Wow, this is one of my favorite carts so far! The bouncing mechanic was a little hard to understand at first, but it ended up being a really satisfying and unique way of attacking. I'm a fan of the NES-esque graphics, too. A lot of Pico-8 carts end up looking more 16-bit but this really does a good job of capturing the feel of the black-box games on NES.
The boss fights are great, too! I was surprised by there being three of them, and that last one took me quite a few tries. Anyway, great work!

Really cool game!

The ball form physic and mechanics are great, and I really like the variety in platforms and enemies.
I didn't finish the game yet (maybe I'll comment more when I get to it :)), but so far I felt like there was rarely any need for the normal form, so maybe there could have been more stuff requiring that. Anyway, really good stuff!

Edit:
Played again today and finished it! (In one sitting, though save feature is nice to have:))
Enjoyed it a lot, thanks!
I realized the issue with the second level I had on the first play was that I hadn't yet learned how to bounce higher in ball mode, so I thought you had to do a precise jump up in normal mode to get up to the platform in the beginning, if you get what I mean?
But seriously nice, besides what I already said I liked, 3 different bosses and everything, awesome!


Made another update with a saving feature
