Hi Joe
Had a brief play with this. First impression is that I just couldn't
understand what was happening - everything was whizzing by at a million
miles an hour. However, this could be my setup.
I do like the look/feel quite a lot, and think its shaping up very well.
I had a thought - could you allow some horizontal motion (perhaps with
inertia/acceleration) to allow me to shift the head back/forward if to catch
the bits as they whizz by... though it might add a bit more fun to the
catching process.
Great to see this and Manuel's game in development - keep up the good work!
Stella is too quiet without your updates.
Cheers
A
