Ballin is all about gravity. It is a two-dimensional physics-based puzzle game with a unique twist, where the player must navigate a ball through a level of dangerous blocks in order to reach the portal key. However, the player cannot move the ball directly. In order to navigate the level, you must alter the world's gravity, allowing the ball to move through the level on its own.
Ballin is now on sale as part of Because We May.

Every time I try to run the demo, it says something to the effect of "The tool Visual Studio 2010 x86 failed to install. Bad result [37.0]". I'm on a windows 7 x64 machine, if that helps.
I've never come across that error, but I've tried including the x64 redistributable. Let me know if that solves the problem for you.
It did not. The info that came up leads me to believe it was still trying to install the x86 version.
I think it might be a problem with the Desura client not installing the redistributable correctly. I'm going to upload a new version of the Demo that includes the redist directly in the install file. Also, starting with the new patch, a standalone installer will also be available.
Any chance of a Linux version?
The plan is to have a Linux version available in less than two weeks.
Use a device with rotation & acceleration sensor. I think it makes more sense.
Mobile devices with this functionality are already in the works! :)
Cool puzzle game. =)
