This is a really great idea, but the controls really bugged the hell out of me. Way too easy to just miss something and then have to wait that infuriatingly long time before your ball respawns. Maybe it's just to make it more difficult but to me it just made it frustrating and I didn't want to play a second time.
Also would have been useful to have shortcut keys for the powerups, and I noticed a NaN bug in the score after one level.
Other than that though, cool idea, loved the celebrities and the graphics in general were well done.

"Great concept, controls very difficult"
I think this concept is done quite well, and the random levels are a very nice touch. Even if the graphics are a bit simple they work OK, and the level previews are useful. Unfortunately, I found the character VERY difficult to control, and it seems like younger children would get frustrated extremely quickly. Good luck in the contest!

There seems to be split opinion on the controls, but i guess we'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for your review =]

Nicely done, though I think the graphics could've done with a bit more work, the board tends to blend into itself and it's hard to see what is what, and the flashing text gets kind of annoying. The music is also very repetitive, but at least it can be turned off.
The A.I is quite good, I lost against the computer first try.
All in all, great job, good luck in the contest!

Some OK animation at the start, but I kept expecting something else to happen. It's not really very interesting watching a thing lick a toaster while music plays if that's all there is. This would've worked better as a YTMND or something.
Author's Response:
Possibly, but I personally think it works as a flash movie.
