Just played the web version! Cool idea for movement, very original.
Unfortunately I only have a trackpad so it was VERY difficult haha, but I appreciate the new take on controls :)
If you plan on updating post jam, I'd suggest making the circles that you draw move the ball MORE to ease up on the hand pain lol.
It was quite fun to build up speed when going downhill then hitting a jump. Good stuff!
Thanks so much for the feedback. Yes, I will adjust the controls after the jam so it's easier to keep the ball's momentum, that should help a lot.
I actually tested using mouse and trackpad and in my case the difficulty felt similar, but then I tried a friend's cheap mouse and it actually felt a bit easier, so I think it really depends on device and sensitivity.
It might also be worth adding a calibration screen, or making it so larger circles move the wheel faster, or adding a difficulty selection. I implemented the controls because I thought it was a funny idea, it's a lot more nuanced that I was expecting. It's just that in a short Jam I didn't have time to properly refine it.
