It starts out simple enough, but the physics vary from play to play. You can do absolutely zero changes to your set up and the ball will just go somewhere else. Some levels are so hard they seem impossible or just by luck. I can understand it's called the "The Hardest Thing," but the hardest thing about this game is it lacks actual problem solving. You're literally just lucky if something works right. The concept was nice but this is a disaster. You're absolutely limited by how well the Unity engine can stay consistant from level to level, or just working smooth at all. Here I was hoping I refunded this disaster.

I rarely write reviews, however after playing this game for an hour or so and feeling i will probably never open it again, i feel compelled to. I was looking for a nice straightforward puzzle game, and given the description, it seemed promising. The problem is not in what the puzzles are but HOW they are made. This "game" is a mere demo. Sure the idea is pretty interesting, a ball has to fall in a specific place, and you have to place objects along the path in order to "help" it reach the goal. Pretty neat, right? Yes, except, placing the objects feels difficult because they always reset to their original position, so you spend so much time putting them back in the way you wanted them, it resets... you want them on a book, they end up on a shelf, falling an knocking things about. And i'm like "but, but i haven't even let go of the mouse button, wtf???". Then, when you let the ball go.... it takes it for freaking EVER to begin falling, and the player has to wait 4-5sec each try to s...
Fun as well as tricky. I found that raising/lowering items can be a little erratic at times, but it's not game breaking and I'm sure the Unity can be tweeked going forward in a patch. Nice to have a game that the whole family can play. Multiple profile saves makes this convenient to state the obvious.
This game is a fun game, but to be honest there are things in levels (like the legos) that effect the game which is frustrating to me. I think that some of the levels should multiple ways of completing it.I also think that the time should be extended. Overall, the game might have some issues, but it's very fun and enjoyable if you like puzzles.
Wonderful game with some challenging puzzles. I found it most fun when playing the game on Twitch and having a friend basically play the game with me. It was fun to discuss options of what we could do to hit the bullseye and seeing who had the right idea. The visuals are nice and something about the overall feel and gameplay has a very relaxing effect on me. I highly recommend this game.
I love this game its so much fun that i made a lets play about it
Here is a review of The Hardest Thing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35X_JzejBW4
Bought this to play it with my son, but the game consists of placing blocks to guide a ball, and we found that more fun to do in reality. Also placing the blocks is pretty frustrating, as mouse and keyboard are not very good for orienting objects in 3D, but I guess that's not the developer's fault.
