Thanks AprikotGames! I really like the stuff you guys make too (loved Neon Pagoda on MiniJam 63 and your recent entry in this minijam is very nice too! )
You're right about the controls, you can actually use SHIFT to accelerate your rotation and catch up, but in reality, the most comfortable controls would be that the velocity matches the spiral. I think with a little tweak I can pull it off, we'll see. I want to add more levels too! Thanks for your feedback!
