Really neat game. Takes some time to get the hang of it. Some levels are frustratingly hard. The basic levels are all quite doable.
Have played this game quite some time (not via Desura, just from repos) and I'm suprised to hear people calling the controlls jerky. Aren't they using the mouse or something? You don't want to play this game with the keyboard, but with mouse (or joystick, I imagine) it works like a charm.
(The rest is skill-dependent. ;-))
Its Free plus fun so why not download!
Controls can be jerky, but its fun
This is a great game, but I find it really hard to control. I struggled just to finish the first level. Any advice? I really like these kind of "rolling ball" games.
I really recommend trying it with an analog joystick. It's a lot easier to me because of how the board recenters automatically.
Using the arrow keys on a keyboard works like this too, though it is a little bit more jerky.
Yes, tried analog control and it became better. Didn't find that option anywhere in the game, though. Just started it and started messing with my gamepad and was O.o, then \o/!
The best tip I can give you is to use the smallest movements possible and try to avoid bouncing off the rails. As with anything skill based, practice is the biggest thing!
Watching the video, I can't fathom the amount of control needed to such smooth runs. Oh, well, I'll try until I get enraged. :D
Being frustrated is the best part! :D
There's nothing better than the sense of accomplishment you get from persevering and overcoming a difficult level.
You might also find that manual camera (F3) might help you master ball control before having to deal with automatic camera (F1 and F2) movements.
