I would make restarting much much faster than it is now. That's the most annoying part and it breaks the satisfying chain completely for me. I miss and then have to watch it slowly fall, or struggle to find the reset button. And even if I hit the reset, I have to go through the menu.
At the very least, put the reset and play again buttons in the same spot, so I can just keep tapping/clicking there.
Super Meat Boy is how all games like this should be.
The author hasn't complained (yet). I will open source it if he wouldn't mind.
Regarding moat, I doubt the logic behind a server would prevent anyone to copycat game concept and graphics. Games have always been cloned as community remakes, with little recourse to take them down.
Nice! Some ideas: Please can you remove the text that hides the main game view. This is the biggest annoyance on both games and slows you down a lot. Also the gravity / physics feels off. Orbit is too slow.
I'm not sure if it was added after your comment, but there's a restart button at the bottom center of the screen that you can hit while the ball is falling.
