This is very well made but it's so hard to control. I eventually got the hang of it a little and the concept is very fun, but I wish I had more control over making the ball go where I wanted it to go. Still, I enjoyed it!

A game a lot like pinball. I didn't really feel very much in control - even when my input makes a difference it's chaotic what effect it will have. With no direct control, levels with no sides or holes in the walls are very punitive. It would be more enjoyable if there were lots of opportunities to go fast and score lots of bonus points, rack up combos, ding lots of bells.

Well done on completing!
A great looking game. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but I always ended up in the hole on the right hand side within seconds of starting. I tried VERY hard not to do this, but failed miserably. :-D
Perhaps some refinement of game balance / playability is in order? Thank you!

Sorry I couldn't get this to run on macos! I tried following the instructions below including reinstalling dependancies for libogg opus opusfile libopusenc libvorbis flac, but still kept getting crashes (CoreAudioException: 'The file type is not supported') for all the sound files.

The title screen worked and the animations were great, but as soon as I pressed play, all I saw was a black screen and the fps. I am using Mac.

Nice graphics, very nice music, intriguing gameplay. I finished all 4 levels with 2290 points and 10/14 gems. Was fun!
Nit: you need PyOgg for the .ogg music not to crash the app on macOS. Would be great if pyglet required that for you on the Mac. Oh well! Fortunately, it's an easy fix.
Pretty cool! Maybe it's just me but I found the first level basically impossible to win on purpose. As soon as I touched anything it shot me off in some random direction and eventually I got lucky. It seemed like the best strategy for most of the game is to avoid touching anything. Which is fine but it's not intuitive to me that you'd want to do that in a pinball game. I found level 4 the most fun, because I could bounce off and explore more without being too worried about dying. Lots of nice little touches, like the facets on the rotating gems, the water texture, and the ball dropping off the table.
