Nice, original idea and well implemented. I think some kind of confirmation that i'm jumping would improve it a lot; A sound or higher jump for example - at the minute it's very difficult to tell.

It did remind me of super monkey ball and that's definitely not a bad thing!

I thought the platforming might be easier with a narrower FOV, its currently quite hard to work out your exact position. You could even give some lee-way by allowing jumps for a short period after the player has technically moved off of a platform. It sounds like cheating, but will feel fairer.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>From a level design perspective it would be really cool to allow high-risk shortcut dives between the different levels. And having hard-to-reach powerups is more fun when they don't interrupt the flow of each level - (so less backtracking to get them and more tricky platforming).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work!"},{"author_name":"ellipticaldoor","author_uid":"24027","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 10:41pm","epoch":1377815760,"text":"Nice idea and really fun to play!"},{"author_name":"xrm0","author_uid":"25867","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 11:53am","epoch":1377863280,"text":"Nice concept"},{"author_name":"tigerj","author_uid":"14172","time":"Sep 1, 2013 @ 4:17am","epoch":1378008720,"text":"Like super monkey ball on steroids.

But then you got me thinking and I realized I could just as well rotate around some other point (e.g. where the pad that activated the rotation is located). So we'll see, maybe I'll include it in the next version. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Chinchilla thanks for the tips. Many of them already in the next version. I'll see what I'll do about alternative paths as it puts more requirements on level design planning and difficulty balancing (since everything centers on gaining points, simply skipping a level wouldn't benefit the player). It's still a nice idea. Maybe even more so if I add some parts of the world that stays put and don't rotate. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>And every one else.
