I never really reached a point where I felt like I had any intuitive understanding of how to control the game! I "got" the rules after a level or two, but even then I never really became proficient. The best trick I found was to use the glitchy physics to stick to walls until rotation was at the correct angle. I definitely felt out of control.
Oh, I loved the level where you go outside the level. That was great. (Still sickening/dizzying lol)
