There's a lot more going on here than it looks like. The game is at its best when it has properly unfolded and is scaling to ever more absurd heights. There's elements of it that feel lopsided, though -- despite all the bonuses it gives you for everything you touch, past midgame, only the highest level ball in the center slot ever matters and the rest is just noise.

There's a second level once the first one ends, with new mechanics, that feels like a bonus level to extend the experience a little bit once you "win". And then it tells you once you're out of content, rather than trailing off into infinity, which I appreciate.
