Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

This is incredible machine!
it took me about 56 hours to complete the original and a extra 2 hours to completely redo backgrounds and make it loop...
this is basically just a ball going through many different obstacles, and if you want to see the original then check out my acc!

(i read and respond to all)
lmfao at line rider great movie 15/15
this only made me dizzy and backgrounds were not good
you are truly a god of animation! you are by far the best flash guy in NG... thats all you told me to say.
OH YEAH! you flash makes my song even better!
lol jk nice flash dude!
But the 'real life' type pictures in the background really throw things off. The drawn stuff is ok as it matches in.
the background in the start confuses me and it was a bit boring otherwise good
This flash wass O.K, but a very low OK at that.
The backgrounds were horrific, you could have at least made your own.
And the music didn't suit it at all.
Good Try

I liked the stuff you added with the update. The backgrounds and music flow very nicely together. Keep up the great work!
I like the simplicity of the ball, along with the complex backrounds. It reminds me of "Marble Madness" or more plainly a pinball game. I'm not sure if your familiar with MM, it was an old school game, but it was fun, and so were pinball machines. This flash brings me back to simpler times, and it was fun to watch. I also liked the audio and SFX, keep up the good work :-)
sorry too boring.. i exited after 10 seconds.. and the sounds where really annoying
The joy of watching an 'incredible machine' like this comes from appreciating how the whole bizarre system works together, but the elements shown here appear too crude and transitions happen too abruptly to understand what we're being shown. The ball begins moving upward, and apparently ends up in space, but the machine elements that precede it don't seem sufficient to explain the launch. I assume the ball then slingshots around planets, except the planets appear as simple colored circles and the movement doesn't resemble orbital mechanics. More detailed effort on this sequence would've made the intent clearer and the effect more awesome.
The end of the space sequence also involves some kind of electric ball, which is out of place in that context. I totally did not know how to interpret it, or understand how this element would work in the overall system.
The dramatic effect of the space travel was also lost by the abrupt transition back to an ordinary ramp system, which went on for several seconds before the aclimactic conclusion.
If the author does another 'incredible machine', he should take more care in composing the narrative arc and in portraying the elements of the machine.
Some sort of machine that uses a balls wacky path (and ridiculous physics) to end up in some glowing light thing then it loops. I mean the 1st planet you orbit around it should have been a direct hit .
Even if your bro did delete it is still pretty great to see
Very good, enjoyed it alot!
This was pretty good
1) i liked the way you used a real background
2) cool sounds
3) good animation
the music was awesome, the flash was cool. I liked the backgrounds too. Good job 10/10
I dont know why, but this is actually really good... for some reason.. id actually go far enough to say its worth front page... doubt itll go on though
