Only 1 per 45 sec if you return it to the hurricane.

Controls were a little counterintuitive. Since it's a ball, you expect it to roll all directions, but the controls are more car-like with the steering\/forward\/back.

I found the ball hard to control, and I wasn't sure exactly what I was supposed to be doing (e.g. yellow blobs seem good, but is the blue tornado bad?)  I'd reset seemingly randomly (I assume that was the oxygen running out).  Music was nice, but got too repetitive.  So, cool, but a bit frustrating.  The contoured planet seemed to work quite well.
