And I love the game feel around the game with the picture taken etc.\nBut the gameplay itself I find it a bit frustrating I had a really hard time changing direction as soon as I had too much speed. I think its because the arrows actually are linked to the rotation speed between the wheel and the bar. I would have made this a \"free rotation axis\" and only balance with a small force on the top of the bar. I don't know if it makes sense.\nAnyway great job \ud83d\ude01","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":710112,"author_name":"HolyShot","author_uid":"holyshot","epoch":1633288473,"text":"It's really challenging.
