The objective of the game is as simple as the controls and art-direction. Genre wise, an arcade puzzle-platformer; you seek to navigate (often at high-speeds) from one end of the level to the other in an attempt to find the exit in the fastest time with the least amount of deaths. On first play through, I noticed when stage 3 hit there was a sudden steep learning curve. As soon as those large platforms arrive and you have fear of the flames below, that's it, maaan. It's a lot of trial and error, plus a focus on that muscle memory kind of play reminiscent of the original arcade titles that laid the groundwork for all future video games. Despite the historical leanings, it obviously wont be for everyone, but is a design I personally enjoy due to the rewarding nature. On a more contemporary standing it'd be fair to to compare to the likes of Super Meat Boy and co. from the big boys on XBLA within the indie world here.
 
Providing you've got a log-in, you're able to gain trophies and climb the leaderboard through gamejolt.com to fulfill the need to show-off to all your buddies that, yeah; you're better than them! Alas, if you need some private time, you can just as easily start the game without logging in and playing without leaderboards on. 
 
To make the review fair and balanced, it is my journalistic duty to point out whatever flaws I can find. Although, those I have found aren't game-breaking nor are they to a point of pure annoyance. The first is that there's a few bugs/glitches here and there. Moments where your Ball will just quit for a couple milliseconds can be slightly off-putting, but again that is very slight and likely to be fixed in upcoming revisions. The other thing that bugged me at first but became endearing is how the timer will often shoot off matching the physics of the game. It only becomes a pain when you're defiantly attempting to beat the clock and have eyes shifty like a hawk.
