How does your game fit the theme?
We aimed to fit the theme of "Out of Control" by removing direct control of the player character. Levels also increasingly get faster as more rotations occur, removing even more control from the player. Our goal was to create a frantic fast paced experience where the player would need to quickly react and adjust so the situation as it gradually escalates further and further out of control.

The turn mechanic was really cool. My main issue was with the slime's own turning and how random it was and how it just didn't work sometimes. Overall cool game.

I love the turn mechanic, how does that work? Are you turning the view? I also like the visuals. But I didn't quite understad the rules behind the movement of the little guy. At some parts it also seems a little messy, as he disappeared one time or standing and facing next to a falling rock resulted in a dead, but overall great game. Also it would be helpful if you show in which direction the levels turn. At least for me it didn't feel very intuitive.

Best game i have played so far! REally intresting and unique mechanic and very good level design. Really awesome!

Wasn't expecting to be see this much challenge out of this mechanic!  The first game I've had to use my nogg on so far.  Nice project!
