Despite the weird camera angle it was actually fairly controllable, and the effect of seeing the track forever was cool.

Some things to note, though, are that the camera felt very jerky and some of the coins felt tedious to pick up (maybe their collision box should've been bigger?). The music is fairly generic but it's unobtrusive and works for the purpose. The coin sound is kind of weird."},{"author_name":"daniel2357","author_uid":"21129","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 4:48pm","epoch":1367512980,"text":"The mouse control is a bit hard and \u05dbrustrating.

Nice huge level... fun moving around. Camera to set move direction probably needs lower\/upper limit on angle relative to player object... otherwise easy to set "impossible to proceed" view which has to be unwound by lifting mouse (for me anyway).
