Very unique and interesting concept. The tilting-controls are a bit awkward, but it's fun to play around!

The gameplay mechanic with the letters is really cool and unique!

Found it immensely difficult to tilt the arena in a meaningful way where spinning mattered. Ultimately I found this to be a bunch of very interesting mechanics that didn't come together for me.

This is a really interesting idea! I think it gets a little bit tedious trying to beat everything but its a solid concept. I think maybe bumping up how long your spin last / increase the degree of your tilt could help with that. Regardless, solid entry, good job! :)

This is super interesting. I think the atmosphere could've been improved with some ambient tunes, but the coin FX were still cool! The letters were irritating for me because it seemed like there should be some predictable movement but I don't think there was. Overall a fun quick arcade style game!

Took me a bit till I checked the control of this game. It's a bit awkward but definitely innovative! It was fun to play, but after a little while pretty boring. Soundtrack would have been nice.

I love the controlls. It feels like golf but more interesting. Thank you for this game.

Nice phisics and lovely puzzle game. Maybe I want some more different arenas and some "levels to finish the game", but it's a cool game. Thank you

The controls are very akward to get used to. I found myself struggling in the begining to understand the best way to hit each coin. I ended up winning in 16 moves

At first it fields really weird, but when you learn the control mechanics it becomes pretty fun.

wow, I was not expecting a pool game on this theme. really cool! It took me 22 moves to win. probably the most fun I've had with an entry's difficulty on this one. My one criticism is that I never used the board tilt mechanic, since by the time I could move my hands to the arrow keys the coin had expended most of it's spin.

Well, i found it easier to just smash your head onto the keyboard for great success :D

But seriously, it was unpleasing to the eye to find a letter then find it on a keyboard then find out that it moved to a bad spot to hit then find another letter and so on.

Hilarious take on the theme, and great use of physics. I made some pretty cool looking (but sadly ineffectual) jumps off of the ramps in the middle of the map, and I did eventually knock all coins down. Fun game!
