Physics are a bit buggy, I got stuck in a wall a few times. The biggest problem however is the controls. You take far too long to slow down, making it like you are playing on an ice level. On top of that you speed up in an instant and change direction in an instant, making precise movement impossible"},{"author_name":"eldog","author_uid":"34252","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 9:44am","epoch":1398677940,"text":"@martjin, @Aomeas, @orangepascal\r\rAgree I should have fixed the controls to make them less slippery.
