I couldn´t understand it.

I am therefore curious as to why it deserved a 7 in your opinion! Oh well, I will try my best to explain it.
We live in a boring world - a world of office jobs, doing dishes, sitting in traffic, waiting on the bus or train, or whatever. The moments in those environments go by SO SLOWLY. So we made an effort to brighten them up.
Using everyday objects in everyday environments, you can add some excitement to each moment of your life. If a week later you're sitting on a bus and you start imagining balls falling down, and it makes you life just a hint better, a hint happier, then we've done our job.
I'm really confused...
The four tutorial levels at the beginning were totally confusing and really didn't help explain the game. And then when I got to the game I really couldn't play because I didn't know what I was doing or what the hell was going on :/
TonyDowney responds:
Hmmm... we'll have to take that into consideration with our tutorial revamp we're doing tonight. It's a tough balance between hand-holding and discovery in a game as unique as this.
What the fuck is the point?
Seriously ive been playing and playing and I still dont get the point at all. Ok yeah get a high score ect ect but thats about it.... basically set up garbage everywhere on screen to keep the balls bouncing around and force them into the cup. Click on the tube or whatever is launching the balls and have them turn white and give you even more points or some shit.... not a clue and not very fun in the long run.
TonyDowney responds:
Most of the games I grew up playing had no point (other than the recurring theme of genocide), so I guess that was the idea. We still included unlockables and a few places to spend your pinwheels and high scores and stuff, just to bring it up to current day. But yes, I freely admit that we didn't spend our days mulling about the purpose of TumbleBall, beyond just having fun.
But yeah. Space Invaders? Alien Genocide. Zelda? Monster genocide. And Mario? Mario, oh man... apparently if a useless head of state gets kidnapped - not even threatened or used for ransom, but just kidnapped - then the calm and measured response is the attempted elimination of the Koopa race.
Not bad, son
It gets a little easy once you figure out what to do, but I still enjoyed it!
TonyDowney responds:
Hee hee hee... it's for users like you that we created Time Attack mode!
Meh.
It's a cute and quirky concept but it got dull quickly for me.
TonyDowney responds:
Huzzah, our first 'meh'!
