Fun concept, I would say you should probably have a grace period at the start of levels before the noodle starts sliding as it would often just immediately slide off as soon as I hit restart. I was also able to cheese some levels by just finding a sweet spot where the noodle slides very slowly or not at all and not move my mouse afterwards. Other than that it was enjoyable to play!

I really don't know what is happening. I tried balancing the noodle any way possible but I kept failing and reseting... I don't know if I was missing something.
