You need to turn this into an arcade cabinet with track ball - so good!

Lovely game loop that's fun, challenging and leaves you with the 'One More' feeling. Mixed with some satisfying sound work and a killer soundtrack!

(PS: Add more purple bubbles)

Can you add text to speech for the blind people or sound effects so that we know where things are ?
