I can't really do the time trials but I had fun playing the levels. This reminds me a lot of another game I played a long while ago, and the core mechanic of spinning wheel player was enjoyable there, too. Not being able to see the course, however, served to make this game pretty unique. I've said this on a lot of comments for games already, but having lots of levels really seems to be a big improvement in games like this."},{"author_name":"acronaut","author_uid":"22870","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 7:21am","epoch":1367219760,"text":"I'm stuck on 2nd level.

The gear seems to have way too much momentum, it doesn't respond quickly to my inputs, so it's often turning the wrong way.

They change the direction of the applied torque.  You have to plan ahead and cope with the momentum.  You are right. I could have made much better music.  I was going for strange and offbeat.
