"feeling guilt"

+++ simple to pick up.
++ Funky music
-- The 'win' comes suddenly and seems somewhat arbitrary. You could have at least stated the goal before the game.
- fading text is just annoying.
------ The motion of the ball just seems kinda annoying and unnatural. I found that once the ball was in the air, it was too easy to keep it in a straight line and when the ball falling, the way the motion depends on the timing over such a short period of time makes it all feel slightly random and frustrating.
Hard to put my finger on why - above are just hypotheses - but I basically don't like the motion at all, whereas the classic keepy-uppy game works quite well.
??? If the shadow changed size, relative to the button's height, that'd make for good feedback.
==
Beat it on maybe 6th attempt. Replayed, beat on maybe 4th attempt.
In a way, my favourite thing about this game is that the end meant I could stop playing without feeling guilty.
