This is an interesting idea, a good take on the theme.
I agree with the comment the controls are a bit crazy, I am not sure it was your idea.
what do you mean by "I am not sure it was your idea"?
I mean, I not sure it was intentional or positive for the experience to have these control syst. I feel the puzzles would work better with tank controls (rotate and forward back) or simply directional movement and no mouse look)
