Dinsun Review
Building things is fun, I'll give it that. Ball Maze Maker provides a competent enough toolkit for those who enjoy level editors. However, as a 'game,' it’s thin. Once you've built a maze, the actual act of playing it feels floaty. The physics aren't tight enough for a serious puzzle enthusiast.
I appreciate the lack of bloat, but it feels like a project that's about 70% finished. It needs better textures and a more robust sharing system to really mean anything. It's a distraction, not an engagement. If you want to fiddle with an editor for an afternoon, it’s okay, but don't expect it to hold your attention for a week.
