.
Reply to this commentThe difficulty increases too much from each level. Maybe slow the red dots a bit down and decrease the number of new dots per level.
Reply to this commentThe game-over sound is unnecessary silly. It really doesn't fit.
Reply to this commentThe Game Over sound sounds more like You Win
Thank you for your input. That's strange about the sounds; you are running Chrome, right? Darn it, I had thought it got harder too slowly before so I made it get harder faster... maybe I had just been playing it too much as a developer to be a good judge of such things...
First! Interesting tech demo. Keep up the good work.
