I don't understand why you can't restart levels with a simple keypress, like 'r' or something. Very frustrating on some levels.
Also, when a player tries to jump very very soon before touching the ground, it should still work. It's just one of those things platformers generally do. It feels rigid and unpolished otherwise.
There was really no way of knowing how fast or what pattern you wanted us to click the big circle with to make it bigger so it was impossible to finish the game. I think maybe a tip was intended there but you forgot to include it.
No. For the ball is not intended tips.
Update on Oct 4, 2022:
==================
Came back 6 years later to try this again. Still annoying but I'm raising the score since despite it's many shortcomings, this new version of me (even smarter, amazingly) would more aptly assess this game to be worth 3.5 stars.

It makes no sense that the progress bar on a plot doesn't correspond to an item for that plot.
It's mostly random. Has little relationship to growing an item.
The bar should just be per item.
Also.. why would you even have upgrades for upgrading the capacity of plots?
No one cares how many of an item they can store up.
It was a stupid mechanic to even have (capacity)
Progression is WAY TOO SLOW.
That kills the fun of the game.
I gave it a couple hours. And I'm at such a standstill and have such stupid upgrades to look forward to... that I'm done.
After 100 attempts to get the candy on trial 9, i voted this game a zero.
It is impossible to reach that candy.
And the spike? Was unnecessary because it's impossible even without it.
Wow.
This gained you probably the most important thing NG has to offer, my curiosity.
that was fun. and the bars didn't move too fast at all. any faster and it might have been annoying. was perfect the way it was

That's very cool to be compared to such an amazing game designer. Thanks!
