Nice looking stuff. Reminds me vaguely of a thinking mans "Trailblazer" (remember that? :) )

There is one thing that slightly annoys me tho: the ball doesn't bounce exactly onto the level cells. IMO it should :) It would make no difference to the gameplay but would look nicer I think. Just a small point, I hope you understand what I mean. (caveat: I do have some slight OCD or something ;) )

Good work and thx for posting source.

Thank you very much everyone for the compliments and comments!

I thought so too. For logic it is better. But finally I found it such unnatural. Step 50px is too small, the height at which the ball bounces. Normally, it is as follows. The ball bounces to a lesser height than the distance. If you understand me :)
E.g. here it shows:

But I do not know, we can still try :idea:

Thanks so much everyone!
I'll try to do it online in SpiderBasic.

very good work :!:

i had the same impression as oreopa, i would expect it to bounce to the center of each block.
when it bounces over the gaps, its just 'hanging' at the current bounce height. imo it would look better if it changed height also over these gaps. the bouncing from/to center of blocks would probably help here to.
but awesome work. the mechanics remind me to an old dos game 'bolo ball': http://playdosgamesonline.com/bolo-ball.html
