Fun as hell! I love the crisp white/blue design of the graphics here, first off. Secondly, the gameplay of getting to either sling around the blob as a slingshot.... or to pull it onto an anchorpoint.... or... to cause it to drop to the ground and bounce off the ground (love the physics there).... so many options, so many ways to beat a level, but only a few that will get you a good time bonus.
Also, when doing the primary slingshot thing, seeing a little "ghost" arc ahead of the anchorpoint where the blob will fly is really neat. Kinda like those Billiards video games that give you a SLIGHT cheat as to where your cue ball is going to go, but not infinitely so.
Good sound effects, too, which I had forgotten to mention to this point. And I love using the cannons. Greatness. Oh, and it's not a knock, trust me, the gameplay feels really similar to the slingshot moments in Super Mario Galaxy, which are some of the most fun gameplay moments in that great Wii game. So well done to you, a great game all around! Huzzah!
