Holy crap! It's Marble Blast!
Seriously, if you don't know what I'm talking about, I highly recommend Googling it. Marble Blast Gold was a really cool PC game, with a fun cartoony art style. Not sure if it's actually around any more, or if there have been sequels made, but it would be a really good "research game" if you're looking for inspiration, or just want to know what's out there as far as "ball-rolling" games go.
This actually looks like a really cool idea, and with the Portal 2 authoring tools, I can imagine you could come up with some very complex courses, with puzzles going way above and beyond Marble Blast. Heck, with enough work, I could even see this becoming a full-fledged mod (though that may not have been your plan for it).
Good luck on the project, it looks really fun.
