I get this error...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "rocketpwn", line 7, in <module>
import pygame
ImportError: No module named pygame

This is really hard, I tried for 20 minutes and couldn't get past the first level. If there was any control over which way I was rotating, then I could probably get somewhere. But the second curve just feels so hard since you have to have like perfect timing which feels impossible without lots of repetition. I don't know, but it is a cool concept and it's fun when it's not frustrating.

To fix the ImportError, you can do one of:

(sudo) easy_install pygame
(sudo) pip install pygame

depending on your system.

Very challenging game, but fun when it clicks

Wow, that is extremely hard to get the hang of

Wow, this is super hard and also challenging, yet so minimalistic. +1 for coding in python :)
I also considered using python, but didn't know how to distribute a bundle with interpreter and all libraries, so that the user doesn't need to install any stuff.

ah, okay, the trick is to keep spinning, when the pulse drive is strongest.
