Is this a sequal to Switchball?  Looks very similar.

No, it doesn't appear to have anything to do Switchball.

I played it a little bit this afternoon, the game is really janky. The ball accelerates really fast making it really easy to fall off, especially playing with a keyboard and mouse. I may try the 360 controller later. There's are a lot of clutter around the levels (i.e. crates, palm trees, small rivers, etc.) that slow you down and you have to try to maneuver around. There are three difficulty modes Easy, Medium, and Hard, and even on Medium the time restraints are really demanding. If you can blast through a level in 10 seconds doing it perfectly, then the game will probably give you 15 seconds, making it extremely difficult to collect all the doo-dads that the game scatters around for you to collect for bonus points.

I give it a Meh/10. It's no Marble Blast Gold/Ultra.
