There weren't enough levels afterwards to give a lot of material to explore the mechanics, and it all came down to dumping the ball off the level so it misses the platforms and hits the goal."},{"author_name":"uberneen","author_uid":"10893","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:50pm","epoch":1367271900,"text":"Nod bad, a little tough to get used to.

I wish that the ball was textured so that I could get some sense of how fast it was rolling and where it was i 3D space. I also didn't feel super confident in how the keys were going to affect the rotation of the platform, or even of which platform I was controlling.
