The game involved in the Toronto Game Jam 2009.

User guide
Keep a good lookout as the ball will start to move quickly at the beginning of the game. Right at the start will see that the terrain changes.
Depending on the land which the ball would change speed, if it is in the water, the speed is slower. If it goes to ground, the speed increases.
Beware of buildings, and the ball will bounce off them, with the clouds, which will greatly hinder vision, and floating enemies that attack you and make "paddle" smaller, making it harder to hit the ball.
